by_o the_o doctor_n to_o confute_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o socinian_o about_o the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o as_o sandius_n deny_v the_o divinity_n and_o believe_v the_o personality_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n so_o it_o come_v into_o his_o mind_n that_o perhaps_o by_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v mean_v the_o whole_a kind_n of_o holy_a angel_n or_o spirit_n as_o by_o the_o devil_n and_o

be_v satisfy_v not_o of_o the_o divinity_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n but_o that_o the_o spirit_n be_v one_o person_n as_o the_o arian_n always_o hold_v not_o more_o person_n or_o spirit_n i_o say_v in_o my_o former_a letter_n that_o a_o respondent_fw-la for_o his_o degree_n at_o oxford_n put_v for_o one_o of_o his_o question_n such_o a_o thesis_n against_o the_o socinian_o as_o dr._n wallis_n object_n to_o they_o viz._n that_o they_o prefer_v reason_n above_o scripture_n and_o that_o his_o learned_a antagonist_n tho'_o neither_o then_o nor_o since_o a_o socinian_n make_v it_o appear_v that_o the_o respondent_fw-la have_v not_o read_v the_o book_n of_o the_o socinian_o but_o accuse_v they_o by_o hearsay_n i_o add_v that_o if_o dr._n wallis_n be_v urge_v to_o defend_v his_o charge_n against_o the_o socinian_o i_o doubt_v he_o can_v acquit_v himself_o no_o better_o than_o that_o candidate_n for_o his_o degree_n do_v the_o doctor_n have_v increase_v my_o suspicion_n by_o his_o three_o and_o four_o letter_n for_o i_o can_v believe_v of_o he_o that_o he_o will_v know_o and_o deliberate_o pervert_v the_o word_n of_o author_n long_o since_o dead_a and_o who_o never_o do_v he_o wrong_v by_o word_n or_o deed._n therefore_o i_o suppose_v his_o quotation_n be_v borrow_v from_o s._n maresius_n or_o perhaps_o from_o s._n lubbertus_n who_o care_v not_o what_o he_o say_v of_o any_o adversary_n especial_o of_o a_o remonstrant_a or_o a_o socinian_n but_o be_v this_o whole_a accusation_n of_o socinus_n as_o true_a as_o it_o be_v notorious_o false_a the_o unitarian_n though_o they_o be_v by_o other_o call_v socinian_n do_v not_o think_v themselves_o concern_v in_o it_o for_o they_o do_v not_o profess_v to_o follow_v socinus_n but_o the_o scripture_n if_o socinus_n have_v at_o any_o time_n speak_v erroneous_o or_o unadvised_o or_o hyperbolical_o it_o be_v not_o socinus_n who_o be_v their_o master_n but_o christ_n as_o great_a chillingworth_n somewhere_o say_v the_o bible_n the_o bible_n the_o bible_n be_v our_o both_o rule_n and_o guide_n not_o calvin_n not_o luther_n nor_o socinus_n but_o the_o bible_n i_o be_o come_v now_o within_o sight_n of_o my_o conclusion_n it_o only_o remain_v that_o i_o answer_v brief_o to_o some_o exceptionable_a passage_n and_o incompetent_a answer_n to_o what_o i_o have_v object_v in_o my_o first_o letter_n i_o may_v be_v very_o brief_a because_o the_o doctor_n as_o be_v the_o custom_n of_o eloquent_a man_n and_o orator_n have_v say_v but_o a_o little_a in_o a_o great_a deal_n first_o whereas_o he_o have_v up_o and_o down_o in_o these_o letter_n object_v several_a text_n against_o the_o socinian_n heresy_n of_o but_o one_o god_n and_o in_o defence_n of_o the_o catholic_a and_o orthodox_n doctrine_n of_o three_o god_n as_o to_o those_o text_n which_o he_o have_v only_o cite_v without_o enlarge_n or_o criticise_v upon_o they_o i_o refer_v myself_o to_o the_o explication_n in_o the_o brief_a history_n of_o the_o socinian_o and_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o history_n he_o say_v lett._n 3._o pag._n 42._o that_o dr._n sherlock_n have_v confute_v that_o history_n i_o observe_v that_o the_o orthodox_n writer_n cry_v up_o one_o another_o book_n as_o clear_a victory_n though_o those_o book_n be_v as_o contrary_a to_o one_o another_o as_o they_o be_v to_o the_o socinian_o and_o if_o any_o one_o of_o they_o have_v confute_v the_o socinian_o he_o have_v at_o the_o same_o time_n confute_v all_o his_o own_o party_n and_o even_o holy-mother_n church_n herself_o if_o dr._n sherlock_n have_v confute_v the_o brief_a history_n he_o must_v needs_o too_o have_v confute_v dr._n wallis_n his_o four_o sabellian_n letter_n if_o he_o have_v prove_v that_o there_o be_v three_o infinite_a intelligent_a being_n mind_n and_o spirit_n than_o he_o have_v confute_v those_o that_o say_v the_o trinity_n be_v three_o somewhat_n without_o true_a name_n or_o true_a notion_n three_o capacity_n or_o respect_n three_o name_n or_o title_n of_o god_n three_o modes_n or_o relation_n to_o his_o creature_n namely_o creator_n redeemer_n and_o sanctifier_n and_o if_o dr._n wallis_n have_v prove_v this_o last_o in_o his_o celebrate_a letter_n he_o have_v without_o doubt_n confute_v dr._n sherlock_n who_o assert_n three_o infinite_a spirit_n and_o being_n who_o be_v one_o god_n only_o as_o they_o be_v mutual_o conscious_a or_o know_v and_o feel_v one_o another_o mind_n and_o action_n and_o both_o of_o they_o have_v confute_v mother_n church_n who_o have_v in_o several_a general_n council_n anathematise_v the_o doctrine_n of_o sabellius_n who_o dr._n wallis_n follow_v and_o the_o heresy_n of_o philoponus_n and_o abbat_n joachim_n who_o be_v follow_v by_o dr._n sherlock_n that_o a_o sabellian_n shall_v tell_v a_o tritheist_n he_o have_v confute_v the_o socinian_o be_v such_o a_o compliment_n that_o if_o the_o vindicator_n do_v not_o take_v it_o for_o a_o jeer_n he_o be_v without_o doubt_n so_o much_o a_o gentleman_n as_o by_o way_n of_o requital_n to_o publish_v to_o the_o world_n in_o his_o next_o that_o dr._n wallis_n have_v eternal_o and_o irrefragable_o confute_v the_o neighbour_n and_o the_o neighbour_n friend_n in_o the_o mean_a time_n i_o can_v but_o wonder_n that_o the_o orthodox_n writer_n be_v so_o bad_o agree_v what_o their_o trinity_n be_v that_o they_o have_v nothing_o leave_v in_o common_a among_o they_o but_o only_o the_o word_n trinity_n i_o wonder_v i_o say_v that_o they_o shall_v so_o earnest_o contend_v for_o a_o word_n which_o themselves_o confess_v be_v neither_o find_v in_o scripture_n nor_o be_v know_v to_o first_o and_o pure_a antiquity_n the_o two_o great_a reformer_n luther_n and_o calvin_n be_v not_o so_o much_o
