reader_n to_o be_v delude_v with_o they_o only_o thus_o much_o i_o must_v mind_v the_o reader_n of_o that_o in_o the_o whole_a of_o this_o discourse_n i_o have_v not_o meddle_v at_o all_o with_o dr._n sherlock_n or_o those_o of_o his_o party_n who_o assert_v that_o the_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n be_v three_o distinct_a infinite_a mind_n or_o spirit_n and_o three_o individual_a substance_n and_o who_o this_o author_n style_v real_a trinitarian_n these_o i_o confess_v have_v give_v too_o just_a occasion_n of_o offence_n and_o scandal_n to_o all_o sober_a christian_n who_o do_v not_o stand_v in_o need_n of_o such_o weapon_n for_o defence_n of_o the_o trinity_n against_o the_o extreme_n either_o of_o arius_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o of_o sabellius_n or_o the_o unitarian_n on_o the_o other_o for_o see_v i_o find_v these_o just_o censure_v by_o those_o learned_a and_o worthy_a person_n the_o vicechancellor_n and_o head_n of_o the_o college_n and_o hall_n in_o oxford_n in_o their_o decree_n of_o novemb_n 25._o a._n d._n 1695._o i_o do_v full_o acquiesce_v therein_o but_o as_o to_o the_o author_n with_o who_o i_o have_v to_o do_v when_o i_o come_v to_o that_o part_n of_o his_o letter_n viz._n chap._n 6_o 7_o 8_o 9_o which_o seem_v only_o to_o refer_v to_o these_o and_o so_o have_v think_v to_o have_v rid_v my_o hand_n of_o he_o yet_o peruse_v these_o chapter_n i_o find_v so_o many_o thing_n interweave_v relate_v to_o the_o former_a who_o defence_n i_o have_v undertake_v as_o if_o his_o arrow_n be_v chief_o level_v at_o these_o that_o i_o do_v plain_o see_v either_o i_o must_v do_v more_o or_o leave_v this_o author_n to_o glory_n as_o if_o i_o have_v leave_v some_o of_o his_o chief_a argument_n unanswered_a which_o now_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o so_o much_o as_o pretend_v and_o now_o i_o will_v shut_v up_o my_o whole_a discourse_n but_o that_o his_o last_o chapter_n about_o mystery_n may_v call_v for_o these_o few_o brief_a note_n on_o it_o viz._n 1._o that_o it_o argue_v intolerable_a pride_n and_o folly_n in_o he_o to_o prefer_v reason_n as_o in_o fall_v man_n yea_o his_o own_o magnifyed_a idea_n of_o thing_n which_o we_o have_v find_v already_o to_o be_v so_o false_a to_o the_o most_o undoubted_a tradition_n and_o revelation_n of_o god_n in_o the_o word_n and_o to_o make_v those_o the_o rule_n and_o touchstone_n for_o try_v these_o by_o as_o it_o be_v clear_a he_o do_v §_o 11._o 2._o that_o it_o argue_v high_a impudence_n and_o impiety_n for_o he_o to_o make_v as_o §_o 103._o 104._o mystery_n no_o mark_n of_o christ_n or_o true_a religion_n but_o only_o of_o antichrist_n and_o irreligion_n when_o yet_o sacred_a scripture_n tell_v he_o 1_o tim._n 3._o 16._o that_o great_a be_v the_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n god_n manifest_a in_o the_o flesh_n which_o clear_o show_v that_o there_o be_v as_o well_v a_o mystery_n of_o godliness_n relate_v to_o christ_n as_o a_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n relate_v to_o antichrist_n 3._o whereas_o he_o rail_v against_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o a_o cunning_o devise_v fable_n for_o to_o keep_v people_n in_o darkness_n and_o make_v such_o as_o be_v child_n be_v as_o child_n still_o §_o 95._o i_o must_v tell_v he_o this_o be_v no_o better_a than_o false_a and_o lie_a slander_n for_o he_o see_v how_o ready_a we_o be_v to_o enter_v the_o list_n with_o he_o and_o to_o vindicate_v our_o doctrine_n both_o by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n from_o all_o his_o black_a calumny_n obj._n 4._o whereas_o he_o pretend_v that_o there_o be_v no_o mystery_n in_o religion_n as_o to_o the_o thing_n themselves_o which_o be_v reveal_v but_o only_o as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o they_o i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v not_o as_o to_o their_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d but_o 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d see_v his_o §_o 96_o 97_o 98._o and_o then_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v a_o mystery_n as_o to_o the_o thing_n themselves_o i._n e._n such_o wherein_o we_o have_v no_o idea_n of_o the_o thing_n at_o all_o or_o but_o such_o as_o be_v contradictory_n to_o the_o true_a and_o contain_v a_o affirmation_n and_o negation_n of_o the_o same_o thing_n which_o he_o will_v more_o full_o evidence_n §_o 102._o tell_v we_o that_o to_o say_v three_o person_n and_o one_o person_n be_v the_o same_o god_n be_v as_o great_a a_o contradiction_n as_o to_o say_v three_o person_n and_o one_o be_v the_o same_o and_o that_o we_o may_v as_o soon_o apprehend_v a_o round_a square_n or_o a_o mountain_n without_o a_o valley_n which_o yet_o trinitarian_n will_v maintain_v under_o pretence_n of_o mystery_n and_o this_o when_o not_o only_a unitarian_n but_o all_o mankind_n that_o worship_n but_o one_o divine_a be_v be_v great_o scandalize_v at_o they_o
