plain_o insinuate_v by_o the_o text_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o chapter_n i_o shall_v trace_v no_o further_o into_o these_o scripture-proof_n because_o i_o have_v no_o further_o occasion_n from_o the_o doctor_n and_o as_o for_o any_o body_n else_o i_o dare_v presume_v to_o say_v whatever_o the_o doctor_n have_v do_v in_o take_v it_o for_o grant_v that_o the_o trinity_n be_v sufficient_o prove_v by_o scripture_n that_o there_o be_v unitarian_n book_n even_o late_o extant_a that_o have_v sufficient_o evidence_v the_o falsity_n of_o his_o pretence_n and_o that_o not_o by_o mean_n of_o wrest_v and_o force_v of_o scripture-word_n and_o phrase_n but_o in_o construe_v they_o with_o all_o the_o integrity_n and_o fairness_n imaginable_a and_o the_o reason_n i_o have_v not_o trouble_v myself_o to_o repeat_v those_o thing_n over_o again_o be_v that_o i_o be_o ashamed_a to_o see_v they_o have_v so_o little_a effect_n upon_o our_o adversary_n for_o to_o what_o end_n be_v it_o to_o run_v out_o into_o nice_a controversy_n when_o man_n have_v the_o face_n to_o deny_v the_o most_o manifest_a first_o principle_n however_o i_o hope_v that_o this_o reign_n and_o tyranny_n of_o blindness_n will_v not_o last_v always_o i_o hope_v in_o time_n we_o shall_v meet_v with_o some_o man_n of_o that_o courage_n and_o sincerity_n as_o may_v countenance_v our_o cause_n and_o rescue_v distress_a truth_n from_o her_o suppressor_n i_o shall_v now_o draw_v towards_o a_o conclusion_n and_o as_o i_o have_v hitherto_o take_v care_n to_o avoid_v the_o error_n of_o my_o adversary_n in_o refute_v they_o so_o i_o now_o shall_v do_v he_o that_o justice_n as_o to_o acknowledge_v he_o write_v with_o a_o charity_n like_o a_o divine_a and_o though_o he_o be_v in_o a_o error_n yet_o it_o be_v with_o so_o much_o softness_n generosity_n and_o charity_n that_o his_o very_a enemy_n can_v rebuke_v he_o for_o want_n of_o it_o i_o can_v say_v whether_o the_o first_o composer_n of_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n be_v of_o his_o mind_n or_o not_o and_o whether_o they_o intend_v the_o damnatory_a sentence_n with_o his_o limitation_n but_o whether_o they_o do_v or_o no_o which_o i_o must_v confess_v i_o be_o very_o apt_a to_o question_v they_o ought_v to_o have_v do_v so_o and_o wherein_o they_o do_v otherwise_o they_o be_v to_o blame_v indeed_o it_o be_v a_o enthusiastic_a doctrine_n to_o damn_v unbaptise_v infant_n the_o invincible_o ignorant_a all_o before_o christ_n fool_n madman_n as_o our_o rigid_a trinitarian_n have_v too_o often_o do_v i_o think_v dr._n wallis_n have_v do_v what_o ought_v ever_o to_o be_v reverence_v in_o short_a the_o doctor_n in_o this_o have_v show_v himself_o so_o good_a a_o man_n that_o methinks_v i_o can_v but_o envy_v his_o party_n that_o he_o be_v against_o we_o but_o it_o may_v be_v question_v possible_o why_o have_v i_o write_v against_o he_o then_o if_o i_o have_v such_o a_o respect_n for_o he_o i_o say_v not_o in_o resentment_n to_o he_o so_o much_o for_o he_o have_v the_o charity_n of_o a_o angel_n but_o least_o that_o other_o rely_v on_o his_o strength_n of_o reason_v shall_v embrace_v his_o argument_n without_o his_o charity_n or_o else_o i_o can_v be_v content_a that_o the_o doctor_n or_o any_o man_n shall_v enjoy_v opinion_n so_o innocent_a to_o themselves_o for_o my_o part_n i_o be_o glad_a to_o hear_v such_o heal_a word_n as_o that_o man_n have_v abuse_v the_o damnatory_a sentence_n as_o that_o there_o be_v no_o anathema_n to_o the_o greek_a church_n or_o the_o sincere_a of_o any_o persuasion_n let_v it_o be_v as_o he_o say_v in_o a_o extraordinary_a way_n or_o as_o he_o please_v in_o short_a the_o principle_n on_o whatever_o it_o be_v ground_v be_v heavenly_a and_o breathe_v the_o true_a method_n to_o peace_n unity_n and_o concord_n whereas_o the_o contrary_a censure_n as_o he_o himself_o excellent_o observe_v be_v enough_o to_o make_v the_o creed_n too_o formidable_a to_o be_v approve_v of_o p._n 21._o three_o letter_n therefore_o without_o examine_v further_o into_o this_o matter_n for_o i_o shall_v never_o discourage_v charity_n and_o therefore_o i_o say_v let_v the_o damnatory_a sentence_n be_v annex_v to_o the_o general_n of_o the_o creed_n or_o otherwise_o for_o it_o shall_v never_o concern_v i_o i_o say_v there_o be_v but_o one_o thing_n herein_o wherein_o i_o have_v reason_n to_o be_v concern_v in_o at_o what_o he_o say_v and_o that_o be_v that_o he_o shall_v tack_v his_o damnatory_a sentence_n to_o a_o explanation_n of_o the_o church_n and_o not_o rather_o to_o the_o scripture_n themselves_o nor_o do_v i_o write_v this_o that_o even_o in_o this_o case_n too_o he_o have_v not_o left_a room_n for_o the_o invincible_o ignorant_a but_o only_o that_o i_o be_o sorry_a to_o see_v he_o so_o much_o to_o countenance_v a_o mere_a humane_a imposition_n in_o foreign_a and_o unscriptural_a word_n as_o trinity_n in_o unity_n whatever_o they_o signify_v plain_o be_v and_o therefore_o hence_o it_o be_v that_o i_o desire_v to_o be_v excuse_v to_o put_v a_o difference_n between_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o shall_v be_v damn_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o he_o that_o
