thing_n of_o god_n rev._n 1.1_o if_o it_o be_v demand_v if_o this_o be_v all_o why_o be_v this_o spirit_n call_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n i_o hope_v the_o vindicator_n know_v that_o it_o be_v the_o manner_n of_o the_o hebrew_n tongue_n to_o name_n thing_n great_a in_o their_o kind_n by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n he_o may_v also_o be_v call_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o prophet_n be_v in_o scripture_n call_v the_o man_n of_o god_n because_o both_o one_o and_o the_o other_o be_v send_v by_o god_n and_o this_o spirit_n be_v so_o much_o the_o chief_a of_o all_o other_o spirit_n that_o be_v god_n messenger_n that_o he_o be_v therefore_o sometime_o call_v by_o way_n of_o eminence_n and_o excellence_n the_o spirit_n of_o god_n so_o a_o arian_n or_o bidellian_n unitarian_n will_v answer_v to_o the_o objection_n from_o this_o text._n how_o a_o socinian_n unitarian_n will_v answer_v may_v be_v see_v in_o the_o brief_a history_n from_o p._n 98_o to_o p._n 102._o the_o conclusion_n thus_o i_o have_v consider_v dr._n sherlock_n new_a explication_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n by_o selfconsciousness_n and_o mutual_a consciousness_n and_o therein_o the_o substance_n and_o force_n of_o his_o book_n which_o he_o have_v so_o vain_o and_o untrue_o call_v a_o vindication_n of_o those_o doctrine_n his_o book_n can_v deserve_v that_o title_n in_o no_o other_o sense_n but_o as_o it_o be_v a_o supercilious_a disdainful_a and_o peevish_a answer_n but_o for_o that_o the_o unitarian_n know_v very_o well_o that_o when_o learned_a man_n rage_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n that_o they_o have_v neither_o humanity_n nor_o good_a manner_n leave_v it_o be_v because_o they_o find_v themselves_o pinch_v they_o know_v too_o that_o omnis_fw-la renegada_n est_fw-la ordinis_fw-la svi_fw-la persecutor_n those_o who_o have_v hitherto_o say_v who_o be_v all_o that_o have_v read_v his_o book_n there_o be_v nothing_o considerable_a in_o dr._n sherlock_n book_n but_o what_o he_o either_o borrow_a from_o the_o socinian_o or_o build_v upon_o their_o foundation_n such_o will_v wonder_v he_o will_v show_v no_o better_a reason_n why_o he_o have_v shift_v side_n he_o promise_v at_o p._n 21._o to_o examine_v the_o brief_a note_n paragraph_v by_o paragraph_n that_o the_o author_n may_v not_o complain_v of_o unsair_a usage_n but_o at_o p._n 256_o before_o he_o be_v get_v half_a through_o the_o note_n he_o pretend_v to_o grow_v weary_a of_o the_o note-maker_n long_a harangue_n though_o the_o whole_a note_n be_v less_o than_o a_o sheet_n of_o paper_n and_o so_o give_v his_o reader_n only_o so_o much_o of_o the_o brief_a note_n as_o he_o fancy_v he_o can_v deal_v withal_o therefore_o the_o author_n of_o the_o note_n will_v say_v this_o be_v not_o only_o unfair_a but_o after_o a_o promise_n false_a usage_n other_o say_v the_o doctor_n grow_v self-conscious_a sensible_a of_o his_o inability_n and_o therefore_o dare_v not_o trust_v his_o reader_n with_o those_o dangerous_a note_n and_o his_o crude_a answer_n to_o they_o but_o where_o he_o pretend_v to_o answer_v he_o shall_v not_o have_v suppress_v so_o many_o period_n nor_o omit_v to_o take_v notice_n of_o the_o reason_n use_v suppose_v it_o be_v enough_o if_o he_o oppose_v the_o doctrine_n lest_o of_o all_o shall_v a_o answerer_n of_o his_o stand_n and_o reputation_n in_o polemic_a squabble_n have_v quiet_o pass_v by_o some_o whole_a paragraph_n the_o most_o material_a in_o the_o note_n or_o only_o cast_v a_o bald_a squeeze_a jest_n at_o '_o they_o as_o to_o the_o slight_a quirk_n which_o he_o sometime_o oppose_v to_o the_o argument_n in_o the_o note_n and_o history_n there_o be_v a_o answer_n prepare_v and_o almost_o finish_v to_o every_o thing_n in_o his_o book_n to_o be_v publish_v unless_o in_o his_o next_o he_o be_v content_a to_o own_o he_o desire_v it_o not_o for_o as_o to_o the_o unitarian_n themselves_o they_o be_v upon_o several_a account_n not_o forward_o to_o publish_v a_o far_a answer_n first_o they_o foresee_v that_o the_o vindication_n be_v not_o a_o book_n by_o which_o the_o church_n of_o england_n or_o any_o other_o party_n of_o the_o trinitarian_n will_v abide_v they_o look_v for_o another_o kind_n of_o answer_n and_o therefore_o reserve_v their_o defence_n to_o a_o time_n and_o occasion_n that_o may_v more_o require_v they_o another_o reason_n be_v they_o dare_v trust_v the_o history_n and_o note_n with_o the_o doctor_n be_v answer_n though_o he_o dare_v not_o trust_v his_o answer_n with_o the_o note_n only_o they_o desire_v the_o reader_n to_o read_v the_o note_n and_o history_n as_o they_o be_v publish_v by_o they_o in_o entire_a discourse_n not_o as_o they_o be_v mangle_v and_o cut_v into_o thong_n by_o the_o

publish_v by_o the_o unitarian_n but_o will_v sin_v himself_o as_o much_o trouble_a to_o untie_v the_o gordian_a knot_n as_o if_o they_o have_v never_o read_v the_o solution_n of_o the_o vindicator_n but_o i_o will_v conclude_v with_o he_o with_o only_o observe_v something_o to_o what_o he_o have_v with_o his_o usual_a charity_n and_o sagacity_n object_v to_o the_o hope_n of_o salvation_n in_o the_o unitarian_n way_n the_o note-maker_n have_v say_v that_o in_o these_o point_n which_o have_v be_v always_o controvert_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n that_o a_o man_n happen_v to_o be_v of_o the_o right_a persuasion_n it_o be_v sufficient_a if_o he_o use_v reasonable_a diligence_n to_o be_v inform_v if_o after_o that_o he_o mistake_v he_o be_v in_o no_o fault_n at_o all_o his_o error_n be_v pure_a ignorance_n not_o a_o culpable_a ignorance_n for_o how_o can_v it_o be_v culpable_a not_o to_o know_v that_o of_o which_o a_o man_n be_v ignorant_a after_o a_o diligent_a and_o impartial_a inquiry_n to_o this_o the_o vindicator_n answer_v in_o several_a page_n but_o all_o the_o argument_n of_o his_o answer_n be_v in_o these_o word_n then_o how_o come_v a_o atheist_n a_o turk_n or_o a_o jew_n to_o be_v in_o any_o fault_n do_v the_o note-maker_n think_v that_o no_o atheist_n turk_n or_o jew_n ever_o use_v reasonable_a diligence_n and_o why_o shall_v not_o their_o reasonable_a diligence_n serve_v their_o turn_n as_o well_o as_o the_o reasonable_a diligence_n of_o socinian_o and_o other_o heretic_n and_o do_v not_o the_o reason_n he_o give_v extend_v to_o the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n as_o well_o as_o to_o those_o point_n that_o he_o say_v have_v be_v always_o controvert_v in_o the_o church_n of_o god_n to_o this_o compliment_n of_o the_o vindicator_n i_o answer_v 1._o i_o do_v not_o think_v atheism_n ever_o be_v the_o abide_a sentiment_n of_o any_o man_n who_o take_v time_n to_o consider_v and_o i_o deny_v that_o any_o atheist_n ever_o use_v reasonable_a or_o but_o tolerable_a diligence_n to_o be_v inform_v 2._o as_o to_o jew_n and_o turk_n who_o believe_v and_o worship_v the_o one_o true_a god_n and_o he_o only_o perhaps_o they_o be_v in_o a_o near_a proximity_n to_o salvation_n than_o such_o as_o against_o sufficient_a opportunity_n of_o a_o right_a information_n and_o for_o worldly_a interest_n have_v apostatise_v from_o the_o christian_a faith_n to_o the_o athanasian_n 3._o those_o that_o deny_v the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n after_o have_v know_v it_o and_o the_o reason_n of_o it_o the_o note-maker_n be_v assure_v whatever_o diligence_n they_o may_v have_v use_v they_o have_v not_o make_v as_o the_o note_n express_o require_v a_o impartial_a inquiry_n they_o have_v be_v bias_v by_o their_o prejudices_fw-la or_o their_o lust_n against_o the_o whole_a christian_a faith_n as_o other_o we_o see_v be_v bias_v against_o the_o most_o essential_a part_n of_o it_o the_o unity_n of_o god_n his_o insinite_a sapience_n goodness_n justice_n and_o power_n his_o real_a omnipresence_n the_o liberty_n of_o our_o will_n to_o good_a and_o evil._n if_o the_o vindicator_n think_v otherways_o let_v he_o speak_v out_o and_o plain_o tell_v the_o world_n his_o mind_n that_o a_o man_n may_v have_v use_v reasonable_a diligence_n and_o also_o make_v a_o impartial_a inquiry_n and_o yet_o disbelieve_v the_o whole_a christian_a religion_n this_o i_o hope_v may_v be_v enough_o to_o dr._n sherlock_n at_o present_a as_o for_o mr._n savage_n who_o have_v also_o write_v against_o the_o brief_a note_n if_o he_o have_v please_v to_o write_v after_o a_o intelligible_a manner_n he_o seem_v to_o be_v a_o person_n that_o may_v have_v deserve_v a_o careful_a answer_n but_o have_v

to_o the_o unitarian_n cause_n his_o book_n can_v do_v neither_o good_a nor_o hurt_n however_o the_o unitarian_n thank_v he_o for_o his_o design_n to_o inform_v and_o instruct_v they_o and_o they_o desire_v he_o not_o to_o take_v it_o amiss_o if_o they_o also_o advise_v he_o that_o the_o next_o time_n he_o write_v for_o the_o information_n of_o the_o illiterate_a and_o vulgar_a he_o will_v
