against_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o charge_n he_o do_v not_o say_v it_o be_v not_o his_o design_n though_o it_o be_v very_o iniquitous_a in_o the_o dean_n to_o charge_v he_o with_o it_o 11._o because_o whatever_o his_o intent_n be_v he_o have_v give_v we_o two_o admirable_a reason_n why_o it_o can_v be_v conclude_v from_o his_o book_n the_o first_o be_v that_o other_o as_o well_o as_o socinian_o be_v heterodox_n in_o this_o point_n but_o the_o dean_n and_o dr._n wallis_n write_v only_o against_o socinian_o and_o he_o own_v his_o suit_n be_v chief_o to_o they_o and_o no_o body_n else_o be_v

with_o their_o other_o error_n and_o yet_o i_o believe_v many_o at_o least_o of_o his_o reason_n for_o not_o write_v will_v hold_v as_o well_o in_o other_o point_n as_o in_o this_o of_o the_o
