number_n of_o about_o 48._o 1_o that_o the_o true_a god_n be_v not_o call_v in_o scripture_n by_o name_n that_o signify_v his_o eternal_a increated_a essence_n and_o so_o be_v proper_a to_o he_o but_o by_o name_n that_o signify_v only_a god_n dominion_n or_o power_n which_o name_n be_v common_a to_o moses_n and_o other_o governor_n 2_o that_o there_o be_v not_o a_o immediate_a omnipresence_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n wherein_o they_o hold_v say_v j._n cloppenburge_n with_o socinus_n and_o vorstius_n and_o consequent_o they_o deny_v one_o of_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n namely_o his_o immensity_n 3_o god_n do_v not_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n command_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o jew_n but_o external_a act_n not_o reach_v with_o his_o word_n to_o the_o purification_n of_o the_o heart_n nor_o do_v he_o make_v any_o promise_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n in_o the_o covenant_n in_o the_o old_a testament_n nor_o ought_v we_o to_o interpret_v any_o of_o they_o but_o of_o temporal_a thing_n that_o the_o old_a ministry_n of_o the_o ceremonial_a law_n be_v not_o institute_v to_o convince_v conscience_n of_o their_o spiritual_a uncleanness_n and_o typical_o to_o seal_v the_o true_a atonement_n or_o expiation_n 4_o that_o the_o scripture_n do_v no_o where_o clear_o testify_v neither_o do_v it_o seem_v to_o be_v according_a to_o such_o reason_n as_o be_v consentaneous_a to_o truth_n that_o the_o soul_n of_o believer_n go_v out_o of_o the_o body_n be_v present_o take_v up_o to_o christ_n their_o head_n to_o partake_v of_o celestial_a joy_n and_o christian_n may_v state_n

that_o john_n the_o baptist_n be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o the_o minister_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n or_o doctor_n and_o teacher_n of_o evangelicall_n righteousness_n but_o of_o legal_a note_v

that_o the_o one_o only_a per_fw-la son_n of_o the_o father_n be_v understand_v and_o acknowledge_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n and_o thus_o john_n cloppenburge_n d.d._n and_o professor_n at_o the_o
