be_o able_a to_o give_v he_o how_o fair_o and_o brave_o he_o have_v oppose_v any_o thing_n that_o the_o bishop_n have_v say_v or_o rather_o how_o fair_o and_o open_o he_o have_v render_v himself_o contemptible_a be_v now_o high_a time_n to_o consider_v he_o begin_v his_o book_n with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o confidence_n and_o supercilious_a contempt_n that_o he_o have_v two_o thing_n to_o urge_v against_o the_o lord_n bishop_n of_o sarum_n in_o his_o discourse_n on_o the_o divinity_n and_o death_n of_o christ_n 1._o that_o the_o bishop_n very_o defective_o to_o say_v no_o worse_o state_v our_o faith_n and_o doctrine_n in_o the_o article_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n and_o 2._o that_o he_o expose_v the_o father_n under_o the_o same_o and_o worse_a imputation_n 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

plain_a that_o his_o lordship_n believe_v the_o contrary_a by_o what_o he_o have_v urge_v in_o defence_n of_o our_o lord_n divinity_n that_o the_o jew_n never_o object_v idolatry_n to_o the_o christian_n which_o certain_o they_o will_v have_v do_v have_v they_o not_o expect_v their_o messiah_n shall_v be_v god_n nor_o do_v his_o lordship_n assert_v the_o former_a as_o be_v plain_a by_o what_o he_o add_v that_o if_o this_o be_v true_a all_o the_o speculation_n concern_v a_o eternal_a generation_n which_o be_v a_o doctrine_n he_o seem_v every_o where_o to_o maintain_v be_v cut_v off_o in_o the_o strict_a sense_n of_o the_o word_n and_o therefore_o our_o vindicator_n have_v no_o reason_n to_o say_v that_o his_o lordship_n have_v leave_v this_o doctrine_n in_o suspense_n whether_o it_o be_v true_a or_o no._n his_o last_o criticism_n be_v upon_o his_o lordship_n say_v that_o it_o may_v be_v just_o question_v whether_o by_o these_o they_o have_v make_v it_o better_a to_o be_v understand_v or_o more_o firm_o believe_v or_o whether_o other_o have_v not_o take_v advantage_n to_o represent_v these_o subtlety_n as_o dregs_o either_o of_o aeones_n of_o the_o valentinian_o or_o of_o the_o platonic_a notion_n and_o it_o be_v long_o before_o these_o theory_n be_v well_o state_v and_o settle_v it_o be_v no_o wonder_n if_o many_o of_o the_o father_n have_v not_o only_o differ_v from_o one_o another_o but_o even_o from_o themselves_o in_o speak_v upon_o this_o argument_n to_o this_o say_v our_o critic_n after_o he_o have_v empty_v himself_o of_o his_o foul_a language_n which_o he_o every_o where_o abound_v with_o that_o all_o these_o traduce_a theory_n of_o faith_n be_v universal_o profess_v and_o receive_v in_o the_o whole_a church_n of_o god_n and_o have_v but_o a_o very_a few_o adversary_n to_o this_o it_o may_v be_v answer_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n have_v be_v and_o be_v universal_o receive_v nor_o do_v the_o bishop_n deny_v it_o but_o that_o all_o those_o theory_n about_o the_o mode_n and_o the_o explanation_n of_o it_o which_o some_o of_o the_o father_n have_v leave_v we_o be_v not_o may_v be_v very_o easy_o evince_v nor_o do_v i_o think_v it_o be_v any_o great_a blemish_n to_o the_o father_n or_o any_o scandal_n cast_v upon_o their_o authority_n which_o may_v be_v of_o dangerous_a consequence_n to_o the_o searcher_n into_o antiquity_n as_o our_o vindicator_n will_v insinuate_v to_o say_v that_o the_o father_n can_v not_o search_v into_o the_o depth_n of_o that_o mystery_n and_o that_o they_o be_v often_o at_o a_o loss_n in_o their_o explanation_n of_o it_o though_o they_o may_v believe_v it_o as_o firm_o and_o after_o the_o same_o manner_n as_o the_o church_n catholic_n now_o do_v for_o though_o perhaps_o most_o of_o we_o believe_v that_o great_a article_n according_a to_o the_o true_a sense_n of_o the_o church_n yet_o probable_o if_o we_o go_v to_o explain_v it_o we_o shall_v all_o follow_v different_a method_n and_o have_v far_o different_a idea_n from_o each_o other_o which_o may_v serve_v to_o convince_v we_o how_o insufficient_a the_o most_o rational_a and_o think_v of_o we_o be_v to_o form_v any_o distinct_a notion_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v so_o far_o above_o our_o comprehension_n i_o shall_v say_v nothing_o upon_o his_o reflection_n upon_o dr._n burnet_n remark_n upon_o the_o strong-box_n paper_n for_o as_o i_o have_v they_o not_o by_o i_o so_o i_o find_v a_o great_a deal_n of_o reason_n to_o mistrust_v our_o author_n integrity_n in_o every_o one_o of_o his_o quotation_n which_o i_o have_v show_v have_v be_v very_o foul_a and_o unjust_a often_o take_v by_o half_n and_o as_o often_o pervert_v to_o a_o wrong_a sense_n direct_o contrary_a to_o the_o author_n meaning_n and_o now_o it_o may_v be_v ask_v why_o one_o that_o have_v no_o knowledge_n of_o the_o bishop_n no_o more_o than_o from_o his_o work_n or_o of_o mr._n hill_n shall_v engage_v himself_o in_o a_o

a_o indecent_a and_o unchristian_a way_n of_o write_v and_o such_o false_a reason_v as_o the_o pretend_a vindication_n be_v make_v up_o of_o i_o can_v scarce_o believe_v that_o a_o clergyman_n have_v he_o not_o tell_v we_o he_o be_v one_o in_o the_o title_n page_n can_v have_v be_v guilty_a of_o so_o much_o uncharitableness_n as_o i_o every_o where_o find_v in_o his_o book_n and_o i_o must_v confess_v that_o i_o have_v much_o rather_o be_v guilty_a of_o a_o error_n in_o my_o judgement_n than_o offend_v in_o the_o breach_n of_o so_o great_a a_o duty_n which_o be_v so_o express_o lay_v down_o in_o scripture_n and_o which_o ought_v to_o be_v one_o of_o the_o great_a characteristic_n of_o a_o christian_a especial_o of_o those_o who_o be_v to_o instruct_v other_o in_o such_o
