both_o the_o judge_n and_o rule_n of_o their_o religion_n will_v ill_o bear_v the_o title_n of_o fanatic_n and_o enthusiast_n but_o it_o be_v possible_a that_o even_o such_o may_v be_v find_v vel_fw-la cum_fw-la vel_fw-la sine_fw-la ratione_fw-la insanire_fw-la if_o the_o socinian_n appear_v to_o do_v so_o he_o must_v not_o take_v it_o ill_o to_o be_v rank_v with_o the_o papist_n in_o this_o charge_n also_o and_o equal_o accuse_v of_o unreasonable_a religion_n no_o better_a than_o fanaticism_n or_o enthusiasm_n as_o well_o as_o idolatry_n and_o antiscripturism_n that_o this_o charge_n may_v appear_v fare_n and_o just_a i_o shall_v first_o describe_v what_o i_o mean_v by_o fanaticism_n and_o enthusiasm_n or_o enthusiastical_a fanaticism_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v apply_v it_o to_o our_o present_a subject_n the_o papist_n and_o socinian_n and_o see_v their_o agreement_n in_o it_o sect_n i._o fanaticism_n describe_v modern_a fanaticism_n and_o enthusiasm_n i_o reckon_v to_o be_v nothing_o else_o but_o a_o religion_n if_o it_o deserve_v the_o name_n that_o have_v no_o foundation_n either_o in_o the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o sound_a reason_n but_o be_v found_v in_o dream_n or_o fancy_n or_o pretend_a inspiration_n or_o divine_a revelation_n beside_o and_o other_o than_o the_o holy_a scripture_n now_o whether_o i_o err_v in_o this_o idea_n or_o character_n of_o fanaticism_n or_o no_o yet_o i_o be_o sure_a that_o religion_n that_o may_v be_v thus_o describe_v be_v a_o wild_a or_o a_o mad_a sort_n of_o religion_n socinian_n themselves_o be_v judges_n such_o be_v the_o religion_n found_v by_o mahomet_n and_o be_v fanatical_a and_o enthusiastical_a plain_n enough_o as_o all_o christian_n acknowledge_v and_o whether_o the_o papacy_n as_o such_o be_v much_o better_a be_v doubt_v by_o all_o learned_a protestant_n and_o how_o far_o socinianism_n be_v liable_a to_o the_o same_o condemnation_n be_v to_o be_v inquire_v present_o sect_n ii_o fanaticism_n the_o foundation_n of_o popery_n but_o first_o for_o the_o papacy_n as_o such_o that_o this_o have_v no_o foundation_n in_o scripture_n or_o reason_n that_o it_o be_v found_v only_o in_o dream_n and_o fancy_n and_o pretend_a inspiration_n or_o revelation_n will_v be_v easy_o grant_v if_o we_o consider_v how_o their_o several_a order_n be_v first_o found_v namely_o in_o fanatical_a enthusiasm_n as_o be_v most_o evident_o demonstrate_v by_o the_o excellent_a pain_n of_o a_o most_o learned_a prelate_n of_o our_o own_o now_o live_v worcester_z bishop_n of_o worcester_z moreover_o the_o very_a root_n of_o the_o papacy_n itself_o have_v no_o better_a ground_n i_o mean_v their_o pope_n supremacy_n as_o st._n peter_n pretend_a successor_n be_v nothing_o but_o dream_n and_o fancy_n or_o which_o be_v worse_o affect_a arrogance_n and_o presumption_n or_o precarious_a and_o violent_a imposition_n upon_o the_o christian_a world_n because_o they_o find_v it_o absolute_o necessary_a for_o the_o support_n of_o a_o rot_a or_o unsound_a building_n and_o be_v without_o the_o help_n either_o of_o scripture_n or_o find_v reason_n it_o rest_v only_o upon_o and_o resolve_v at_o last_o into_o a_o

it_o appear_v that_o sooinianism_n be_v so_o this_o be_v the_o next_o enquiry_n sect_n iii_o fanaticism_n at_o the_o bottom_n of_o socinianism_n to_o be_v clear_a in_o this_o enquiry_n we_o must_v consider_v the_o fundamental_a point_n on_o which_o the_o socinian_n religion_n as_o such_o chief_o if_o not_o entire_o rest_v and_o from_o whence_o it_o arise_v and_o it_o be_v plain_o this_o whether_o our_o saviour_n have_v a_o be_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n on_o this_o hang_v all_o the_o great_a question_n touch_v our_o lord_n filiation_n nature_n divinity_n
