of_o a_o socinian_n writer_n the_o argument_n be_v of_o that_o great_a consequence_n that_o it_o deserve_v to_o be_v defend_v and_o this_o pamphleteer_n have_v so_o rude_o reflect_v upon_o the_o

and_o that_o little_a wit_n they_o have_v be_v now_o degenerate_v into_o rail_a that_o scurrilous_a treatment_n they_o have_v late_o give_v to_o so_o many_o excellent_a person_n especial_o to_o that_o

this_o author_n have_v not_o deceive_v my_o expectation_n for_o upon_o a_o perusal_n of_o his_o remark_n i_o find_v nothing_o of_o argument_n a_o very_a little_a wit_n and_o abundance_n of_o rail_a his_o wit_n and_o rail_a be_v to_o himself_o but_o i_o be_o sorry_a i_o can_v find_v nothing_o that_o look_v so_o like_o a_o argument_n as_o to_o administer_v occasion_n for_o any_o useful_a discourse_n this_o there_o be_v no_o help_n for_o if_o man_n will_v write_v book_n without_o any_o argument_n to_o be_v answer_v there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v do_v but_o only_o to_o show_v that_o they_o have_v offer_v nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n or_o that_o need_v a_o answer_n and_o this_o will_v be_v do_v in_o a_o few_o word_n for_o he_o have_v dispute_v at_o large_a against_o what_o i_o never_o say_v nor_o think_v but_o have_v not_o one_o word_n against_o any_o part_n of_o the_o argument_n of_o that_o sermon_n his_o title-page_n pretend_v a_o great_a zeal_n for_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n concern_v the_o bless_a trinity_n which_o be_v as_o true_a as_o that_o richard_n baldwin_n print_v this_o pamphlet_n who_o have_v public_o disow_v it_o in_o print_n but_o though_o a_o socinian_n conscience_n can_v digest_v such_o godly_a cheat_n as_o a_o piece_n of_o wit_n and_o artifice_n yet_o a_o wise_a man_n will_v not_o venture_v on_o they_o because_o mankind_n hate_v to_o be_v abuse_v and_o grow_v very_o jealous_a of_o man_n of_o trick_n and_o yet_o have_v we_o to_o deal_v with_o modest_a man_n it_o will_v be_v think_v a_o little_a of_o the_o late_a for_o a_o socinian_n to_o talk_v of_o defend_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n concern_v the_o

able_a to_o make_v any_o other_o reply_n to_o it_o be_v time_n for_o they_o can_v they_o find_v any_o thing_n else_o to_o say_v in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o to_o let_v that_o alone_o and_o yet_o this_o be_v what_o he_o will_v bring_v this_o present_a dispute_n to_o if_o he_o know_v how_o he_o often_o flirt_v at_o three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n though_o there_o be_v no_o such_o expression_n in_o the_o whole_a sermon_n but_o still_o he_o say_v i_o intimate_v this_o in_o assert_v a_o real_a trinity_n now_o if_o three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o notion_n of_o a_o real_a trinity_n as_o his_o inference_n suppose_v it_o be_v the_o best_a vindication_n that_o can_v possible_o be_v think_v of_o for_o that_o expression_n for_o not_o to_o believe_v a_o real_a trinity_n be_v to_o deny_v the_o father_n to_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a father_n and_o the_o son_n to_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a son_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n to_o be_v a_o true_a and_o real_a spirit_n and_o this_o be_v to_o deny_v the_o catholic_n faith_n of_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n which_o can_v be_v a_o real_a trinity_n can_v be_v real_o three_o if_o each_o of_o they_o be_v not_o true_o and_o real_o what_o be_v signify_v by_o those_o name_n but_o though_o that_o phrase_n of_o three_o infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n be_v use_v very_o innocent_o by_o i_o only_o to_o signify_v three_o infinite_a intelligent_a person_n each_o of_o which_o be_v infinite_a mind_n and_o spirit_n and_o neither_o of_o they_o be_v each_o other_o which_o be_v the_o catholic_n faith_n yet_o i_o free_o acknowledge_v as_o i_o have_v do_v more_o than_o once_o that_o it_o be_v liable_a to_o a_o very_a heretical_a tritheistick_a sense_n if_o understand_v absolute_o and_o in_o that_o sense_n i_o always_o disow_v it_o and_o it_o be_v a_o sign_n man_n have_v very_o little_a to_o say_v when_o they_o make_v such_o a_o noise_n with_o a_o inconvenient_a form_n of_o speech_n

all_o this_o to_o my_o sermon_n which_o neither_o explain_v nor_o defend_v any_o particular_a hypothesis_n about_o the_o trinity_n but_o be_v a_o general_a vindication_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n from_o the_o pretence_n of_o reason_n and_o philosophy_n but_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n and_o of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n concern_v the_o bless_a trinity_n explain_v and_o assert_v against_o the_o dangerous_a heterodoxy_n in_o a_o sermon_n by_o dr_n william_n sherlock_n &c_n &c_n and_o remark_n upon_o dr._n william_n sherlock_n '_o s_z false_a and_o treacherous_a
