allow_v the_o eternal_a generation_n of_o the_o logos_fw-la son_n or_o wisdom_n he_o explain_v also_o the_o incarnation_n or_o divinity_n of_o our_o saviour_n he_o make_v the_o incarnation_n of_o

that_o be_v of_o the_o incarnation_n or_o hypostatical_a union_n this_o be_v far_o enough_o to_o be_v orthodox_n but_o the_o unitarian_n believe_v somewhat_o more_o they_o be_v a_o degree_n or_o two_o

at_o most_o on_o the_o account_n of_o god_n assist_v and_o inspire_v they_o as_o occasion_v happen_v to_o require_v but_o the_o unitarian_n as_o i_o say_v believe_v somewhat_o more_o they_o do_v not_o
