for_o it_o the_o difference_n that_o be_v among_o we_o as_o to_o these_o point_n be_v possible_o not_o much_o great_a than_o this_o that_o some_o man_n in_o these_o matter_n speak_v more_o clear_o and_o full_o other_o more_o imperfect_o and_o obscure_o some_o man_n convey_v their_o sense_n in_o plain_a and_o proper_a word_n other_o delight_v in_o metaphor_n and_o do_v perhaps_o too_o far_o extend_v the_o figurative_a expression_n of_o scripture_n some_o reason_n more_o close_o and_o upon_o more_o certain_a principle_n other_o possible_o may_v proceed_v upon_o weak_a ground_n and_o misapply_v text_n of_o scripture_n and_o discourse_v more_o loose_o but_o both_o party_n especial_o the_o more_o moderate_a of_o both_o seem_v to_o drive_v at_o much_o what_o the_o same_o thing_n though_o by_o different_a way_n as_o appear_v from_o this_o that_o be_v interrogated_a concern_v the_o consequence_n of_o their_o several_a opinion_n they_o general_o agree_v in_o admit_v or_o reject_v the_o same_o but_o fourthly_a another_o thing_n that_o will_v make_v for_o peace_n be_v this_o never_o to_o charge_n upon_o man_n the_o consequence_n of_o their_o opinion_n when_o they_o express_o disow_v they_o this_o be_v another_o thing_n that_o do_v huge_o tend_v to_o widen_v our_o difference_n and_o to_o exasperate_v man_n spirit_n one_o against_o another_o when_o have_v examine_v some_o opinion_n of_o a_o man_n or_o party_n of_o man_n and_o find_v very_o great_a absurdity_n and_o evil_a consequence_n necessary_o to_o slow_a from_o it_o we_o present_o throw_v all_o those_o into_o the_o dish_n of_o they_o that_o hold_v the_o opinion_n as_o if_o they_o can_v not_o own_o the_o one_o but_o they_o must_v necessary_o own_v the_o other_o whereas_o indeed_o the_o man_n we_o thus_o charge_v may_v be_v so_o innocent_a in_o this_o matter_n that_o they_o do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o dream_n of_o such_o consequence_n or_o if_o they_o do_v they_o will_v be_v so_o far_o from_o own_v they_o that_o they_o will_v abhor_v the_o opinion_n for_o their_o sake_n to_o give_v you_o a_o instance_n or_o two_o in_o this_o matter_n it_o be_v a_o doctrine_n maintain_v by_o some_o that_o god_n will_n be_v the_o rule_n of_o justice_n or_o that_o every_o thing_n be_v therefore_o just_a or_o good_a because_o god_n will_v it_o those_o that_o be_v concern_v to_o oppose_v this_o doctrine_n do_v contend_v that_o if_o this_o doctrine_n be_v true_a it_o will_v necessary_o follow_v that_o no_o man_n can_v have_v any_o certainty_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o any_o one_o proposition_n that_o god_n have_v reveal_v in_o scripture_n grant_v now_o that_o this_o can_v by_o just_a consequence_n be_v make_v out_o yet_o i_o dare_v say_v those_o that_o hold_v the_o aforesaid_a doctrine_n will_v be_v very_o angry_a and_o have_v good_a reason_n so_o to_o be_v if_o they_o be_v tell_v that_o they_o do_v not_o no_o nor_o can_v not_o upon_o their_o principle_n certain_o believe_v the_o scripture_n some_o man_n think_v that_o they_o can_v with_o demonstrative_a evidence_n make_v out_o that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n irrespective_a decree_n do_v in_o its_o consequence_n overthrow_v the_o whole_a gospel_n that_o it_o do_v destroy_v the_o nature_n of_o reward_n and_o punishment_n cut_v the_o very_a sinew_n of_o man_n endeavour_n after_o virtue_n make_v all_o law_n promise_n exhortation_n perfect_o idle_a and_o insignificant_a thing_n and_o render_v god_n the_o most_o unlovely_a be_v in_o the_o world_n now_o suppose_v all_o this_o to_o be_v true_a yet_o it_o will_v be_v a_o most_o unjust_a and_o uncharitable_a thing_n to_o affirm_v of_o any_o that_o believe_v that_o doctrine_n many_o of_o who_o be_v certain_o pious_a and_o good_a man_n that_o they_o do_v maintain_v any_o such_o impious_a and_o blasphemous_a opinion_n as_o those_o that_o be_v now_o mention_v the_o sum_n of_o all_o be_v that_o a_o man_n may_v believe_v a_o proposition_n and_o not_o believe_v all_o that_o follow_v from_o it_o not_o but_o that_o all_o the_o deduction_n from_o a_o proposition_n be_v equal_o true_a and_o equal_o credible_a with_o the_o proposition_n from_o whence_o they_o be_v deduce_v but_o a_o man_n may_v not_o so_o clear_o see_v through_o the_o proposition_n as_o to_o discern_v that_o such_o consequence_n be_v real_o deducible_a from_o it_o so_o that_o we_o be_v at_o no_o hand_n to_o charge_v they_o upon_o he_o unless_o he_o do_v explicit_o own_v they_o if_o this_o rule_n be_v observe_v our_o difference_n will_v not_o make_v so_o great_a a_o noise_n nor_o will_v the_o error_n and_o heterodoxy_n maintain_v among_o we_o appear_v so_o monstrous_a and_o extravagant_a and_o we_o shall_v spare_v a_o great_a many_o hard_a word_n and_o odious_a appellation_n which_o we_o now_o too_o prodigal_o bestow_v upon_o those_o that_o differ_v from_o we_o the_o five_o rule_n be_v to_o abstract_a man_n person_n from_o their_o opinion_n and_o in_o examine_v or_o oppose_v these_o never_o to_o make_v any_o reflection_n upon_o those_o this_o be_v a_o thing_n so_o high_o reasonable_a that_o methinks_v no_o pretender_n to_o ingenuity_n shall_v ever_o need_v to_o be_v call_v upon_o to_o observe_v it_o for_o it_o seem_v very_o absurd_a and_o ridiculous_a in_o any_o argument_n to_o meddle_v with_o that_o that_o nothing_o concern_v the_o question_n but_o what_o do_v personal_a reflection_n concern_v the_o cause_n of_o religion_n what_o ever_o it_o may_v be_v to_o the_o reputation_n of_o a_o opinion_n i_o be_o sure_a it_o be_v nothing_o to_o the_o truth_n of_o

while_o man_n will_v forsake_v the_o merit_n of_o the_o cause_n and_o unmanly_a fall_n to_o rail_v and_o disparage_v man_n person_n and_o scrape_v together_o all_o the_o ill_a that_o can_v be_v say_v

will_v do_v well_o to_o consider_v that_o these_o mean_a art_n of_o expose_v man_n person_n to_o discredit_v their_o opinion_n be_v very_o much_o unworthy_a the_o dignity_n of_o their_o profession_n and_o most_o of_o all_o mis-becoming_a the_o sacredness_n and_o venerableness_n of_o the_o truth_n they_o contend_v for_o and_o beside_o no_o cause_n stand_v in_o need_n of_o they_o but_o such_o a_o
