critic_n be_v i_o be_o sure_a neither_o he_o nor_o they_o have_v any_o great_a reason_n to_o boast_v of_o their_o skill_n in_o criticism_n for_o i_o will_v fain_o know_v what_o those_o rule_n of_o

etc._n he_o desire_v to_o know_v the_o reason_n upon_o which_o this_o decree_n be_v ground_v which_o he_o say_v in_o the_o conclusion_n of_o his_o examination_n p._n 46._o have_v much_o better_o have_v be_v think_v on_o at_o first_o and_o then_o we_o shall_v have_v escape_v this_o decree_n intimate_v thereby_o what_o he_o have_v in_o broad_a word_n express_v before_o that_o it_o be_v a_o rash_a injudicious_a censure_n neither_o manage_v with_o consideration_n nor_o support_v by_o any_o good_a reason_n i_o must_v confess_v for_o my_o own_o part_n i_o do_v not_o see_v any_o just_a ground_n why_o we_o shall_v comply_v with_o this_o examiner_n expectation_n for_o reason_n have_v already_o be_v offer_v by_o the_o learned_a animadverter_n and_o those_o pen_v with_o such_o a_o strength_n and_o clearness_n as_o be_v peculiar_a to_o his_o write_n but_o he_o say_v he_o can_v persuade_v himself_o to_o read_v what_o the_o animadverter_n have_v write_v on_o this_o occasion_n to_o what_o purpose_n therefore_o be_v it_o to_o offer_v any_o new_a argument_n which_o must_v all_o be_v lose_v upon_o one_o who_o supercilious_o disdain_v to_o peruse_v and_o consider_v what_o either_o have_v or_o what_o may_v hereafter_o be_v charitable_o propose_v for_o his_o conviction_n but_o because_o he_o who_o resolve_v never_o to_o read_v whatever_o shall_v be_v write_v by_o the_o animadverter_n may_v perhaps_o cast_v a_o scornful_a glance_n on_o these_o paper_n i_o shall_v therefore_o so_o far_o gratify_v he_o in_o his_o demand_n as_o to_o offer_v he_o one_o reason_n against_o his_o three_o substance_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n but_o it_o shall_v be_v a_o substantial_a one_o and_o such_o as_o most_o man_n i_o be_o sure_a will_v look_v upon_o to_o be_v as_o considerable_a and_o as_o effectual_a to_o show_v the_o falsehood_n and_o impiety_n of_o his_o opinion_n as_o if_o twenty_o be_v propose_v and_o that_o be_v this_o viz._n that_o if_o there_o be_v three_o distinct_a substance_n and_o the_o same_o be_v to_o be_v say_v of_o three_o distinct_a mind_n and_o spirit_n in_o the_o trinity_n than_o there_o must_v unavoidable_o be_v three_o go_n this_o have_v be_v so_o plain_o and_o irrefragable_o already_o make_v out_o by_o the_o learned_a animadverter_n that_o if_o the_o dean_n will_v have_v vouchsafe_v to_o have_v spend_v that_o time_n in_o read_v and_o examine_v the_o animadversion_n which_o he_o have_v misspend_v in_o examine_v the_o oxford_n decree_n it_o will_v have_v spare_v any_o far_a trouble_n or_o pain_n in_o this_o affair_n now_o for_o a_o far_a proof_n and_o confirmation_n of_o this_o reason_n i_o shall_v lay_v down_o some_o observation_n which_o carry_v such_o a_o plainness_n and_o evidence_n along_o with_o they_o as_o can_v i_o think_v be_v gainsay_v or_o resist_v but_o by_o such_o who_o be_v beforehand_o resolve_v to_o persist_v in_o their_o error_n and_o be_v harden_v against_o all_o conviction_n such_o as_o one_a that_o the_o existence_n and_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n be_v the_o first_o and_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o all_o religion_n both_o reveal_v and_o natural_a and_o consequent_o that_o there_o can_v be_v
