A38042	Socinianism unmask'd a discourse shewing the unreasonableness of a late writer's opinion concerning the necessity of only one article of Christian faith, and of his other assertions in his late book, entituled, The reasonableness of Christianity as deliver'd in the Scriptures, and in his vindication of it : with a brief reply to another (professed) Socinian writer / by John Edwards ...

more_o and_o my_o end_n be_v this_o to_o hale_v in_o socinianism_n after_o a_o new_a manner_n you_o see_v what_o the_o muse_v of_o this_o gentleman_n come_v to_o and_o i_o be_v so_o unhappy_a a_o man_n as_o to_o find_v it_o out_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o and_o to_o discover_v it_o to_o the_o world_n in_o a_o late_a discourse_n which_o i_o publish_v and_o thereby_o i_o have_v extreme_o exasperate_v this_o new_a undertaker_n and_o his_o adherent_n i_o do_v not_o wonder_v at_o it_o for_o now_o their_o intrigue_n be_v lay_v open_a their_o racovian_a plot_n be_v detect_v and_o all_o their_o measure_n be_v thereby_o break_v but_o to_o keep_v up_o their_o heart_n a_o vindication_n as_o it_o be_v call_v of_o this_o treachery_n be_v publish_v by_o he_o who_o be_v appoint_v to_o be_v the_o chief_a tool_n in_o this_o work_n here_o he_o make_v it_o his_o business_n to_o defend_v his_o new_a paradox_n and_o to_o shore_v his_o notion_n up_o again_o with_o some_o crazy_a prop_n throughout_o the_o whole_a he_o be_v please_v to_o criticise_v with_o some_o magisterialness_n and_o pertness_n on_o the_o reflection_n which_o i_o make_v on_o his_o book_n and_o now_o it_o be_v my_o turn_n again_o to_o be_v critic_n and_o i_o shall_v discharge_v the_o task_n with_o all_o impartiality_n and_o integrity_n it_o be_v true_a there_o be_v nothing_o of_o any_o moment_n nothing_o weighty_a and_o argumentative_a in_o what_o he_o have_v offer_v and_o therefore_o some_o in_o who_o judgement_n i_o can_v confide_v will_v have_v prevail_v with_o i_o to_o add_v no_o more_o on_o this_o subject_a which_o they_o be_v persuade_v i_o have_v before_o sufficient_o clear_v but_o partly_o to_o show_v somewhat_o further_o the_o great_a danger_n and_o mischief_n of_o this_o writer_n

the_o account_n of_o his_o petty_a objection_n but_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o these_o person_n i_o reassume_v this_o argument_n and_o partly_o to_o lay_v open_a the_o wilful_a mistake_v and_o gross_a

have_v once_o again_o undertake_v to_o employ_v the_o press_n upon_o this_o occasion_n but_o the_o chief_a and_o principal_a design_n as_o well_o as_o motive_n of_o my_o appear_v again_o in_o this_o
