at_o his_o lordship_n for_o say_v that_o some_o have_v think_v that_o the_o term_n son_n do_v not_o at_o all_o belong_v to_o the_o bless_a three_o but_o only_o to_o our_o saviour_n as_o he_o be_v the_o messiah_n the_o jew_n have_v have_v this_o notion_n of_o the_o messiah_n that_o as_o he_o be_v to_o be_v the_o king_n of_o israel_n so_o be_v he_o to_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n now_o do_v it_o appear_v from_o hence_o that_o the_o bishop_n be_v a_o favourer_n of_o this_o opinion_n or_o that_o himself_o do_v believe_v that_o the_o jew_n expect_v that_o their_o messiah_n shall_v not_o

plain_a that_o his_o lordship_n believe_v the_o contrary_a by_o what_o he_o have_v urge_v in_o defence_n of_o our_o lord_n divinity_n that_o the_o jew_n never_o object_v idolatry_n to_o the_o

of_o the_o platonic_a notion_n and_o it_o be_v long_o before_o these_o theory_n be_v well_o state_v and_o settle_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o many_o of_o the_o father_n have_v not_o only_o differ_v from_o one_o another_o but_o even_o from_o themselves_o in_o speak_v upon_o this_o argument_n to_o this_o say_v our_o critic_n after_o he_o have_v empty_v himself_o of_o his_o foul_a language_n which_o he_o every_o where_o abound_v with_o that_o all_o these_o traduce_a theory_n of_o faith_n be_v universal_o profess_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n and_o have_v but_o

in_o their_o explanation_n of_o it_o though_o they_o may_v believe_v it_o as_o firm_o and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o church_n catholic_n now_o do_v for_o though_o perhaps_o most_o of_o
