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

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
