our_o assurance_n concerning_o the_o person_n and_o grace_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o shall_v we_o not_o have_v the_o boldness_n to_o call_v he_o to_o a_o account_n for_o so_o sacrilegious_a a_o attempt_n with_o those_o then_o who_o love_v the_o lord_n christ_n in_o sincerity_n i_o expect_v no_o blame_n or_o reproach_n for_o what_o i_o have_v endeavour_v in_o this_o kind_n yea_o that_o my_o good_a will_n shall_v find_v acceptance_n with_o they_o especial_o if_o it_o shall_v occasion_v any_o of_o great_a leisure_n and_o ability_n far_o and_o profess_o to_o remark_n more_o of_o the_o corruption_n of_o those_o annotation_n i_o have_v good_a ground_n of_o expectation_n the_o truth_n be_v notwithstanding_o their_o pompous_a show_n and_o appearance_n few_o of_o his_o quotation_n which_o be_v the_o *_o mess._n manner_n of_o the_o man_n be_v at_o all_o to_o his_o purpose_n it_o will_v be_v find_v no_o difficult_a matter_n to_o discuss_v his_o assertion_n and_o dissipate_v his_o conjecture_n for_o his_o be_v a_o papist_n i_o have_v not_o much_o to_o say_v let_v his_o epistle_n publish_v by_o his_o friend_n write_v to_o dionysius_n petavius_n 204._o the_o jesuit_n be_v peruse_v and_o you_o will_v see_v the_o character_n which_o of_o himself_o he_o give_v as_o also_o what_o in_o sundry_a writing_n he_o ascribe_v to_o the_o pope_n 3._o the_o first_o thing_n that_o i_o be_o here_o to_o clear_v be_v the_o meaning_n of_o plain_a word_n i_o say_v that_o grotius_n be_v sometime_o calumniate_v as_o a_o socinian_n sometime_o as_o a_o papist_n and_o as_o if_o he_o have_v learn_v to_o reconcile_v contradictory_n or_o the_o most_o distant_a extreme_n sometime_o as_o both_o of_o they_o together_o and_o here_o i_o be_o tell_v that_o the_o harsh_a censure_n under_o which_o he_o have_v fall_v be_v not_o as_o though_o he_o will_v reconcile_v those_o extreme_n and_o sure_o i_o never_o say_v or_o intimate_v they_o be_v but_o that_o the_o socinian_n and_o popish_a doctrine_n be_v so_o contradictory_a one_o to_o the_o other_o the_o one_o affirm_v the_o other_o express_o deny_v the_o eternal_a divinity_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o christ_n and_o many_o the_o like_a that_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o the_o same_o man_n to_o be_v both_o socinian_n and_o papist_n without_o be_v a_o great_a artificer_n than_o yet_o ever_o be_v in_o the_o world_n one_o that_o have_v learn_v to_o reconcile_v contradictory_n etc._n etc._n i_o e._n if_o i_o must_v far_o construe_v plain_a word_n to_o believe_v together_o thing_n most_o incompatible_a and_o impossible_a to_o be_v believe_v together_o by_o the_o same_o person_n the_o affirmation_n and_o the_o negation_n of_o the_o same_o enunciation_n that_o christ_n be_v and_o be_v not_o eternal_a god_n make_v and_o make_v not_o satisfaction_n for_o our_o sin_n for_o this_o work_n of_o wonder_n above_o what_o either_o nature_n or_o divine_a power_n can_v extend_v to_o be_v necessary_o require_v to_o the_o verify_n of_o that_o part_n of_o the_o calumny_n 4._o the_o second_o be_v his_o state_v the_o jealousy_n as_o far_o as_o it_o be_v own_v by_o he_o viz._n that_o h._n grotius_n be_v in_o doctrinal_n a_o socinian_n he_o yet_o close_v in_o many_o thing_n with_o the_o roman_a interest_n where_o the_o distinction_n be_v make_v between_o doctrinal_n and_o interest_n it_o be_v visible_a 1._o that_o this_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v that_o he_o be_v a_o papist_n for_o it_o be_v the_o doctrine_n only_o such_o be_v that_o of_o the_o pope_n supremacy_n etc._n etc._n which_o can_v give_v any_o man_n that_o denomination_n and_o for_o close_v in_o many_o thing_n with_o the_o roman_a interest_n the_o anabaptist_n and_o other_o such_o sectary_n the_o most_o distant_a from_o popery_n may_v and_o oft_o be_v as_o guilty_a of_o that_o as_o any_o 2._o there_o be_v no_o colour_n for_o this_o suggestion_n as_o far_o as_o grotius_n writing_n give_v we_o to_o judge_v and_o far_o than_o those_o i_o have_v no_o perspective_n to_o examine_v his_o heart_n for_o the_o fomenter_n of_o the_o division_n in_o christendom_n be_v the_o only_a person_n who_o he_o profess_v to_o oppose_v the_o irreconciliabiles_fw-la and_o qui_fw-la aeterna_fw-la cupiunt_fw-la esse_fw-la dissidia_fw-la it_o be_v consequent_a that_o the_o pacificatorie_a interest_n be_v the_o only_a one_o espouse_v by_o he_o and_o pursue_v most_o affectionate_o and_o i_o can_v never_o yet_o discern_v by_o any_o pregnant_a indication_n that_o this_o be_v the_o roman_a interest_n 5._o the_o 3d_o be_v his_o manner_n of_o prove_v his_o thus_o state_a suggestion_n 1._o by_o his_o bare_a affirmation_n without_o the_o least_o tender_a of_o proof_n for_o the_o truth_n of_o it_o 2._o by_o his_o confident_a undoubted_a assurance_n that_o thousand_o of_o the_o same_o persuasion_n with_o the_o socinian_o as_o to_o the_o person_n and_o office_n of_o christ_n do_v to_o this_o day_n live_v in_o the_o outward_a communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n whereas_o 1._o this_o can_v have_v no_o force_n to_o infer_v the_o conclusion_n as_o it_o concern_v grotius_n who_o never_o live_v a_o day_n or_o die_v in_o the_o communion_n of_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n nor_o be_v by_o his_o most_o unkind_a adversary_n affirm_v to_o have_v do_v so_o but_o be_v know_v to_o have_v profess_v his_o willingness_n to_o communicate_v with_o the_o church_n of_o england_n and_o 1_o it_o be_v not_o imaginable_a how_o any_o one_o doctrinal_a socinian_n shall_v after_o his_o have_v espouse_v those_o doctrine_n if_o his_o practice_n be_v consonant_a to_o his_o persuasion_n live_v in_o outward_a communion_n with_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n if_o by_o live_v in_o the_o outward_a communion_n be_v mean_v either_o joy_v in_o the_o office_n or_o receive_v the_o sacrament_n with_o they_o when_o beside_o many_o other_o obstacle_n in_o the_o way_n the_o athanasian_n creed_n and_o the_o like_a the_o very_a *_o 115_o receive_v the_o eucharist_n kneel_v be_v by_o socinus_n define_v to_o be_v idololatrical_a and_o most_o strict_o require_v by_o the_o papist_n from_o every_o communicant_n four_o when_o he_o have_v premise_v his_o profession_n that_o he_o will_v not_o beget_v in_o other_o any_o evil_a surmise_n of_o the_o eternal_a condition_n of_o that_o man_n who_o be_v bless_a be_v god_n out_o of_o the_o reach_n of_o such_o dart_n with_o a_o what_o be_o i_o that_o i_o shall_v judge_v another_o man_n servant_n and_o yet_o add_v in_o the_o next_o word_n he_o be_v fall_v to_o his_o own_o master_n i_o can_v but_o think_v these_o word_n so_o far_o contrary_a to_o his_o profession_n as_o may_v be_v apt_a to_o beget_v evil_a surmise_n in_o other_o the_o foregoing_a word_n be_v evident_o

the_o precedent_n judge_v determine_v it_o and_o to_o which_o the_o subsequent_a stand_v be_v opposite_a what_o can_v this_o regular_o infer_v but_o that_o he_o which_o be_v fall_v to_o his_o master_n be_v fall_v under_o condemnation_n but_o if_o by_o fall_v he_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o death_n as_o i_o yet_o hope_v and_o desire_v the_o reader_n in_o charity_n to_o believe_v he_o do_v i_o hearty_o wish_v he_o will_v hereafter_o be_v more_o careful_a in_o use_v of_o scripture_n style_n in_o a_o sense_n so_o distant_a from_o the_o know_a importance_n of_o it_o in_o scripture_n without_o any_o character_n to_o discriminate_v it_o and_o withal_o that_o when_o he_o speak_v of_o so_o nice_a a_o point_n as_o be_v the_o eternal_a salvation_n of_o one_o that_o be_v dead_a he_o will_v not_o deliver_v his_o mind_n in_o such_o general_a aphorism_n as_o those_o which_o the_o jealousy_n or_o mallce_n of_o any_o man_n may_v interpret_v to_o the_o infer_v the_o most_o sanguinary_a conclusion_n that_o the_o man_n of_o what_o religion_n soever_o if_o they_o be_v drunkard_n proud_a etc._n etc._n shall_v never_o see_v god_n for_o though_o i_o have_v all_o reason_n to_o believe_v that_o this_o
