there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o saviour_n eternal_a divinity_n that_o be_v jar_a or_o dissonant_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n either_o among_o jew_n infidel_n turk_n or_o the_o church_n of_o god_n if_o the_o socinian_n yet_o say_v he_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o because_o he_o can_v apprehend_v it_o what_o remain_v but_o that_o another_o will_v be_v tempt_v to_o number_v he_o with_o the_o last_o sort_n of_o man_n in_o the_o enumeration_n that_o be_v with_o unreasonable_a and_o singular_a heretic_n ix_o the_o conclusion_n a_o caveat_n against_o socinianism_n 1._o to_o the_o laiety_n i_o crave_v leave_n to_o conclude_v with_o some_o serious_a advice_n to_o the_o friend_n of_o our_o own_o church_n both_o the_o laiety_n and_o clergy_n that_o they_o will_v beware_v of_o entangle_v themselves_o in_o the_o socinian_n though_o seem_o silken_a net_n i_o beseech_v they_o to_o consider_v and_o take_v a_o prospect_n of_o the_o consequence_n whether_o it_o be_v now_o brisk_a effort_n obtain_v or_o not_o 1._o suppose_v it_o shall_v not_o prevail_v among_o we_o but_o dwindle_v away_o as_o it_o have_v hither_o to_o do_v bless_a be_v god_n yet_o let_v our_o friend_n of_o the_o laiety_n consider_v the_o danger_n they_o run_v upon_o in_o their_o own_o particular_n by_o tamper_n with_o this_o intricate_a controversy_n and_o tempt_a god_n beyond_o their_o call_v methinks_v you_o shall_v have_v deference_n to_o the_o church_n wherein_o you_o be_v bear_v baptise_a and_o educate_v and_o in_o who_o faith_n and_o worship_n you_o may_v undoubted_o be_v save_v especial_o in_o those_o great_a and_o fundamental_a point_n of_o which_o she_o have_v keep_v possession_n ever_o since_o her_o first_o conversion_n to_o christianity_n and_o wherein_o she_o have_v have_v communion_n with_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o all_o age_n methinks_v a_o gentleman_n shall_v have_v a_o reluctancy_n and_o abhor_v from_o novelty_n in_o faith_n and_o a_o religion_n that_o be_v bear_v but_o yesterday_o beside_o by_o pry_v into_o socinian_n book_n you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a many_o point_n of_o our_o establish_a faith_n as_o well_o as_o these_o we_o have_v discourse_v of_o such_o fundamental_a thing_n as_o our_o redemption_n by_o christ_n santification_n by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o nature_n and_o efficacy_n of_o the_o christian_a sacrament_n and_o almost_o every_o thing_n that_o be_v evangelical_n be_v strike_v at_o undermine_v and_o endeavour_v to_o be_v alter_v yea_o utter_o subvert_v by_o socinian_n attack_n and_o if_o you_o like_v not_o as_o i_o know_v you_o do_v not_o anabaptism_n and_o independency_n in_o other_o you_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o meet_v these_o in_o most_o of_o the_o renown_a socinian_n author_n who_o with_o subtlety_n and_o spite_n enough_o endeavour_n to_o ruin_v our_o ecclesiastical_a as_o well_o as_o spiritual_a state_n the_o external_a form_n of_o our_o church_n in_o baptism_n and_o episcopacy_n as_o well_o

for_o faith_n and_o worship_n consider_v then_o what_o tool_n you_o have_v to_o deal_v with_o before_o you_o cut_v your_o finger_n and_o ensnare_v your_o soul_n what_o advantage_n can_v you_o expect_v to_o reap_v by_o these_o intricate_a dispute_n they_o may_v stagger_v unsettle_v disorder_v your_o faith_n distract_v and_o confound_v your_o worship_n of_o which_o you_o may_v repent_v but_o never_o recover_v to_o a_o settle_a and_o comfortable_a state_n as_o it_o be_v before_o i_o have_v no_o more_o to_o add_v here_o but_o to_o tell_v you_o a_o sad_a story_n which_o i_o have_v from_o a_o

admonish_v you_o that_o if_o you_o shall_v be_v so_o unhappy_a as_o to_o suck_v in_o the_o socinian_n venom_n and_o it_o shall_v not_o general_o diffuse_v itself_o as_o i_o hope_v in_o god_n it_o

and_o the_o rather_o because_o some_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v let_v in_o and_o out_o of_o this_o church_n at_o our_o baptism_n and_o death_n only_o with_o the_o single_a creed_n call_v the_o apostle_n and_o be_v therefore_o not_o concern_v in_o the_o faith_n against_o socinus_n sol._n but_o it_o ought_v to_o be_v well_o consider_v that_o we_o be_v baptize_v in_o the_o name_n i._n

of_o the_o very_a same_o creed_n she_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o in_o god_n the_o son_n and_o in_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o when_o we_o be_v catechise_v
