of_o which_o i_o shall_v speak_v more_o anon_o hitherto_o than_o i_o have_v vindicate_v the_o christian_a doctrine_n of_o man_n salvation_n for_o the_o first_o 4000_o year_n second_o and_o be_v there_o any_o thing_n since_o which_o shall_v make_v it_o more_o offensive_a to_o you_o first_o as_o to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n i_o have_v say_v enough_o in_o my_o treatise_n the_o reason_n of_o christian_a religion_n very_o i_o think_v it_o far_o hard_a to_o confute_v those_o that_o feign_v all_o the_o world_n to_o be_v animate_v by_o god_n as_o the_o universal_a soul_n and_o to_o
