that_o be_v do_v which_o shall_v be_v judge_v most_o christian_n and_o most_o wholesome_a but_o what_o be_v that_o will_v it_o ever_o be_v most_o christian_a and_o most_o wholesome_a to_o dispute_v for_o the_o faith_n against_o heresy_n if_o ever_o it_o will_v be_v so_o why_o be_v it_o not_o so_o now_o if_o this_o never_o will_v be_v christian_n and_o wholesome_a what_o else_o be_v to_o be_v do_v to_o heretic_n in_o fit_a time_n and_o place_n unless_o he_o intend_v to_o physic_v '_o they_o and_o it_o seem_v he_o have_v a_o do_v ready_a prepare_v to_o lay_v 9_o all_o these_o controversy_n to_o a_o eternal_a sleep_n and_o it_o be_v what_o he_o call_v a_o negative_a belief_n a_o pretty_a contradiction_n but_o never_o the_o less_o proper_a cure_n for_o heresy_n the_o project_n be_v this_o as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v understand_v he_o that_o the_o socinian_o shall_v not_o be_v require_v to_o own_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n but_o shall_v so_o far_o agree_v as_o not_o to_o contradict_v they_o nor_o teach_v contrary_a to_o they_o now_o i_o shall_v like_v this_o very_a well_o that_o they_o will_v not_o oppose_v the_o receive_a doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n but_o i_o believe_v he_o know_v some_o little_a clatter_a tongue_n which_o all_o the_o opiate_n he_o have_v can_v never_o lay_v asleep_o and_o have_v he_o remember_v what_o he_o have_v just_a before_o say_v concern_v their_o zeal_n and_o their_o eternal_a dispute_v and_o that_o they_o will_v never_o be_v silent_a he_o will_v never_o have_v propose_v so_o impracticable_a a_o thing_n as_o the_o impose_v silence_n on_o they_o which_o make_v i_o suspect_v that_o he_o intend_v something_o more_o than_o what_o he_o say_v and_o therefore_o to_o prevent_v mistake_n i_o must_v ask_v he_o a_o question_n or_o two_o 1._o whether_o he_o will_v allow_v we_o who_o as_o he_o grant_v be_v in_o possession_n of_o this_o faith_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n to_o keep_v possession_n of_o it_o and_o teach_v explain_v and_o confirm_v it_o to_o our_o people_n we_o will_v answer_v none_o of_o their_o book_n if_o they_o will_v write_v they_o but_o if_o he_o expect_v that_o we_o shall_v say_v nothing_o of_o or_o for_o the_o trinity_n as_o he_o will_v have_v they_o say_v nothing_o against_o it_o we_o must_v beg_v his_o pardon_n we_o do_v not_o think_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n to_o be_v of_o so_o little_a concernment_n as_o to_o be_v part_v with_o or_o bury_v in_o silence_n we_o believe_v christian_a religion_n to_o be_v build_v on_o this_o faith_n and_o therefore_o think_v ourselves_o as_o much_o bound_n to_o preach_v it_o as_o to_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o if_o they_o will_v oppose_v the_o faith_n as_o long_o as_o we_o preach_v it_o we_o can_v have_v no_o truce_n with_o they_o two_o i_o hope_v he_o do_v not_o propose_v this_o negative_a belief_n as_o he_o call_v it_o as_o a_o term_n of_o communion_n that_o though_o we_o know_v they_o deny_v the_o trinity_n and_o the_o incarnation_n yet_o if_o they_o will_v agree_v not_o public_o to_o oppose_v and_o contradict_v this_o faith_n we_o shall_v receive_v they_o to_o our_o communion_n and_o fling_v the_o worship_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n and_o of_o a_o god_n incarnate_a out_o of_o our_o liturgy_n for_o their_o sake_n i_o grant_v there_o may_v be_v such_o thing_n as_o article_n of_o peace_n when_o man_n join_v in_o the_o same_o communion_n notwithstanding_o some_o less_o material_a difference_n while_o the_o substantial_o of_o faith_n and_o worship_n be_v secure_a and_o oblige_v themselves_o not_o to_o disturb_v the_o peace_n of_o the_o church_n with_o less_o dispute_n but_o to_o make_v the_o essential_o of_o faith_n and_o worship_n mere_a article_n of_o peace_n to_o receive_v those_o to_o our_o communion_n who_o deny_v the_o very_a object_n of_o our_o worship_n be_v as_o senseless_a and_o as_o great_a a_o contradiction_n to_o the_o nature_n and_o end_n of_o christian_a communion_n as_o it_o will_v be_v to_o receive_v heathen_n jew_n mahometan_n into_o the_o christian_a church_n by_o virtue_n of_o this_o negative_a belief_n this_o i_o know_v he_o will_v not_o allow_v for_o he_o say_v we_o be_v agree_v in_o the_o other_o part_n of_o our_o common_a christianity_n whereas_o it_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a that_o we_o shall_v agree_v in_o any_o thing_n which_o be_v pure_a christianity_n while_o we_o differ_v in_o the_o fundamental_a doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n the_o own_n or_o deny_v of_o which_o make_v a_o essential_a difference_n in_o religion_n it_o alter_v the_o object_n of_o our_o worship_n as_o much_o as_o the_o worship_n of_o one_o and_o of_o three_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n and_o as_o much_o as_o the_o worship_n of_o a_o god_n incarnate_a and_o of_o a_o deify_v mere_a man_n differ_v it_o alter_v the_o way_n of_o our_o salvation_n as_o much_o as_o faith_n in_o the_o blood_n and_o sacrifice_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o expiate_v our_o sin_n etc._n differ_v from_o believe_v a_o great_a and_o excellent_a prophet_n and_o obey_v his_o law_n it_o alter_v the_o motive_n and_o principle_n of_o our_o obedience_n as_o much_o as_o the_o love_n of_o god_n in_o give_v his_o son_n differ_v from_o his_o goodness_n in_o send_v a_o excellent_a man_n to_o be_v our_o prophet_n and_o

from_o the_o love_n of_o a_o mere_a man_n in_o preach_v the_o gospel_n and_o bear_v testimony_n to_o it_o by_o his_o own_o blood_n it_o change_v the_o hope_n and_o reliance_n of_o sinner_n as_o much_o as_o the_o security_n of_o a_o meritorious_a sacrifice_n offer_v by_o the_o eternal_a son_n of_o god_n for_o the_o expiation_n of_o our_o sin_n differ_v from_o the_o promise_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a

his_o own_o blood_n differ_v from_o the_o intercession_n of_o a_o mere_a though_o of_o a_o excellent_a man_n who_o have_v make_v no_o atonement_n for_o our_o sin_n and_o have_v no_o other_o interest_n in_o god_n than_o what_o a_o innocent_a and_o obedient_a man_n can_v pretend_v to_o it_o be_v easy_a to_o enlarge_v on_o this_o argument_n but_o i_o have_v direct_v in_o the_o margin_n where_o the_o reader_n may_v see_v it_o discourse_v at_o large_a now_o if_o this_o author_n for_o these_o reason_n will_v allow_v we_o to_o instruct_v our_o people_n in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o

in_o the_o next_o place_n he_o take_v sanctuary_n in_o the_o act_n of_o 11._o parliament_n in_o favour_n of_o dissenter_n which_o he_o conceive_v have_v do_v very_o much_o if_o not_o full_a enough_o but_o have_v he_o consider_v how_o severe_a this_o act_n be_v upon_o his_o belove_a socinian_n he_o may_v much_o better_o have_v let_v it_o alone_o for_o no_o dissenter_n have_v any_o benefit_n by_o that_o act_n who_o do_v not_o renounce_v socinianism_n but_o he_o pretend_v to_o give_v account_n of_o act_n of_o parliament_n as_o he_o do_v of_o other_o book_n without_o see_v they_o but_o we_o
