church_n ascribe_v this_o creed_n to_o the_o apostle_n so_o it_o suit_v none_o but_o the_o vnitarian_n doctrine_n as_o assert_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o father_n only_o and_o many_o of_o our_o own_o writer_n affirm_v that_o it_o contain_v all_o the_o credenda_fw-la necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o the_o decalogue_n do_v the_o agenda_fw-la whence_o it_o follow_v either_o 1._o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n divinity_n be_v not_o know_v in_o the_o apostle_n time_n or_o 2._o that_o the_o apostle_n have_v give_v we_o a_o imperfect_a rule_n of_o faith_n or_o 3._o that_o the_o belief_n of_o this_o doctrine_n be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n whence_o we_o must_v either_o deny_v this_o creed_n to_o be_v they_o and_o thereby_o set_v up_o our_o private_a light_n in_o opposition_n to_o the_o church_n and_o thence_o fall_v under_o that_o lash_n which_o we_o have_v lay_v upon_o dissenter_n or_o grant_v that_o this_o apostolical_a rule_n be_v want_v in_o some_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n or_o else_o yield_v that_o this_o doctrine_n if_o true_a be_v yet_o of_o no_o such_o moment_n all_o which_o absurdity_n will_v be_v avoid_v only_o by_o intitul_a
