of_o a_o trinity_n make_v i_o a_o more_o merciful_a and_o righteous_a man_n than_o i_o shall_v be_v if_o i_o do_v profess_v the_o contrary_a will_v it_o make_v i_o love_v and_o honour_n god_n better_o will_v it_o make_v the_o service_n which_o i_o render_v to_o his_o divine_a majesty_n a_o more_o reasonable_a service_n and_o if_o on_o serious_a consideration_n you_o find_v it_o will_v not_o then_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o unitarian_n faith_n which_o deny_v a_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o godhead_n be_v much_o to_o be_v prefer_v since_o it_o be_v not_o perplex_v with_o such_o contradiction_n to_o humane_a understanding_n but_o depend_v on_o more_o plain_a and_o noble_a evidence_n and_o do_v also_o in_o all_o respect_n whatsoever_o effectual_o secure_v a_o good_a life_n which_o when_o all_o be_v do_v be_v the_o very_a soul_n and_o life_n of_o religion_n and_o will_v stand_v by_o a_o man_n when_o hypostatical_a union_n and_o mutual_a consciousness_n and_o somewhat_v will_v prove_v but_o poor_a thing_n to_o depend_v upon_o for_o salvation_n there_o can_v be_v no_o danger_n of_o damnation_n for_o not_o assent_v to_o such_o mysterious_a notion_n as_o man_n can_v at_o no_o tolerable_a rate_n understand_v such_o as_o be_v that_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o a_o trinity_n which_o make_v the_o divine_a power_n of_o the_o godhead_n to_o reside_v in_o three_o distinct_a person_n who_o constitution_n be_v like_a that_o of_o a_o free_a state_n rather_o than_o the_o more_o divine_a government_n of_o a_o single_a monarchy_n if_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n they_o believe_v hearty_o the_o plain_a doctrine_n reveal_v in_o god_n word_n and_o live_v up_o true_o to_o the_o undoubted_a precept_n which_o the_o christian_a religion_n command_v which_o i_o be_o certain_a do_v no_o where_o say_v that_o unless_o you_o believe_v that_o three_o person_n be_v true_o god_n you_o shall_v certain_o be_v damn_v salvation_n and_o the_o belief_n of_o the_o trinity_n not_o inconsistent_a it_o be_v object_v as_o dangerous_a to_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o god_n be_v but_o one_o in_o person_n because_o we_o shall_v hereby_o as_o much_o as_o in_o we_o lie_v

though_o not_o whole_o debar_v they_o of_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o to_o persist_v therein_o after_o due_a admonition_n especial_o be_v very_o imprudent_a and_o dangerous_a it_o be_v plain_a that_o though_o those_o who_o believe_v a_o trinity_n do_v believe_v more_o than_o either_o god_n or_o christ_n do_v require_v as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n yet_o together_o or_o therewith_o
