somewhat_v less_o than_o nothing_o for_o nothing_o have_v at_o least_o a_o name_n it_o be_v plain_a dr._n wallis_n speak_v after_o this_o manner_n only_o to_o avoid_v the_o inexplicable_a difficulty_n

the_o joint_a service_n and_o worship_n of_o the_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o for_o aught_o appear_v in_o the_o same_o degree_n no_o the_o contrary_a appear_v because_o we_o know_v that_o the_o son_n be_v but_o a_o man_n and_o the_o spirit_n either_o a_o angel_n or_o the_o power_n only_o and_o inspiration_n of_o god_n but_o for_o this_o matter_n i_o refer_v the_o reader_n and_o if_o he_o please_v the_o doctor_n himself_o to_o the_o brief_a history_n pag._n 77_o 78_o 79._o and_o to_o the_o defence_n of_o that_o history_n pag._n 37_o 38_o 39_o 40._o i_o be_o not_o aware_a sir_n that_o there_o be_v any_o thing_n more_o in_o the_o doctor_n be_v letter_n necessary_a to_o be_v consider_v i_o conclude_v therefore_o with_o desire_v you_o to_o give_v my_o acknowledgement_n and_o thanks_o to_o dr._n wallis_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o spend_v some_o part_n of_o his_o time_n which_o he_o know_v how_o to_o expend_v so_o well_o in_o seek_v to_o instruct_v and_o reduce_v the_o unitarian_n and_o particular_o the_o socinian_o that_o they_o be_v not_o convince_v by_o what_o he_o have_v say_v do_v not_o they_o confess_v lessen_v their_o obligation_n to_o he_o they_o desire_v it_o may_v not_o lessen_v his_o charity_n to_o they_o since_o it_o be_v not_o in_o man_n power_n to_o believe_v as_o they_o will_n they_o profess_v he_o have_v write_v like_o a_o man_n of_o wit_n and_o letter_n like_o a_o gentleman_n and_o like_o a_o christian_a therefore_o they_o will_v always_o hear_v dr._n wallis_n as_o a_o father_n and_o if_o there_o be_v a_o necessity_n at_o any_o time_n to_o reply_v they_o will_v answer_v respectful_o sir_n i_o be_o you_o finis_fw-la
