down_o gen._n 20.21_o and_o he_o tell_v we_o there_o be_v but_o 18_o verse_n in_o that_o chapter_n but_o a_o man_n of_o common_a ingenuity_n will_v suspect_v a_o error_n in_o the_o press_n in_o such_o a_o case_n and_o if_o he_o have_v please_v to_o have_v look_v on_o gen._n 28.21_o he_o may_v have_v have_v find_v 22_o verse_n and_o the_o word_n in_o the_o 21._o therefore_o say_v he_o so_o much_o for_o chaldee_n and_o cabala_n despise_v by_o all_o learned_a man_n jew_n as_o well_o as_o christian_n and_o never_o use_v but_o when_o the_o people_n be_v to_o be_v gull_v with_o noisy_a nothing_o one_o will_v hardly_o think_v it_o possible_a such_o mean_a stuff_n as_o this_o shall_v pass_v for_o a_o answer_n among_o any_o that_o pretend_v to_o sense_n or_o knowledge_n for_o how_o can_v he_o deny_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o chaldee_n paraphra_v when_o philo_n the_o alexandrian_a jew_n concur_v in_o that_o interpretation_n as_o be_v evident_a by_o multitude_n of_o place_n in_o he_o do_v i_o not_o express_o mention_v his_o testimony_n as_o concur_v with_o the_o other_o why_o not_o a_o word_n say_v to_o it_o do_v i_o not_o add_v the_o consent_n of_o eusebius_n concern_v the_o jew_n own_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o messiah_n till_o they_o fall_v off_o from_o it_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o christian_n and_o be_v these_o but_o noisy_a nothing_o to_o gull_v people_n with_o let_v what_o will_v become_v of_o the_o dispute_n between_o the_o pharisaical_a jew_n and_o the_o karaite_n those_o who_o know_v any_o thing_n of_o these_o matter_n do_v know_v that_o i_o go_v upon_o other_o ground_n viz._n whether_o the_o israelite_n do_v receive_v from_o god_n a_o oral_a law_n which_o they_o be_v bind_v to_o observe_v as_o much_o as_o the_o write_a law_n and_o to_o interpret_v the_o write_a law_n and_o the_o force_n of_o its_o obligation_n by_o it_o and_o this_o i_o never_o mention_v or_o intend_v to_o plead_v for_o it_o and_o as_o to_o the_o 13_o way_n of_o cabalistical_a interpretation_n i_o look_v on_o they_o as_o groundless_a and_o frivolous_a thing_n but_o the_o thing_n i_o aim_v at_o be_v only_o this_o there_o be_v certain_o place_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n which_o speak_v of_o the_o messiah_n as_o the_o son_n of_o god_n thou_o be_v my_o son_n etc._n etc._n and_o call_v he_o lord_n the_o lord_n say_v unto_o my_o lord_n the_o question_n be_v what_o the_o sense_n of_o these_o place_n be_v and_o how_o they_o be_v to_o be_v apply_v to_o christ_n now_o if_o it_o appear_v that_o the_o most_o ancient_a jew_n do_v understand_v they_o in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o to_o apply_v they_o to_o a_o second_o subsistence_n in_o the_o divinity_n we_o have_v great_a reason_n to_o follow_v that_o sense_n which_o be_v so_o agreeable_a to_o the_o new_a testament_n and_o about_o this_o we_o have_v no_o manner_n of_o reason_n to_o despise_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o ancient_a jew_n and_o especial_o of_o the_o chaldee_n paraphra_v who_o assert_n a_o second_o and_o a_o three_o subsistence_n in_o the_o divinity_n and_o this_o he_o can_v not_o but_o find_v without_o any_o danger_n to_o his_o jaw_n be_v the_o only_a thing_n i_o intend_v the_o next_o thing_n in_o point_n of_o antiquity_n which_o he_o contest_v be_v about_o the_o nazarenes_n that_o name_n i_o say_v be_v at_o first_o common_a to_o all_o christian_n as_o be_v plain_a from_o act._n 24.5_o afterward_o it_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o jewish_a christian_n at_o pella_n and_o decapolis_n and_o to_o such_o as_o admit_v no_o gentile_n to_o their_o communion_n but_o keep_v to_o the_o ceremony_n of_o the_o law_n and_o of_o these_o i_o say_v they_o may_v be_v all_o ebionite_n but_o i_o utter_o deny_v it_o of_o such_o as_o be_v member_n of_o the_o catholic_n christian_n church_n as_o it_o be_v make_v up_o of_o jew_n and_o gentile_n this_o distinction_n he_o call_v a_o pure_a figment_n but_o answer_v not_o one_o of_o the_o reason_n i_o bring_v for_o it_o although_o i_o prove_v from_o uncontrollable_a evidence_n that_o they_o make_v two_o different_a body_n have_v different_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o that_o the_o church_n of_o jerusalem_n do_v hold_v the_o divinity_n and_o pre-existence_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o be_v all_o this_o cabala_n too_o and_o only_o to_o be_v use_v when_o people_n be_v to_o be_v gull_v with_o noisy_a nothing_o i._o e._n with_o empty_a pleroma_n and_o silent_a thunderclaps_a the_o alogian_o be_v they_o for_o any_o thing_n i_o know_v in_o all_o respect_n and_o i_o will_v give_v they_o theodotion_n and_o paulus_n samosatenus_fw-la and_o photinus_n but_o i_o think_v not_o much_o to_o their_o comfort_n the_o two_o latter_a be_v most_o certain_o condemn_v by_o the_o christian_a church_n and_o whether_o the_o former_a be_v a_o mere_a jewish_a proselyte_n or_o a_o ebionite_n be_v not_o worth_a contend_v about_o since_o s._n jerom_n make_v he_o to_o translate_v the_o place_n about_o our_o saviour_n like_o a_o jew_n and_o aquila_n like_o a_o christian_a which_o show_v how_o mean_a a_o opinion_n he_o have_v of_o his_o sincerity_n i_o prove_v the_o condemn_a paulus_n samosatenus_fw-la while_o they_o be_v under_o the_o power_n of_o zenobia_n to_o be_v a_o plain_a evidence_n of_o the_o sense_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n against_o his_o doctrine_n at_o a_o time_n when_o no_o interest_n can_v be_v suppose_v to_o sway_v they_o to_o this_o he_o give_v a_o twofold_a answer_n 1._o that_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v false_a that_o they_o be_v then_o under_o the_o power_n of_o zenobia_n but_o how_o can_v we_o be_v sure_a it_o be_v false_a when_o i_o bring_v proof_n it_o be_v true_a and_o he_o answer_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o it_o but_o it_o seem_v all_o be_v cabala_n and_o noisy_a nothing_o that_o stand_v in_o his_o way_n 2._o he_o say_v they_o be_v all_o heretic_n a_o very_a short_a answer_n but_o how_o be_v this_o prove_v for_o a_o little_a proof_n look_v well_o sometime_o and_o a_o man_n must_v not_o always_o say_v be_v sure_a it_o be_v so_o well_o here_o be_v a_o plain_a proof_n they_o differ_v from_o the_o council_n of_o nice_a about_o homoousios_fw-la but_o i_o have_v before_o give_v a_o full_a answer_n to_o that_o p._n 42._o to_o which_o he_o give_v not_o the_o least_o reply_n viz._n that_o they_o take_v it_o in_o two_o different_a sense_n as_o to_o lucian_n i_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o reader_n judgement_n if_o he_o compare_v what_o i_o have_v say_v and_o what_o he_o answer_v together_o and_o whether_o he_o think_v it_o probable_a that_o the_o arian_n shall_v forge_v a_o creed_n under_o his_o name_n at_o antioch_n if_o he_o continue_v in_o the_o doctrine_n of_o paulus_n samosatenus_fw-la which_o be_v contrary_a to_o it_o this_o be_v all_o he_o say_v that_o seem_v considerable_a in_o point_n of_o antiquity_n and_o whether_o he_o have_v say_v any_o thing_n real_o considerable_a about_o it_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_n come_v we_o now_o to_o the_o point_n of_o scripture_n which_o be_v the_o main_a point_n in_o the_o case_n for_o i_o have_v declare_v p._n 112._o that_o our_o faith_n as_o to_o the_o trinity_n be_v build_v upon_o that_o and_o that_o there_o be_v many_o place_n of_o scripture_n of_o which_o no_o tolerable_a sense_n can_v be_v give_v without_o it_o and_o therefore_o i_o examine_v the_o sense_n the_o unitarian_n give_v of_o the_o most_o remarkable_a place_n and_o show_v the_o weakness_n and_o inconsistency_n of_o it_o and_o then_o in_o a_o entire_a chapter_n prove_v our_o doctrine_n from_o the_o form_n of_o baptism_n deliver_v by_o our_o saviour_n as_o it_o be_v always_o understand_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n this_o i_o think_v be_v a_o very_a plain_a and_o easy_a method_n of_o prove_v our_o doctrine_n and_o what_o now_o say_v our_o vnitarian_n to_o all_o this_o true_o i_o have_v meet_v with_o few_o answer_n like_o it_o in_o short_a he_o say_v that_o for_o his_o part_n he_o be_v enough_o persuade_v without_o further_a argue_v the_o matter_n that_o i_o have_v spend_v my_o breath_n against_o a_o rock_n this_o be_v just_a the_o popish_a way_n of_o answer_v by_o infallibility_n and_o super_fw-la hanc_fw-la petram_fw-la but_o in_o neither_o case_n can_v i_o see_v the_o least_o ground_n for_o such_o mighty_a confidence_n alas_o for_o they_o they_o say_v that_o if_o we_o write_v against_o their_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n they_o be_v not_o at_o leisure_n to_o wipe_v off_o every_o small_a soil_n that_o may_v happen_v to_o be_v scatter_v in_o their_o book_n not_o at_o leisure_n whence_o have_v come_v all_o those_o swarm_n of_o pestilent_a book_n which_o have_v come_v abroad_o of_o late_a year_n among_o we_o to_o spread_v their_o infectious_a doctrine_n over_o the_o nation_n and_o now_o be_v they_o not_o at_o leisure_n to_o defend_v they_o and_o
