self-interest_n we_o must_v allow_v they_o to_o be_v good_a witness_n of_o those_o matter_n of_o fact_n which_o happen_v in_o their_o time_n as_o that_o such_o doctrine_n be_v then_o general_o

as_o a_o authority_n over_o we_o but_o when_o the_o ancient_a christian_a writer_n give_v their_o reason_n why_o they_o receive_v such_o opinion_n we_o have_v a_o natural_a right_n of_o examine_v the_o reason_n they_o allege_v and_o if_o we_o will_v act_v like_o man_n we_o ought_v so_o to_o do_v before_o we_o receive_v their_o opinion_n now_o by_o what_o i_o perceive_v in_o the_o late_a

the_o examination_n of_o mankind_n and_o yet_o be_v sensible_a that_o their_o reason_n such_o as_o it_o be_v be_v the_o only_a guide_n god_n have_v give_v they_o as_o to_o the_o three_o great_a point_n afore_o mention_v they_o think_v it_o their_o duty_n to_o examine_v the_o opinion_n of_o other_o thereby_o not_o pretend_v to_o any_o authority_n over_o other_o nor_o conceive_v in_o their_o

though_o they_o own_v themselves_o fallible_a yet_o their_o convocation_n and_o even_o their_o private_a doctor_n will_v confident_o allege_v that_o they_o be_v in_o the_o right_n and_o will_v therefore_o impose_v their_o sense_n of_o scripture_n upon_o other_o so_o that_o a_o man_n must_v not_o write_v or_o speak_v any_o thing_n contrary_a to_o their_o determination_n under_o severe_a

and_o belief_n must_v be_v whole_o submit_v to_o their_o interpretation_n after_o this_o manner_n the_o dean_n of_o st._n paul_n have_v late_o insinuate_v his_o new-fangled_a notion_n of_o a_o real_a

as_o for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o incarnation_n nothing_o can_v be_v plain_o in_o scripture_n than_o that_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v make_v man_n that_o the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n and_o
