which_o be_v the_o second_o thing_n that_o he_o say_v offend_v all_o that_o the_o bishop_n
say_v of_o the_o father_n if_o i_o mistake_v he_o not_o be_v to_o this_o purpose_n that_o though_o the_o father_n may_v have_v the_o same_o notion_n of_o the_o trinity_n that_o we_o now_o have_v namely_o that_o every_o one_o of_o the_o bless_a three_o have_v a_o peculiar_a distinction_n in_o himself_o by_o which_o he_o be_v true_o different_a from_o the_o other_o two_o yet_o in_o their_o explanation_n of_o this_o doctrine_n they_o often_o go_v so_o far_o as_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o some_o to_o think_v that_o they_o believe_v a_o inequality_n between_o the_o person_n and_o a_o subordination_n of_o the_o second_o and_o three_o to_o the_o first_o and_o their_o explanatory_a notion_n of_o the_o trinity_n seem_v sometime_o to_o carry_v they_o beyond_o those_o bound_n the_o holy_a scripture_n have_v set_v they_o by_o all_o which_o his_o lordship_n can_v design_v nothing_o more_o than_o to_o show_v we_o that_o since_o some_o even_o of_o the_o father_n be_v sometime_o confound_v in_o their_o explanation_n of_o that_o sacred_a inconceivable_a mystery_n it_o will_v be_v great_a presumption_n in_o we_o to_o offer_v to_o explain_v the_o modes_n or_o to_o pretend_v to_o have_v any_o adequate_a conception_n of_o it_o that_o we_o may_v not_o presume_v to_o dive_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o those_o mystery_n which_o the_o primitive_a age_n of_o the_o church_n can_v never_o fathom_n and_o if_o they_o unhappy_o fail_v in_o the_o attempt_n it_o will_v be_v great_a arrogance_n in_o we_o to_o hope_v of_o have_v any_o better_a success_n nor_o do_v i_o find_v the_o least_o shadow_n of_o reason_n to_o think_v 2._o pag._n 2._o that_o the_o bishop_n in_o any_o part_n of_o his_o discourse_n as_o our_o author_n too_o false_o and_o malicious_o insinuate_v censure_v the_o catholic_n and_o establish_v principle_n of_o the_o ancient_n but_o only_o show_v we_o some_o of_o their_o failure_n and_o imperfection_n he_o deny_v not_o that_o the_o father_n believe_v a_o

away_o the_o mysteriousness_n of_o it_o and_o i_o wonder_v how_o our_o author_n have_v the_o confidence_n to_o say_v more_o i_o will_v give_v this_o parallel_a instance_n which_o may_v serve_v both_o to_o defend_v and_o illustrate_v what_o the_o bishop_n have_v say_v upon_o this_o subject_a of_o the_o father_n which_o our_o pretend_a vindicator_n where_o there_o be_v the_o least_o necessity_n for_o it_o make_v the_o great_a noise_n about_o we_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v certain_o believe_v and_o can_v undeniable_o prove_v that_o the_o primitive_a church_n be_v of_o the_o

that_o some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v express_v themselves_o in_o some_o of_o their_o write_n in_o such_o high_a strain_n and_o figurative_a rapture_n as_o may_v give_v occasion_n to_o some_o to_o think_v that_o they_o mean_v a_o corporal_a presence_n by_o those_o lofty_a expression_n which_o only_o their_o height_n of_o devotion_n draw_v from_o they_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n we_o may_v conclude_v that_o though_o the_o father_n believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o it_o be_v reveal_v in_o scripture_n yet_o in_o their_o explanation_n of_o the_o mode_n and_o manner_n of_o it_o some_o of_o they_o may_v have_v give_v we_o cause_n to_o think_v that_o several_a of_o those_o expression_n which_o they_o have_v let_v fall_v about_o it_o as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o forementioned_a doctrine_n go_v far_o than_o they_o be_v instruct_v or_o warrant_v by_o god_n word_n and_o this_o i_o think_v may_v be_v sufficient_a to_o explain_v the_o bishop_n sense_n about_o the_o father_n if_o i_o understand_v he_o aright_o and_o to_o answer_v all_o those_o ill_a nature_a exception_n which_o our_o vindicator_n have_v very_o unjust_o frame_v against_o it_o but_o i_o shall_v have_v more_o to_o say_v to_o he_o in_o his_o due_a place_n i_o shall_v then_o examine_v his_o first_o charge_n against_o the_o bishop_n â—_o pag._n â—_o viz._n that_o he_o foul_o state_v the_o faith_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o incarnation_n of_o christ_n and_o therein_o of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n of_o which_o say_v our_o author_n the_o bishop_n tell_v we_o there_o have_v be_v

i_o perceive_v this_o be_v one_o of_o the_o chief_a imputation_n of_o heresy_n against_o the_o bishop_n i_o never_o hear_v any_o man_n yet_o so_o much_o as_o speak_v against_o for_o say_v that_o

and_o persuasion_n of_o a_o party_n with_o what_o confidence_n he_o assert_v this_o i_o can_v imagine_v he_o can_v show_v i_o where_o the_o bishop_n say_v that_o the_o catholic_n faith_n be_v but_o a_o mere_a opinion_n for_o my_o part_n i_o can_v see_v no_o such_o thing_n throughout_o the_o whole_a discourse_n no_o more_o than_o i_o can_v find_v that_o he_o say_v it_o be_v the_o persuasion_n of_o a_o party_n i_o suppose_v he_o have_v a_o mind_n that_o the_o bishop_n shall_v have_v say_v it_o and_o since_o he_o have_v not_o he_o be_v so_o kind_a as_o to_o do_v it_o for_o he_o for_o the_o

he_o thus_o conclude_v his_o discourse_n upon_o this_o head_n this_o doctrine_n be_v so_o plain_o set_v down_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n that_o if_o the_o socinian_o exposition_n be_v to_o be_v

to_o balaam_n we_o may_v answer_v that_o he_o speak_v of_o jehovah_n as_o the_o god_n of_o israel_n and_o his_o word_n 21._o numb_a 23_o 21._o be_v jehovah_n his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o which_o

his_o god_n be_v with_o he_o whence_o it_o seem_v plain_a that_o he_o mean_v by_o it_o that_o the_o god_n who_o be_v more_o peculiar_o style_v jehovah_n among_o they_o be_v ready_a to_o help_v and_o

answer_n to_o our_o author_n i_o will_v venture_v to_o advance_v this_o probable_a account_n of_o it_o that_o though_o job_n as_o be_v now_o general_o believe_v live_v in_o the_o time_n of_o the_o

thereby_o to_o show_v the_o israelite_n and_o other_o that_o it_o be_v the_o same_o jehovah_n who_o be_v their_o god_n and_o in_o covenant_n with_o they_o lest_o the_o people_n who_o be_v very_o
