they_o of_o the_o trinity_n incarnation_n passion_n say_v our_o saviour_n do_v strange_a thing_n in_o virtue_n of_o some_o constellation_n and_o deliver_v these_o thing_n so_o oratorical_o that_o

whether_o any_o error_n in_o sixteen_o age_n have_v creep_v in_o this_o very_a thing_n be_v above_o nature_n for_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o excellency_n beyond_o the_o nature_n of_o corruptible_a

if_o it_o can_v not_o be_v the_o question_n be_v resolve_v that_o no_o error_n be_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n which_o hold_v her_o faith_n upon_o that_o tenure_n and_o true_o if_o the_o author_n

that_o rely_v upon_o scripture_n can_v draw_v to_o a_o unity_n those_o who_o rely_v upon_o it_o and_o that_o more_o than_o one_o can_v rely_v upon_o tradition_n which_o when_o i_o have_v consider_v

less_o than_o immortality_n can_v at_o last_o only_o reach_v to_o some_o conservation_n of_o health_n or_o youth_n in_o some_o small_a degree_n so_o i_o can_v wish_v the_o author_n to_o well_o

not_o be_v capable_a of_o so_o great_a a_o good_a will_v he_o therefore_o think_v fit_v to_o live_v without_o any_o religion_n because_o he_o can_v not_o get_v such_o a_o one_o as_o himself_o desire_v though_o with_o more_o than_o a_o man_n wish_n be_v it_o not_o rational_a to_o see_v whether_o among_o religion_n some_o one_o have_v not_o such_o notable_a advantage_n over_o the_o rest_n as_o in_o
