be_v one_o mr._n edward_n frame_v a_o socinian_n creed_n and_o quote_v his_o author_n for_o every_o article_n a_o unitarian_n writer_n reply_v but_o say_v mr._n edward_n that_o gentleman_n in_o

only_o this_o censure_n it_o be_v higgle_v or_o dodge_v or_o recantation_n now_o if_o a_o ingenuous_a accurate_a and_o ample_a declare_v what_o the_o english_a unitarian_n do_v believe_v be_v higgle_v and_o dodge_v who_o can_v help_v it_o if_o it_o be_v recantation_n methinks_v mr._n edwards_n shall_v have_v rejoice_v that_o his_o labour_n have_v contribute_v to_o win_v soul_n to_o the_o true_a

to_o which_o i_o hope_v to_o add_v some_o far_a proof_n that_o socinianism_n do_v not_o tend_v to_o deism_n i_o will_v now_o offer_v some_o reason_n but_o mr._n edward_n must_v take_v it_o for_o a_o

two_o way_n the_o unitarian_n defend_v their_o doctrine_n from_o the_o imputation_n of_o mischievous_a consequence_n or_o tendency_n 1._o by_o ingenuous_o careful_o and_o large_o explain_v their_o
