after_o what_o several_a have_v write_v heretofore_o some_o person_n of_o learning_n sound_v in_o the_o doctrinal_a part_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n i.e._n calvinist_n will_v appear_v as_o a_o very_a learned_a and_o able_a prelate_n have_v in_o some_o point_n effectual_o do_v now_o nothing_o can_v be_v more_o sly_a and_o malicious_a than_o this_o particular_a commendation_n of_o a_o single_a

the_o doctrinal_a part_n of_o the_o 39_o article_n he_o say_v they_o have_v not_o appear_v i.e._n they_o have_v be_v want_v to_o their_o duty_n against_o socinianism_n for_o which_o they_o be_v sit_v by_o their_o principle_n how_o unjust_a this_o

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

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
