inconsistent_a the_o religion_n of_o god_n nature_n and_o of_o his_o gospel_n be_v this_o be_v that_o knowledge_n of_o god_n these_o man_n mr._n s._n and_o his_o club_n glory_v in_o as_o contain_v

will_v doubt_v whether_o this_o new_a religion_n deserve_v that_o character_n which_o the_o learned_a dr._n arrowsmith_n give_v of_o it_o and_o the_o man_n that_o be_v of_o that_o religion_n deserve_v that_o sharp_a censure_n which_o the_o learned_a grotius_n give_v of_o they_o in_o the_o passage_n quote_v in_o the_o title-page_n which_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o the_o unlearned_a reader_n it_o may_v not_o be_v amiss_o to_o translate_v in_o socinianism_n which_o not_o undeserved_o be_v call_v a_o more_o refine_a mahometanism_n hell_n and_o irreligion_n open_v their_o mouth_n wide_a so_o arrowsmith_n the_o socinian_o i_o think_v unworthy_a not_o only_o of_o the_o name_n of_o christian_n but_o even_o of_o heretic_n they_o retain_v the_o name_n of_o christianity_n but_o they_o destroy_v the_o thing_n that_o bear_v that_o name_n therefore_o i_o judge_v they_o differ_v very_o little_a from_o mahometan_n who_o themselves_o do_v not_o speak_v evil_a of_o jesus_n so_o grotius_n the_o only_a thing_n that_o may_v seem_v want_v to_o brand_v the_o sherlockians_n with_o the_o name_n of_o socinian_o and_o so_o of_o more_o refine_a mahometan_n be_v a_o explicit_a denial_n of_o the_o godhead_n of_o christ_n which_o whether_o they_o be_v not_o in_o a_o good_a forwardness_n for_o let_v the_o reader_n judge_v by_o that_o passage_n no_o man_n can_v believe_v in_o christ_n till_o he_o come_v that_o be_v can_v not_o believe_v any_o thing_n upon_o his_o authority_n p._n 247._o it_o be_v a_o question_n which_o for_o his_o own_o credit_n sake_n mr._n sherlock_n be_v bind_v one_o will_v think_v to_o answer_v why_o no_o man_n can_v believe_v any_o thing_n upon_o christ_n authority_n till_o he_o come_v the_o only_a reason_n his_o antagonist_n can_v imagine_v be_v because_o christ_n have_v no_o authority_n before_o he_o come_v and_o if_o that_o be_v it_o the_o falsehood_n of_o that_o ground_n be_v evident_a enough_o as_o otherwise_o so_o by_o the_o light_n of_o psal_n 110.1_o and_o mat._n 23.43_o 44_o 45_o compare_v where_o david_n call_v and_o so_o account_v christ_n his_o lord_n before_o he_o come_v and_o consequent_o suppose_v he_o to_o have_v authority_n to_o exact_a belief_n and_o from_o that_o false_a ground_n that_o christ_n have_v no_o authority_n before_o he_o come_v suppose_v it_o yet_o to_o be_v true_a this_o inference_n be_v fair_a that_o he_o be_v not_o pre-existent_a and_o so_o nor_o god_n before_o he_o come_v and_o thence_o another_o that_o he_o have_v no_o such_o authority_n when_o he_o come_v as_o mr._n sherlock_n deny_v he_o before_o he_o come_v that_o be_v no_o primary_n and_o immediate_a divine_a authority_n but_o only_o secondary_a and_o mediate_a that_o be_v the_o authority_n of_o a_o prophet_n the_o belief_n of_o who_o be_v resolve_v
