complaint_n of_o mr._n g._n against_o the_o bishop_n be_v i_o need_v not_o stand_v to_o prove_v but_o i_o appeal_v to_o the_o reader_n whether_o my_o censure_n be_v not_o just_a if_o he_o have_v not_o be_v a_o rank_n socinian_n or_o worse_o he_o will_v not_o when_o he_o pretend_v to_o write_v against_o the_o socinian_o have_v so_o sly_o and_o desperate_o wound_v the_o honour_n of_o the_o chief_a defender_n of_o the_o orthodox_n faith_n indeed_o it_o look_v a_o little_a odd_o that_o they_o shall_v explain_v one_o and_o the_o same_o article_n contradictory_n way_n both_o of_o which_o can_v hardly_o be_v true_a but_o then_o since_o a_o way_n be_v discover_v whereby_o contradictory_n expositor_n may_v both_o firm_o hold_v the_o orthodox_n article_n though_o they_o have_v different_a notion_n of_o it_o i_o can_v wish_v that_o mr._n g._n will_v not_o involve_v not_o not_o the_o arminian_n party_n in_o the_o same_o condemnation_n with_o the_o socinian_o for_o though_o the_o socinian_o also_o will_v agree_v to_o the_o article_n if_o they_o may_v explain_v it_o yet_o they_o mu_o to_o be_v deem_v not_o to_o agree_v to_o the_o article_n unless_o they_o will_v take_v up_o with_o one_o of_o the_o contradictory_n explication_n which_o our_o church_n can_v endure_v for_o i_o trow_v the_o church_n may_v choose_v what_o contradictory_n explication_n she_o will_v endure_v and_o be_v not_o oblige_v to_o endure_v all_o that_o may_v be_v offer_v that_o be_v not_o only_o to_o restrain_v she_o from_o impose_v on_o backward_a believer_n but_o subject_v she_o to_o be_v impose_v on_o by_o other_o which_o be_v prodigious_o unreasonable_a but_o mr._n g._n not_o only_o sly_o intimate_v that_o the_o bishop_n do_v not_o act_v their_o part_n against_o heresy_n have_v a_o arminian_n touch_v thereof_o themselves_o but_o that_o they_o actual_o stop_v the_o course_n of_o justice_n which_o he_o can_v never_o prove_v unless_o by_o the_o argument_n of_o his_o own_o impunity_n who_o so_o bold_o calumniate_v and_o slander_v they_o but_o however_o he_o intimate_v it_o and_o then_o pronounce_v that_o upon_o the_o failure_n of_o the_o bishop_n the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o look_v into_o it_o the_o roman_a clergy_n take_v upon_o themselves_o all_o the_o labour_n of_o convict_v and_o condemn_v heretic_n and_o leave_v the_o magistrate_n no_o trouble_n but_o to_o burn_v they_o but_o mr._n g._n devolve_v the_o whole_a upon_o the_o magistrate_n that_o be_v the_o meaning_n of_o those_o word_n the_o magistrate_n be_v to_o look_v into_o it_o and_o he_o prove_v it_o to_o be_v their_o duty_n because_o it_o be_v very_o just_a that_o every_o man_n hand_n shall_v be_v against_o those_o infidel_n who_o hand_n be_v against_o every_o man._n which_o argument_n be_v so_o happy_o form_v that_o it_o not_o only_o evince_v it_o to_o be_v the_o magistrate_n duty_n to_o burn_v heretic_n but_o it_o also_o prove_v that_o every_o man_n be_v a_o magistrate_n i.e._n every_o man_n that_o contribute_v to_o the_o burn_a of_o heretic_n his_o contribute_v to_o the_o burn_a of_o heretic_n constitute_v he_o a_o magistrate_n but_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v that_o every_o man_n who_o be_v constitute_v a_o magistrate_n by_o his_o own_o authority_n in_o take_v upon_o himself_o to_o persecute_v heretic_n be_v a_o magistrate_n only_a quoad_fw-la hoc_fw-la when_o the_o heretic_n be_v burn_v there_o be_v a_o end_n of_o the_o magistrate_n he_o become_v a_o private_a man_n again_o mr._n g._n will_v not_o do_v so_o extravagant_a a_o thing_n as_o to_o make_v every_o man_n a_o magistrate_n any_o long_a than_o he_o have_v need_n of_o he_o to_o kill_v and_o burn_v but_o what_o if_o the_o lawful_a magistrate_n do_v not_o and_o mr._n g's_o private_a magistrate_n empower_v by_o his_o own_o malice_n and_o ill_a nature_n dare_v not_o defy_v the_o toleration_n and_o push_v on_o the_o burn_a of_o heretic_n what_o then_o what_o then_o why_o then_o let_v they_o both_o look_v to_o it_o he_o bomb_v they_o with_o denunciation_n of_o curse_n and_o judgement_n from_o scripture_n but_o the_o same_o not_o be_v level_v against_o patience_n and_o long-suffering_a against_o brotherly_a love_n and_o charity_n against_o toleration_n of_o opinion_n which_o neither_o blaspheme_n god_n nor_o trouble_v the_o state_n it_o be_v reasonable_o presume_v that_o those_o minatory_a bomb_n will_v neither_o in_o this_o world_n nor_o the_o next_o endamage_v the_o king_n or_o the_o parliament_n who_o have_v enact_v no_o sanguinary_a law_n this_o last_o session_n neither_o against_o jew_n turk_n nor_o infidel_n no_o nor_o against_o church-nominalists_a socinian_n unitarian_n nor_o real_a tritheistick_n trinitarian_n thus_o i_o have_v examine_v the_o three_o head_n and_o it_o appear_v that_o heresy_n have_v not_o meet_v the_o opposition_n which_o mr._n g._n can_v wish_v in_o the_o last_o place_n i_o will_v examine_v what_o treatment_n he_o judge_v it_o to_o deserve_v now_o here_o he_o

to_o prove_v the_o extremity_n of_o the_o distemper_n whereof_o he_o complain_v he_o tell_v we_o that_o to_o deny_v the_o holy_a trinity_n and_o our_o saviour_n divinity_n be_v as_o much_o as_o in_o
