i_o make_v no_o doubt_n but_o i_o have_v be_v represent_v to_o you_o in_o very_o hideous_a colour_n while_o my_o adversary_n one_o while_n attribute_n unto_o i_o such_o opinion_n as_o never_o come_v

a_o man_n who_o not_o only_o use_v your_o liberty_n in_o examine_v thing_n common_o receive_v but_o dare_v after_o examination_n to_o reject_v some_o of_o they_o notwithstanding_o their_o commonness_n because_o they_o be_v not_o deliver_v to_o the_o saint_n from_o the_o beginning_n i_o persuade_v myself_o that_o i_o may_v use_v freedom_n without_o offence_n and_o disclose_v my_o judgement_n touch_v

be_v neither_o any_o where_o deliver_v in_o the_o scripture_n nor_o consistent_a with_o reason_n so_o that_o no_o man_n unless_o he_o will_v be_v wise_a above_o what_o be_v write_v and_o above_o what_o be_v reasonable_a can_v accuse_v i_o for_o not_o acknowledge_v such_o a_o mystery_n i_o believe_v also_o that_o god_n anoint_v jesus_n with_o the_o holy_a spirit_n and_o with_o power_n and_o that_o after_o he_o have_v dye_v for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o the_o new-covenant_n god_n raise_v he_o from_o the_o dead_a and_o set_v he_o at_o his_o own_o right_a hand_n in_o the_o heaven_n make_v

reason_n why_o notwithstanding_o all_o these_o glorious_a eulogy_n i_o believe_v he_o not_o to_o be_v the_o most_o high_a god_n be_v first_o because_o it_o be_v contradictious_a to_o say_v the_o son_n of_o the_o most_o high_a god_n be_v the_o very_a most_o high_a god_n for_o than_o he_o will_v of_o necessity_n be_v the_o son_n of_o himself_o second_o because_o christ_n himself_o say_v to_o mary_n
