a_o devil_n create_v man_n mere_o for_o damnation_n or_o will_v you_o have_v he_o damn_v they_o to_o support_v your_o hypothesis_n see_v how_o your_o mystery_n have_v mislead_v you_o sir_n that_o man_n shall_v be_v save_v only_o by_o parrot_v over_o a_o few_o unintelligible_a word_n i_o may_v have_v expect_v this_o from_o some_o ignorant_a sectarist_n but_o i_o never_o think_v a_o a_o

sir_n you_o mistake_v the_o redemption_n of_o christ_n it_o be_v to_o purchase_v we_o a_o new_a covenant_n and_o not_o only_o teach_v we_o a_o new_a faith_n on_o adam_n fall_n we_o change_v our_o

at_o least_o through_o a_o covenant_n to_o be_v fulfil_v can_v you_o blaspheme_v god_n so_o as_o to_o say_v he_o will_v let_v he_o be_v fruitful_a will_v not_o a_o prophet_n be_v able_a to_o

to_o obey_v his_o excellent_a precept_n to_o conduct_v we_o through_o the_o second_o covenant_n the_o law_n of_o nature_n to_o perfection_n but_o where_o can_v be_v the_o necessity_n 〈◊〉_d this_o

implicit_a faith_n fit_a for_o paganism_n than_o christianity_n no_o your_o uncharitableness_n can_v but_o blemish_v you_o even_o among_o your_o own_o friend_n indeed_o the_o predestinarian_a do_v

of_o the_o wilful_o ignorant_a and_o perverse_a you_o have_v leave_v some_o colour_n for_o your_o censure_n to_o be_v true_a and_o yet_o even_o then_o be_v i_o in_o your_o case_n i_o shall_v be_v very_o unwilling_a to_o fling_v the_o first_o stone_n especial_o since_o christ_n have_v tell_v we_o as_o we_o judge_v we_o shall_v be_v judge_v i_o have_v rather_o let_v man_n be_v guilty_a and_o

as_o you_o reflect_v page_n 25._o i_o add_v also_o that_o a_o particular_a faith_n of_o mercy_n through_o christ_n be_v necessary_a where_o offer_v with_o conviction_n but_o whatever_o you_o do_v or_o say_v god_n will_v never_o require_v consent_n where_o he_o have_v not_o give_v evidence_n enough_o and_o what_o be_v it_o to_o i_o if_o it_o can_v be_v have_v in_o a_o cause_n if_o i_o can_v come_v at_o it_o to_o these_o may_v be_v also_o add_v by_o consent_n the_o apostle_n creed_n or_o any_o other_o so_o it_o be_v not_o enforce_v but_o for_o your_o nice_a and_o speculative_a creed_n they_o

sir_n by_o your_o own_o reason_v it_o be_v popery_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o catholic_n church_n by_o its_o multitude_n page_n 36._o so_o remember_v it_o be_v our_o heat_n magnify_v our_o zeal_n in_o

yet_o you_o have_v give_v i_o occasion_n to_o oppose_v you_o as_o popular_a and_o though_o i_o be_o cautious_a yet_o truth_n bid_v i_o not_o fear_v whether_o your_o mystery_n prove_v true_a but_o

that_o be_v that_o you_o do_v not_o at_o every_o turn_n like_o the_o papist_n cap_n heretic_n and_o repeat_v catalogue_n of_o heresy_n as_o you_o be_v apt_a to_o do_v page_z 107._o you_o be_v a_o

indeed_o we_o have_v not_o your_o breath_n of_o the_o populace_n to_o encourage_v we_o into_o large_a and_o fair_a volume_n but_o i_o hope_v we_o have_v truth_n far_o better_a to_o recommend_v we_o to_o the_o sincere_a i_o hope_v sir_n too_o you_o see_v we_o do_v not_o arrogate_v infinite_a knowledge_n as_o you_o asperse_v we_o page_n 5._o but_o vindicate_v a_o truth_n clear_a as_o the_o day_n indeed_o it_o be_v plain_a the_o first_o commandment_n except_o to_o exclude_v person_n be_v nonsense_n and_o who_o in_o this_o case_n must_v bear_v the_o reflection_n you_o or_o god_n sure_o we_o must_v acquit_v god_n and_o if_o we_o do_v our_o faith_n must_v fling_v you_o into_o all_o the_o absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n of_o transubstantion_n the_o case_n be_v not_o whether_o in_o idea_n there_o may_v not_o be_v three_o self-conscious_a coequal_a being_n but_o whether_o a_o interpreter_n of_o the_o first_o commandment_n can_v justify_v such_o a_o thing_n and_o that_o i_o be_o sure_a he_o can_v for_o all_o your_o struggle_v after_o vindication_n without_o absurdity_n and_o nonsense_n but_o you_o will_v say_v here_o be_v some_o colour_n for_o the_o trinity_n and_o what_o be_v there_o not_o then_o as_o much_o sore_a transubstantiation_n this_o be_v plain_a our_o body_n be_v not_o two_o year_n together_o the_o same_o and_o though_o differ_v thus_o twenty_o time_n in_o our_o life_n we_o call_v it_o still_o the_o same_o body_n may_v not_o we_o on_o this_o as_o just_o salve_v transubstantiation_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n be_v able_a to_o dwell_v in_o infinite_a

your_o side_n and_o pray_v show_v i_o half_o so_o strong_a a_o

a_o vindication_n of_o the_o unitarian_n against_o a_o late_a reverend_a author_n on_o the_o trinity_n entrance_n sir_n i_o dare_v not_o call_v you_o adversary_n indeed_o i_o rather_o believe_v we_o may_v be_v friend_n for_o though_o there_o may_v be_v a_o mistake_n between_o we_o yet_o i_o hope_v we_o both_o agree_v in_o a_o sincere_a love_n and_o search_v for_o truth_n and_o in_o what_o we_o differ_v therefore_o i_o shall_v rather_o seek_v to_o melt_v you_o with_o gentleness_n than_o to_o subdue_v you_o with_o opposition_n page_n 150._o you_o tell_v we_o when_o we_o be_v ready_a you_o hope_v to_o hear_v from_o we_o again_o and_o you_o see_v you_o have_v your_o desire_n you_o seem_v to_o have_v a_o sincere_a good_a will_n to_o truth_n yourself_o and_o therefore_o you_o will_v be_v the_o less_o surprise_v to_o see_v it_o in_o other_o for_o when_o you_o have_v give_v so_o bold_a a_o challenge_n to_o all_o unitarian_n you_o must_v expect_v that_o we_o have_v but_o little_a respect_n for_o the_o honour_n and_o glory_n of_o god_n if_o we_o do_v not_o answer_v you_o it_o be_v true_a i_o come_v to_o dispute_v you_o and_o be_o no_o socinian_n and_o as_o a_o arrian_n my_o hypothesis_n distort_v your_o argument_n a_o little_a but_o as_o we_o be_v both_o join_v in_o one_o common_a cause_n and_o you_o attempt_v to_o deface_v the_o truth_n of_o both_o so_o you_o must_v think_v we_o expect_v you_o provide_v yourself_o to_o give_v we_o both_o satisfaction_n for_o though_o you_o conquer_v either_o of_o we_o your_o work_n be_v but_o half_n do_v you_o must_v excuse_v i_o therefore_o if_o i_o mind_v not_o your_o socinian_n quarrel_n but_o leave_v they_o to_o themselves_o divert_v your_o argument_n a_o little_a and_o bring_v in_o a_o three_o hypothesis_n you_o shall_v see_v i_o will_v deal_v fair_o with_o you_o state_z the_o matter_n true_o and_o proceed_v sincere_o and_o clear_o whether_o you_o shall_v think_v yourself_o oblige_v to_o reply_v to_o i_o or_o not_o upon_o it_o be_v not_o my_o care_n if_o i_o can_v but_o rescue_v the_o honour_n of_o god_n and_o his_o unity_n by_o it_o i_o be_o satisfy_v method_n it_o can_v be_v expect_v therefore_o but_o that_o i_o have_v alter_v your_o method_n but_o yet_o you_o shall_v see_v withal_o that_o i_o have_v just_o collect_v all_o your_o scatter_a reason_n together_o and_o deal_v faithful_o with_o you_o and_o though_o the_o change_n of_o the_o hypothesis_n necessitate_v this_o yet_o in_o lieu_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v present_v you_o with_o a_o method_n both_o short_a and_o clear_a to_o recompense_v it_o it_o be_v plain_a large_a volume_n destroy_v the_o edge_n of_o reason_v and_o the_o vigour_n of_o sense_n be_v lose_v in_o the_o multitude_n of_o word_n i_o have_v choose_v therefore_o rather_o to_o be_v short_a and_o sinewy_a than_o tedious_a and_o loose_a if_o the_o foundation_n reason_v be_v bad_a corollary_n fall_v of_o course_n and_o therefore_o my_o chief_a care_n shall_v be_v whether_o your_o lead_n and_o groundwork_n principle_n be_v strong_a and_o to_o the_o purpose_n or_o not_o i_o thank_v god_n i_o do_v not_o see_v my_o cause_n so_o weak_a as_o to_o fly_v to_o colour_n or_o that_o i_o shall_v use_v undue_a art_n for_o a_o shelter_n and_o therefore_o if_o i_o have_v omit_v any_o thing_n material_a i_o protest_v before_o the_o almighty_a it_o have_v not_o be_v wilful_a and_o if_o i_o have_v any_o where_o reprove_v you_o as_o god_n be_v my_o witness_n have_v be_v where_o truth_n have_v necessitate_v and_o force_v i_o and_o if_o i_o have_v wrong_v you_o i_o as_o hearty_o beg_v your_o pardon_n in_o short_a i_o have_v endeavour_v with_o the_o most_o serious_a respect_n and_o the_o great_a christian_a charity_n and_o meekness_n to_o show_v you_o where_o you_o have_v err_v indeed_o i_o have_v not_o spare_v to_o advise_v and_o reprove_v you_o where_o i_o ought_v but_o if_o i_o have_v run_v that_o liberty_n into_o a_o extreme_a or_o be_v faulty_a in_o any_o

so_o soon_o but_o not_o to_o offend_v you_o sir_n the_o reason_n be_v obvious_a though_o fallacy_n be_v difficult_a and_o to_o be_v study_v yet_o truth_n be_v natural_a and_o they_o be_v easy_o answer_v advice_n 1._o boast_v but_o before_o i_o proceed_v further_o i_o see_v a_o necessity_n sir_n to_o advise_v you_o of_o two_o fault_n boast_v and_o uncharitableness_n not_o that_o i_o can_v
