A49188	The scripture-terms of church-union, with respect to the doctrin of the trinity confirmed by the unitarian explications of the beginning of St. John's Gospel; together with the Answers of the Unitarians; to the chief objections made against them: whereby it appears, that men may be unitarians, and sincere and inquisitive, and that they ought not to be excluded out of the church-communion. With a post-script, wherein the divinity of Christ, and of the Holy Ghost, according to the generality of the terms of scripture, is shewn, not to be inconsistent with the unitarian systems. Most earnestly and humbly offered to the consideration of those, on whom 'tis most particularly incumbent to examin these matters. By A.L. Author of the Irenicum Magnum, &c.

of_o scripture_n and_o in_o draw_v the_o natural_a and_o necessary_a consequence_n from_o it_o and_o agreable_o to_o these_o just_a measure_n they_o take_v in_o a_o figurative_a sense_n those_o text_n which_o according_a to_o the_o literal_a sound_n of_o the_o word_n manifest_o appear_v to_o our_o reason_n to_o be_v unworthy_a of_o god_n and_o to_o be_v express_o contrary_a to_o reason_n upon_o that_o account_n they_o understand_v figurative_o for_o instance_n that_o say_v of_o our_o saviour_n that_o the_o bread_n of_o the_o eucharist_n be_v his_o body_n and_o that_o except_o we_o eat_v

for_o for_o instance_n in_o the_o controversy_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n what_o reason_n show_v clear_o and_o distinct_o they_o esteem_v ought_v not_o to_o be_v unregarded_a they_o hold_v therefore_o that_o we_o be_v not_o rash_o to_o understand_v or_o interpret_v scripture_n in_o sense_n manifest_o contrary_a to_o reason_n when_o especial_o that_o scripture_n appear_v susceptible_a of_o some_o other_o sense_n and_o they_o affirm_v that_o this_o be_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v not_o only_o most_o evident_o just_a and_o rational_a but_o also_o express_o agreeable_a to_o the_o
