    • 1689, John Selden, Table Talk, London: E. Smith, Section 141 “Trinity,” p. 142,
      The second Person is made of a piece of Bread by the Papist, the Third Person is made of his own Frenzy, Malice, Ignorance and Folly, by the Roundhead. To all these the Spirit is intituled. One the Baker makes, the other the Cobbler; and betwixt these two, I think the First Person is sufficiently abused.
