but_o it_o be_v upon_o a_o diligent_a consideration_n of_o the_o utmost_a i_o can_v find_v be_v say_v by_o their_o best_a writer_n that_o i_o so_o long_o since_o satisfy_v myself_o that_o if_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n be_v to_o be_v our_o rule_n of_o faith_n they_o be_v extreme_o mistake_v indeed_o our_o unitarian_n as_o they_o call_v themselves_o seem_v to_o go_v another_o way_n

they_o say_v 12._o that_o the_o unitarian_n never_o deny_v as_o i_o fancy_n that_o jesus_n christ_n make_v himself_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n for_o expiation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n if_o this_o be_v true_a i_o confess_v i_o have_v mistake_v they_o but_o if_o the_o contrary_n prove_v very_o true_a from_o their_o own_o write_n what_o do_v these_o man_n deserve_v for_o deny_v that_o which_o they_o know_v to_o be_v true_a for_o it_o be_v hardly_o possible_a to_o suppose_v such_o bold_a undertaker_n as_o they_o be_v shall_v be_v ignorant_a that_o socinus_n absolute_o deny_v that_o christ_n make_v himself_o a_o voluntary_a sacrifice_n for_o expiation_n of_o the_o sin_n of_o mankind_n for_o in_o his_o answer_n to_o volanus_fw-la he_o say_v 391._o that_o he_o and_o most_o other_o be_v great_o mistake_v when_o they_o say_v that_o christ_n offer_v up_o himself_o to_o god_n when_o his_o blood_n be_v shed_v upon_o the_o cross_n and_o he_o positive_o affirm_v that_o the_o sacrifice_n which_o christ_n offer_v be_v not_o upon_o the_o cross_n but_o in_o heaven_n these_o passage_n give_v great_a offence_n to_o one_o niemojevius_fw-la a_o friend_n of_o he_o who_o in_o his_o first_o epistle_n to_o he_o call_v it_o racou._n a_o horrid_a paradox_n and_o direct_o contrary_a to_o scripture_n and_o wonder_n what_o he_o mean_v to_o write_v so_o confident_o against_o the_o

expiatory_a sacrifice_n of_o christ_n for_o our_o sin_n be_v not_o perform_v on_o the_o cross_n but_o in_o heaven_n niemojevius_fw-la bring_v express_v place_n of_o scripture_n against_o this_o opinion_n and_o say_v 224._o he_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n excuse_v such_o plain_a opposition_n to_o the_o word_n of_o scripture_n socinus_n in_o his_o reply_n persist_v in_o say_v 226._o that_o there_o be_v no_o expiatory_a sacrifice_n for_o sin_n in_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n and_o that_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v consider_v as_o a_o intervening_a condition_n in_o order_n to_o the_o expiation_n in_o heaven_n 254._o 265._o and_o not_o otherwise_o but_o he_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n allow_v any_o proof_n of_o any_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o expiation_n on_o the_o cross._n and_o so_o the_o dispute_v end_v with_o what_o face_n can_v they_o now_o say_v that_o the_o unitarian_n never_o deny_v this_o when_o socinus_n not_o only_o do_v it_o but_o defend_v it_o to_o the_o last_o and_o say_v that_o other_o have_v do_v it_o before_o he_o which_o show_v that_o it_o be_v no_o singular_a opinion_n of_o his_o own_o but_o that_o which_o have_v be_v receive_v among_o the_o unitarian_n before_o

this_o be_v indeed_o a_o wonderful_a proof_n they_o ever_o acknowledge_v it_o as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o racovian_a catechism_n be_v there_o no_o unitarian_n before_o the_o racovian_a

for_o the_o sacrifice_n be_v offer_v in_o heaven_n and_o not_o before_o have_v we_o not_o now_o great_a evidence_n to_o believe_v from_o the_o racovian_a catechism_n that_o jesus_n christ_n make_v
