proceed_v to_o make_v good_a my_o charge_n against_o the_o socin_n in_o call_v that_o not_o only_o a_o false_a but_o a_o dangerous_a opinion_n of_o they_o which_o make_v justice_n to_o be_v no_o necessary_a or_o essential_a attribute_n in_o god_n but_o a_o matter_n pure_o arbitrary_a and_o contingent_a as_o be_v the_o effect_n only_o of_o his_o free_a will_n 1._o then_o this_o opinion_n i_o say_v be_v false_a and_o impious_a because_o it_o furnish_v we_o with_o such_o a_o idea_n of_o god_n as_o be_v dishonourable_a to_o he_o and_o will_v natural_o lead_v we_o to_o a_o contempt_n of_o he_o because_o it_o teach_v we_o so_o to_o conceive_v of_o god_n as_o of_o one_o that_o be_v not_o necessary_o concern_v in_o the_o action_n of_o man_n and_o the_o affair_n of_o the_o world_n that_o be_v it_o give_v we_o a_o notion_n of_o a_o god_n without_o a_o providence_n for_o if_o there_o be_v a_o providence_n it_o must_v chief_o and_o principal_o be_v employ_v as_o be_v say_v in_o our_o first_o prop._n in_o the_o care_n and_o government_n of_o human_a affair_n there_o can_v be_v no_o government_n without_o law_n no_o law_n without_o the_o sanction_n of_o punishment_n either_o express_v or_o necessary_o employ_v in_o all_o such_o law_n no_o punishment_n without_o justice_n to_o inflict_v it_o and_o consequent_o that_o we_o may_v bring_v both_o end_n of_o our_o sorite_n together_o where_o there_o be_v no_o justice_n there_o be_v no_o providence_n and_o where_o the_o one_o be_v not_o necessary_a the_o other_o be_v not_o so_o too_o therefore_o though_o the_o socinian_o do_v acknowledge_v god_n providence_n and_o that_o he_o do_v actual_o govern_v the_o world_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o take_v off_o the_o charge_n of_o falsehood_n and_o impiety_n from_o this_o position_n of_o they_o because_o thereby_o they_o make_v his_o providence_n to_o be_v a_o contingent_a and_o perfect_o a_o arbitrary_a matter_n you_o may_v notwithstanding_o all_o this_o have_v a_o true_a notion_n of_o god_n and_o do_v he_o no_o wrong_n if_o you_o conceive_v of_o he_o as_o of_o one_o that_o may_v be_v unconcern_v in_o the_o action_n of_o man_n who_o after_o he_o have_v send_v they_o into_o the_o world_n may_v suffer_v they_o to_o live_v as_o they_o please_v every_o man_n do_v that_o which_o be_v right_a in_o his_o own_o eye_n which_o yet_o be_v great_a impiety_n so_o much_o as_o to_o imagine_v forasmuch_o as_o it_o be_v repugnant_a to_o the_o infinite_a perfection_n of_o almighty_a god_n help_v to_o debase_v he_o in_o our_o thought_n to_o weaken_v that_o reverence_n and_o esteem_v which_o arise_v in_o our_o mind_n when_o we_o conceive_v of_o he_o and_o thereby_o lead_v we_o natural_o and_o inevitable_o from_o a_o disesteem_a to_o a_o denial_n of_o he_o so_o that_o what_o at_o first_o i_o call_v a_o dangerous_a i_o be_o now_o afraid_a in_o the_o conclusion_n will_v prove_v to_o be_v a_o atheistical_a assertion_n upon_o which_o account_n
