as_o it_o have_v be_v say_v many_o time_n heretofore_o which_o we_o may_v illustrate_v with_o one_o or_o two_o example_n as_o the_o first_o chapter_n of_o john_n which_o the_o primitive_a church_n who_o write_n and_o doctrine_n be_v descend_v and_o convey_v to_o we_o whereof_o no_o doubt_n but_o it_o have_v together_o with_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n receive_v also_o from_o the_o apostle_n themselves_o the_o true_a meaning_n thereof_o at_o least_o in_o the_o principal_a necessary_a point_n of_o which_o this_o si_fw-mi one_o have_v unanimous_o and_o undoubted_o interpret_v of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n who_o be_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o all_o thing_n as_o the_o substantial_a word_n with_o the_o father_n if_o the_o modern_a socinian_o interpret_v it_o of_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o gospel_n and_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o christ_n to_o the_o end_n that_o they_o may_v deny_v the_o article_n of_o christ_n godhead_n we_o right_o reject_v such_o interpretation_n not_o only_o as_o not_o necessary_a but_o as_o false_a and_o heretical_a not_o that_o it_o be_v only_o contrary_a to_o our_o interpretation_n but_o that_o it_o be_v so_o manifest_o repugnant_a to_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n john_n that_o the_o primitive_a church_n have_v with_o one_o consent_n teach_v the_o contrary_a insomuch_o also_o that_o none_o of_o the_o ancient_a arrian_n or_o photinian_o to_o our_o and_o all_o modern_a socinian_o knowledge_n ever_o thus_o understand_v or_o expound_v it_o but_o socinus_n be_v the_o first_o man_n as_o he_o himself_o must_v confess_v that_o spin_v this_o interpretation_n out_o of_o his_o own_o head_n wherein_o at_o first_o his_o own_o brethren_n have_v partly_o contradict_v he_o yet_o since_o that_o time_n have_v he_o together_o with_o his_o follower_n prefer_v it_o as_o if_o it_o be_v the_o undeniable_a word_n of_o god_n itself_o and_o a_o most_o necessary_a interpretation_n before_o the_o word_n of_o saint_n john_n and_o the_o uniform_a

a_o deep_a important_a and_o necessary_a article_n of_o faith_n as_o it_o be_v account_v not_o only_o by_o we_o but_o the_o true_a primitive_a church_n and_o the_o word_n of_o god_n itself_o on_o the_o other_o side_n if_o they_o in_o such_o profound_a and_o incomprehensible_a mystery_n do_v adhere_v positive_o and_o close_o without_o mutilation_n and_o contention_n to_o the_o word_n of_o the_o scripture_n nor_o add_v thereunto_o their_o own_o interpretation_n and_o inference_n of_o their_o reason_n beyond_o and_o against_o the_o article_n of_o faith_n we_o shall_v then_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o judge_v they_o so_o sharp_o though_o they_o will_v not_o receive_v or_o use_v all_o our_o exposition_n or_o humane_a expression_n likewise_o when_o socinus_n and_o his_o follower_n do_v wrest_v and_o pervert_v so_o many_o manifest_a place_n of_o the_o scripture_n which_o speak_v of_o christ_n death_n that_o he_o die_v for_o the_o propitiation_n satisfaction_n and_o remission_n of_o our_o sin_n to_o this_o sense_n as_o if_o he_o have_v not_o appease_v god_n wrath_n against_o we_o or_o which_o be_v as_o much_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o appease_v god_n wrath_n or_o purchase_v propitiation_n and_o forgiveness_n but_o that_o he_o die_v mere_o to_o this_o end_n that_o he_o may_v by_o his_o doctrine_n and_o example_n convert_v we_o from_o our_o sin_n to_o god_n and_o to_o pacify_v our_o heart_n towards_o he_o and_o account_v their_o own_o interpretation_n as_o worthy_a and_o necessary_a as_o god_n word_n itself_o so_o that_o they_o grievous_o slight_a and_o revile_v the_o doctrine_n concern_v the_o reconciliation_n of_o god_n wrath_n against_o we_o and_o the_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n which_o nevertheless_o be_v so_o manifest_o and_o evident_o teach_v
