l._n i_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v take_v amiss_o if_o i_o make_v some_o remark_n upon_o it_o 1._o it_o be_v very_o divert_v to_o see_v a_o write_v call_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o four_o letter_n and_o not_o so_o much_o as_o a_o page_n or_o line_n or_o tittle_n of_o the_o four_o letter_n touch_v i_o confess_v that_o this_o be_v a_o easy_a way_n of_o answer_v and_o that_o at_o this_o rate_n any_o book_n upon_o earth_n may_v be_v answer_v any_o body_n may_v have_v the_o pleasure_n to_o be_v a_o author_n but_o i_o be_o not_o altogether_o satisfy_v that_o this_o be_v consistent_a with_o that_o reputation_n of_o learning_n and_o eloquence_n which_o these_o gentleman_n man_n have_v so_o just_o acquire_v one_o or_o two_o more_o such_o answer_n will_n i_o be_o afraid_a sink_v or_o at_o least_o endanger_v a_o part_n of_o it_o 2._o they_o give_v a_o rare_a reason_n for_o not_o meddle_v with_o the_o four_o letter_n i_o know_v not_o say_v the_o author_n p._n 47._o whether_o we_o be_v concern_v in_o they_o till_o i_o know_v more_o certain_o in_o what_o sense_n he_o hold_v a_o trinity_n of_o divine_a person_n and_o the_o divinity_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o saviour_n i_o beg_v leave_n of_o these_o gentleman_n to_o assert_v that_o they_o know_v as_o well_o as_o i_o do_v myself_o what_o be_v my_o sense_n in_o those_o matter_n obscurity_n be_v none_o of_o the_o many_o defect_n which_o the_o four_o letter_n may_v be_v charge_v with_o but_o they_o be_v not_o willing_a to_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o the_o discussion_n of_o so_o many_o citation_n or_o to_o make_v good_a the_o weak_a side_n of_o their_o write_n which_o they_o be_v sensible_a can_v not_o be_v maintain_v they_o have_v find_v of_o late_a a_o short_a cut_n and_o that_o be_v the_o famous_a distinction_n of_o real_a and_o nominal_a trinitarian_n they_o steal_v away_o with_o this_o on_o all_o occasion_n and_o still_o maintain_v a_o run_a fight_n it_o be_v their_o last_o refuge_n and_o have_v it_o not_o be_v for_o the_o rare_a contrivance_n there_o have_v be_v before_o this_o a_o end_n of_o the_o socinian_n controversy_n to_o answer_v a_o solid_a argument_n be_v a_o hard_a and_o general_o a_o unfortunate_a task_n but_o if_o they_o can_v but_o bring_v you_o right_a or_o wrong_n within_o the_o verge_n of_o the_o fatal_a distinction_n than_o they_o have_v always_o a_o large_a field_n for_o discourse_n they_o act_v in_o this_o like_o ingenious_a but_o whether_o altogether_o like_o conscientious_a man_n i_o be_o not_o willing_a to_o determine_v 3._o they_o be_v so_o full_a of_o that_o belove_a distinction_n and_o so_o fond_a of_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n that_o look_v like_o it_o that_o in_o what_o they_o call_v a_o answer_n to_o the_o four_o letter_n they_o have_v do_v to_o themselves_o and_o to_o i_o a_o real_a injury_n to_o themselves_o by_o a_o flat_a contradiction_n in_o the_o space_n of_o four_o page_n and_o to_o i_o by_o charge_v i_o with_o that_o which_o i_o never_o say_v or_o think_v they_o make_v i_o say_v that_o the_o divine_a person_n be_v three_o infinite_a spirit_n pag._n 43._o he_o say_v three_o infinite_a spirit_n each_o of_o they_o a_o god_n be_v all_o of_o they_o but_o one_o god_n i_o aver_v that_o there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o four_o letter_n which_o direct_o or_o indirect_o look_v like_o that_o it_o be_v not_o the_o language_n of_o scripture_n nor_o that_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n it_o never_o be_v and_o i_o hope_v shall_v never_o be_v i_o but_o this_o they_o have_v contradict_v pag._n 47._o by_o desire_v to_o know_v in_o what_o sense_n i_o hold_v a_o trinity_n of_o divine_a person_n one_o will_v be_v apt_a to_o say_v that_o this_o betray_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o incogitancy_n 4._o the_o four_o letter_n then_o be_v still_o sound_a and_o safe_a but_o the_o preface_n be_v engage_v and_o i_o must_v endeavour_v to_o bring_v it_o off_o two_o thing_n in_o it_o be_v except_v against_o the_o one_o that_o i_o say_v that_o the_o consent_n of_o the_o whole_a christian_a world_n must_v be_v a_o strong_a inducement_n to_o a_o modest_a socinian_n to_o mistrust_v all_o his_o argument_n and_o that_o to_o oppose_v all_o that_o be_v great_a and_o good_a in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n in_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n which_o word_n the_o author_n of_o the_o answer_n have_v overlook_v be_v too_o much_o for_o the_o most_o presume_a disputant_n he_o say_v to_o this_o p._n 40._o that_o the_o case_n be_v this_o one_o side_n have_v argument_n the_o other_o have_v authority_n and_o number_n and_o that_o in_o a_o clash_n between_o argument_n and_o number_n that_o whole_a world_n and_o all_o that_o be_v great_a in_o it_o when_o weigh_v against_o but_o one_o argument_n be_v as_o if_o you_o have_v put_v nothing_o at_o all_o into_o the_o scale_n i_o say_v that_o he_o absolute_o mistake_v the_o case_n we_o maintain_v that_o the_o church_n have_v reason_n as_o well_o as_o authority_n and_o number_n and_o that_o on_o this_o very_a account_n a_o modest_a socinian_n must_v lose_v much_o of_o his_o confidence_n by_o all_o that_o be_v great_a and_o good_a i_o mean_v the_o sacred_a council_n the_o holy_a and_o learned_a father_n and_o the_o different_a society_n of_o christian_n all_o the_o world_n over_o who_o have_v be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n of_o that_o bless_a trinity_n and_o look_v upon_o jesus_n christ_n as_o the_o author_n and_o finisher_n of_o their_o faith_n in_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n and_o much_o less_o in_o the_o foundation_n god_n will_v not_o suffer_v the_o catholic_n church_n to_o err_v have_v i_o say_v that_o it_o have_v be_v a_o reason_n to_o a_o modest_a socinian_n to_o mistrust_v all_o his_o argument_n i_o have_v say_v nothing_o but_o what_o be_v exact_o true_a i_o confess_v i_o be_v too_o modest_a myself_o in_o call_v it_o only_o a_o inducement_n 5._o the_o other_o exception_n be_v against_o a_o assertion_n which_o i_o think_v no_o divine_a in_o the_o world_n will_v have_v dispute_v that_o faith_n and_o reason_n be_v two_o different_a thing_n and_o consequent_o that_o that_o which_o be_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v the_o object_n of_o reason_n he_o call_v this_o p._n 41._o a_o very_a rash_a proposition_n he_o say_v some_o line_n before_o that_o the_o apostle_n teach_v heb._n 11.1_o not_o only_o that_o the_o object_n of_o faith_n and_o reason_n be_v the_o same_o but_o that_o there_o can_v be_v faith_n without_o reason_n and_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o product_n of_o reason_n this_o author_n shall_v have_v consider_v before_o he_o call_v the_o proposition_n rash_a that_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o all_o the_o ancient_n and_o modern_a divine_n and_o that_o tho'_o sometime_o faith_n and_o reason_n be_v conversant_a about_o the_o same_o object_n as_o for_o instance_n in_o the_o existence_n and_o unity_n of_o god_n which_o reason_n consider_v as_o well_o as_o faith_n yet_o for_o all_o that_o their_o object_n be_v different_a and_o even_o in_o this_o very_a case_n reason_n assent_v to_o it_o as_o it_o be_v natural_o know_v and_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v supernatural_o reveal_v the_o place_n of_o the_o apostle_n shall_v not_o have_v be_v mention_v at_o all_o for_o what_o be_v the_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d the_o evidence_n of_o thing_n not_o see_v but_o a_o revelation_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o reason_n can_v reach_v or_o penetrate_v and_o on_o this_o very_a account_n be_v say_v to_o be_v unseen_a and_o be_v that_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d that_o demonstration_n which_o rise_v from_o a_o high_a principle_n be_v different_a from_o and_o have_v a_o great_a certainty_n than_o reason_n but_o what_o this_o author_n say_v that_o there_o can_v be_v no_o faith_n without_o reason_n and_o that_o faith_n be_v the_o product_n of_o reason_n show_v plain_o the_o misfortune_n of_o write_v answer_n in_o haste_n if_o by_o the_o first_o of_o these_o proposition_n he_o mean_v that_o faith_n be_v always_o rational_a and_o that_o reason_n never_o want_v strong_a inducement_n to_o believe_v which_o the_o school_n in_o their_o rugged_a language_n call_v motive_n of_o credibility_n i_o say_v so_o too_o but_o if_o he_o mean_v that_o we_o can_v believe_v except_o we_o have_v a_o clear_a notion_n of_o what_o be_v propose_v to_o our_o belief_n i_o say_v that_o it_o be_v against_o the_o nature_n of_o faith_n which_o offer_v thing_n above_o reason_n and_o expect_v the_o submission_n of_o our_o judgement_n to_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o revelation_n the_o second_o proposition_n that_o faith_n be_v the_o product_n of_o reason_n be_v capable_a of_o a_o tolerable_a sense_n if_o by_o it_o be_v mean_v no_o more_o than_o that_o reason_n be_v a_o introduction_n to_o faith_n but_o if_o by_o it_o be_v mean_v that_o it_o be_v
