with_o what_o confidence_n can_v the_o prover_n thus_o impose_v upon_o the_o reader_n be_v there_o not_o one_o word_n of_o answer_n return_v to_o this_o question_n of_o that_o let_v the_o answer_n

be_v not_o clear_o reveal_v in_o scripture_n viz._n the_o trinity_n the_o incarnation_n of_o our_o saviour_n and_o the_o observation_n of_o the_o lord_n day_n and_o of_o these_o the_o answerer_n discourse_v for_o near_o eight_o page_n together_o to_o show_v that_o the_o addresser_n have_v to_o little_a purpose_n object_v against_o they_o so_o that_o if_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n be_v necessary_n and_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v single_v out_o as_o instance_n of_o the_o scripture_n insufficiency_n and_o obscurity_n by_o the_o addresser_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_n be_v defend_v by_o the_o answerer_n then_o sure_o the_o 3_o d_o question_v no_o more_o want_v a_o answer_n than_o the_o prover_n want_v confidence_n that_o deny_v it_o he_o write_v indeed_o as_o if_o the_o question_n be_v bare_o propose_v in_o the_o answer_n and_o he_o have_v use_v some_o art_n to_o confirm_v it_o when_o he_o have_v make_v as_o many_o question_n as_o there_o be_v instance_n viz._n of_o the_o trinity_n incarnation_n and_o the_o lord_n day_n so_o that_o question_v the_o 4_o the_o in_o the_o answer_n be_v question_v the_o 7_o the_o in_o the_o proof_n and_o this_o he_o do_v that_o the_o reader_n if_o he_o have_v not_o the_o answer_n before_o he_o may_v not_o be_v aware_a of_o his_o falsification_n nor_o suspect_v that_o a_o man_n that_o first_o of_o all_o write_v for_o the_o public_a and_o then_o engage_v to_o set_v down_o the_o question_n in_o the_o order_n of_o the_o answerer_n can_v be_v so_o false_a to_o both_o as_o to_o affirm_v there_o be_v not_o one_o word_n of_o answer_n proof_n q_o 4_o it_o be_v in_o its_o whole_a extent_n this_o by_o what_o text_n of_o scripture_n be_v we_o plain_o teach_v that_o god_n be_v one_o in_o substance_n three_o in_o person_n for_o as_o joh._n 10_o 50._o christ_n say_v i_o and_o my_o father_n be_v one_o so_o 17._o 21._o he_o pray_v that_o all_o believer_n may_v be_v one_o as_o he_o and_o his_o

one._n or_o else_o what_o text_n declare_v the_o three_o person_n to_o be_v one_o by_o identity_n of_o substance_n ans_fw-fr not_o one_o text_n of_o scripture_n to_o give_v we_o the_o dubious_a sense_n of_o the_o two_o in_o question_n and_o yet_o these_o man_n pretend_v to_o clear_a scripture_n for_o each_o fundamental_a point_n the_o answerer_n supply_v this_o want_n of_o scripture_n with_o two_o reason_n the_o first_o be_v this_o of_o the_o three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n it_o be_v say_v they_o be_v one_o but_o of_o the_o three_o that_o bear_v witness_n on_o earth_n they_o

as_o well_o say_v of_o the_o three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n they_o agree_v in_o one_o therefore_o they_o have_v more_o than_o a_o moral_a union_n be_v not_o this_o special_a logic_n will_v not_o this_o way_n of_o argue_v prove_v equal_o that_o the_o believer_n be_v one_o with_o more_o than_o a_o moral_a union_n because_o otherwise_o it_o may_v as_o w●ll_n have_v be_v say_v joh._n 17._o may_v they_o agree_v in_o one_o the_o question_n be_v whether_o this_o second_o clear_a text_n concern_v the_o three_o that_o
