and_o therefore_o those_o very_a schoole-divines_a who_o he_o and_o soto_n do_v refute_v for_o go_v too_o far_o and_o allow_v too_o much_o liberty_n yet_o go_v not_o so_o far_o as_o our_o now_o

learned_a man_n do_v refute_v do_v maintain_v such_o a_o mix_a proposition_n &_o mental_a reservation_n as_o our_o romanist_n do_v strive_v for_o yet_o soto_n say_v that_o he_o have_v read_v no_o schoole-doctor_n who_o allow_v such_o a_o fancy_n as_o adrain_n imagine_v which_o yet_o by_o a_o reservation_n of_o a_o jesuite_n may_v easy_o be_v solue_v and_o sepulueda_n when_o he_o come_v out_o of_o italy_n into_o spain_n think_v it_o strange_a that_o he_o find_v divine_n who_o contrary_a to_o the_o meaning_n of_o all_o the_o ancient_n do_v allow_v that_o opinion_n which_o he_o there_o refute_v and_o therefore_o if_o we_o shall_v say_v that_o the_o divine_n against_o who_o these_o man_n write_v do_v hold_v this_o equivocal_a reservation_n yet_o it_o be_v then_o a_o novel_a opinion_n late_o spring_v up_o such_o as_o soto_n have_v read_v in_o no_o schoole-doctor_n of_o former_a time_n and_o such_o as_o sepulueda_n do_v marvel_n to_o find_v set_v on_o foot_n in_o his_o own_o

learned_a man_n writing_n allege_v before_o that_o schooledoctor_n about_o that_o time_n allow_v and_o give_v liberty_n for_o such_o ambiguity_n as_o in_o opinion_n of_o these_o man_n and_o in_o truth_n the_o word_n can_v not_o bear_v and_o therefore_o their_o interpretation_n be_v force_v &_o violent_a and_o such_o as_o can_v not_o free_v their_o speech_n from_o be_v lie_n this_o without_o further_a deduction_n be_v evident_a by_o the_o word_n before_o cite_v three_o i_o observe_v that_o these_o hard_a and_o harsh_a equivocation_n by_o some_o divine_n then_o allow_v and_o the_o violent_a construction_n that_o they_o make_v of_o the_o word_n be_v then_o new_o take_v up_o and_o be_v unknown_a to_o the_o elder_n and_o more_o judicious_a schoolman_n and_o out_o of_o all_o this_o i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o judgement_n of_o the_o learned_a reader_n whether_o i_o may_v not_o upon_o good_a reason_n infer_v that_o therefore_o in_o all_o probability_n the_o late_a sort_n of_o schooledoctor_n by_o the_o hard_a equivocation_n which_o they_o allow_v do_v give_v occasion_n &_o lay_v ground_n for_o this_o jesuitical_a art_n of_o equivocation_n though_o at_o that_o time_n themselves_o do_v not_o think_v of_o it_o for_o may_v it_o not_o hence_o be_v reasonable_o conceive_v that_o the_o progress_n and_o proceed_n to_o the_o frame_n of_o this_o art_n be_v on_o this_o

case_n and_o that_o therefore_o in_o his_o opinion_n he_o may_v not_o equivocate_v and_o deceive_v we_o and_o if_o he_o promise_v to_o pay_v i_o a_o sum_n of_o money_n how_o can_v i_o tell_v that_o
