doctrine_n be_v ever_o so_o displease_v to_o mr._n calvin_n and_o his_o follower_n the_o french_a minister_n that_o sometime_o they_o deny_v there_o be_v any_o such_o thing_n as_o good_a work_n and_o otherwhile_o they_o affirm_v that_o good_a work_n be_v not_o only_o no_o necessary_a condition_n of_o salvation_n but_o be_v even_o pernicious_a dangerous_a and_o destructive_a thereof_o they_o be_v so_o much_o of_o this_o mind_n that_o they_o make_v the_o contrary_a doctrine_n to_o be_v heresy_n and_o because_o they_o think_v they_o can_v any_o way_n render_v it_o more_o odious_a they_o call_v it_o socinianism_n but_o i_o advise_v they_o see_v popery_n be_v now_o so_o much_o abominate_v in_o england_n that_o they_o will_v rather_o call_v it_o jesuitism_n they_o shall_v have_v prosecute_v this_o dr._n a._n l._n as_o a_o jesuit_n rather_o than_o as_o a_o socinian_n that_o have_v be_v a_o way_n to_o set_v the_o rabble_n as_o well_o as_o the_o spiritual_a court_n upon_o he_o but_o if_o socinianism_n and_o the_o english_a socinian_n be_v indeed_o such_o eyesore_n to_o these_o minister_n as_o seem_v by_o their_o frequent_a prosecution_n of_o divers_a person_n on_o that_o account_n before_o the_o ecclesiastical_a judge_n and_o in_o other_o court_n they_o shall_v at_o least_o have_v show_v so_o much_o justice_n as_o not_o to_o misplace_v their_o accusation_n so_o gross_o too_o as_o they_o have_v do_v this_o dr._n a._n l._n be_v the_o four_o or_o five_o person_n to_o who_o they_o have_v give_v a_o public_a trouble_n on_o the_o account_n of_o socinianism_n they_o have_v be_v always_o baffle_v and_o sometime_o severe_o check_v by_o the_o judge_n and_o court_n all_o this_o have_v not_o discourage_v they_o they_o have_v no_o reputation_n to_o lose_v from_o renew_v their_o persecution_n of_o innocent_a person_n but_o i_o advise_v they_o much_o to_o lay_v the_o saddle_n upon_o the_o right_a horse_n and_o let_v they_o not_o so_o whole_o despise_v the_o imputation_n of_o calumny_n and_o malice_n vice_n so_o unsuitable_a to_o their_o profession_n of_o minister_n let_v they_o cease_v to_o accuse_v those_o that_o be_v not_o guilty_a when_o they_o may_v easy_o find_v so_o many_o who_o be_v not_o only_o guilty_a of_o unitarianism_n if_o it_o be_v a_o gild_n but_o be_v also_o liable_a upon_o that_o account_n my_o meaning_n be_v have_v preach_v up_o and_o write_v for_o unitarianism_n they_o have_v for_o instance_n the_o four_o evangelist_n and_o the_o apostle_n notorious_o guilty_a of_o the_o heresy_n now_o call_v socinianism_n and_o their_o word_n be_v so_o clear_a and_o express_v for_o it_o that_o the_o minister_n need_v not_o fear_v the_o imputation_n of_o slander_n if_o they_o shall_v article_n against_o they_o at_o the_o place_n and_o court_n where_o they_o

be_v god_n be_v this_o that_o the_o attribute_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v ascribe_v to_o he_o no_o less_o than_o to_o god_n and_o i_o will_v make_v choice_n say_v he_o of_o six_o of_o the_o divine_a attribute_n to_o verify_v my_o argument_n eternity_n immensity_n holiness_n knowledge_n power_n and_o mercy_n these_o property_n say_v he_o be_v in_o the_o lord_n christ_n in_o such_o manner_n as_o belong_v to_o god_n only_o therefore_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v also_o god_n first_o for_o eternity_n he_o say_v it_o be_v prove_v to_o be_v in_o christ_n because_o the_o author_n to_o
