be_v a_o company_n of_o illiterate_a and_o injudicious_a blockhead_n and_o so_o infallible_o they_o must_v be_v if_o in_o the_o affair_n of_o religion_n and_o the_o judgement_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o ancient_a church_n they_o understand_v nothing_o but_o by_o prophesy_v or_o inspiration_n as_o he_o say_v p._n 31._o that_o be_v nothing_o at_o all_o neither_o can_v he_o relieve_v himself_o by_o suggest_v as_o if_o some_o who_o be_v present_a dissent_v for_o his_o friend_n may_v have_v inform_v he_o that_o after_o some_o previous_a discourse_n as_o usual_o happen_v at_o such_o meeting_n when_o the_o censure_n and_o decree_n be_v settle_v and_o agree_v upon_o there_o be_v not_o one_o person_n who_o open_v his_o mouth_n or_o say_v one_o word_n in_o opposition_n to_o it_o either_o as_o

the_o rashness_n and_o injudiciousness_n of_o this_o decree_n p._n 11._o sure_o our_o author_n when_o he_o make_v this_o reflection_n have_v his_o own_o write_n before_o he_o in_o which_o there_o be_v so_o many_o mark_n of_o haste_n and_o precipitation_n but_o let_v we_o consider_v these_o epithet_n apart_o first_o he_o say_v it_o be_v a_o hasty_a judgement_n but_o that_o be_v more_o than_o he_o know_v and_o if_o it_o be_v as_o hasty_a as_o he_o imagine_v yet_o i_o must_v tell_v he_o that_o be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o it_o in_o this_o case_n for_o there_o be_v some_o thing_n so_o gross_o and_o palpable_o false_a and_o absurd_a that_o their_o falsehood_n and_o absurdity_n appear_v at_o first_o view_n and_o therefore_o require_v no_o long_a time_n or_o previous_a deliberation_n to_o detect_v they_o and_o when_o they_o be_v so_o detect_v i_o hope_v it_o be_v no_o argument_n of_o rashness_n to_o condemn_v they_o and_o such_o be_v the_o proposition_n censure_v in_o the_o decree_n which_o be_v direct_o repugnant_a to_o the_o common_a faith_n and_o universal_o receive_v doctrine_n of_o all_o sound_a christian_n tend_v plain_o to_o overthrow_v the_o unity_n of_o the_o godhead_n which_o be_v the_o first_o and_o fundamental_a principle_n of_o all_o religion_n whether_o natural_a or_o reveal_v but_o if_o these_o proposition_n be_v not_o so_o gross_o and_o palpable_o absurd_a yet_o the_o condemnation_n of_o they_o can_v not_o be_v account_v injudicious_a because_o the_o head_n who_o be_v concern_v in_o that_o censure_n herein_o follow_v and_o be_v govern_v by_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o father_n and_o council_n to_o make_v this_o more_o plain_a suppose_v any_o one_o now_o shall_v assert_v that_o there_o be_v two_o person_n or_o but_o one_o nature_n in_o christ_n and_o thereby_o revive_v the_o heresy_n of_o nestorius_n or_o eutyches_n will_v it_o require_v any_o long_a time_n and_o previous_a consultation_n to_o censure_v those_o position_n or_o can_v such_o a_o censure_n so_o pass_v be_v accuse_v of_o rashness_n i_o say_v no_o because_o we_o have_v the_o example_n and_o authority_n of_o two_o general_a council_n to_o justify_v such_o a_o condemnation_n which_o can_v be_v impeach_v of_o imprudence_n without_o reflect_v upon_o the_o wisdom_n and_o integrity_n not_o only_o of_o the_o father_n who_o compose_v those_o august_n assembly_n but_o likewise_o of_o the_o catholic_n church_n which_o have_v confirm_v their_o sentence_n by_o reject_v those_o error_n which_o they_o condemn_v he_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n be_v just_o to_o be_v account_v rash_a and_o arrogant_a who_o presume_v to_o oppose_v his_o own_o single_a opinion_n to_o the_o judgement_n and_o determination_n of_o father_n and_o council_n and_o upon_o that_o account_n endeavour_v fixa_fw-la refigere_fw-la to_o shake_v and_o unsettle_v those_o doctrine_n and_o those_o word_n in_o which_o they_o have_v be_v convey_v down_o to_o we_o and_o which_o be_v now_o universal_o establish_v in_o the_o christian_a church_n in_o short_a therefore_o to_o censure_v any_o position_n which_o have_v already_o be_v condemn_v by_o any_o general_n council_n do_v not_o require_v any_o slow_a or_o tedious_a consultation_n it_o be_v sufficient_a to_o declare_v they_o impious_a and_o scandalous_a because_o they_o have_v be_v so_o adjudge_v former_o by_o assembly_n compose_v of_o person_n who_o have_v be_v celebrate_v for_o their_o wisdom_n and_o learning_n and_o renown_v for_o their_o soundness_n in_o the_o faith_n and_o their_o zeal_n for_o it_o and_o so_o it_o be_v in_o the_o case_n before_o we_o the_o proposition_n censure_v by_o the_o decree_n be_v such_o as_o have_v former_o be_v condemn_v by_o the_o famous_a council_n of_o nice_a who_o determination_n have_v be_v receive_v with_o respect_n and_o reverence_n by_o all_o good_a christian_n and_o make_v up_o at_o this_o day_n part_n of_o the_o establish_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o church_n in_o the_o christian_a world_n who_o amid_o that_o variety_n of_o judgement_n and_o opinion_n in_o other_o matter_n be_v at_o perfect_a agreement_n among_o themselves_o in_o this_o that_o the_o father_n and_o son_n be_v consubstantial_a or_o of_o one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n to_o which_o assertion_n the_o proposition_n condemn_v be_v plain_o and_o diametrical_o opposite_a it_o be_v absolute_o impossible_a that_o two_o or_o three_o individual_a substance_n shall_v be_v one_o and_o the_o same_o substance_n the_o second_o thing_n which_o ought_v not_o to_o be_v pass_v over_o without_o observation_n be_v that_o undecent_a reflection_n which_o in_o more_o place_n than_o one_o of_o this_o examination_n he_o pass_v upon_o zeal_n one_o will_v think_v he_o account_v it_o unlawful_a and_o unwarrantable_a in_o the_o affair_n of_o religion_n or_o else_o sure_a he_o will_v never_o brand_v any_o man_n with_o the_o name_n of_o zealot_n as_o if_o it_o be_v a_o mark_n of_o infamy_n and_o reproach_n he_o ought_v therefore_o to_o be_v tell_v that_o there_o never_o be_v a_o just_a sense_n and_o a_o firm_a belief_n of_o religion_n find_v in_o any_o person_n where_o it_o be_v not_o likewise_o accompany_v with_o a_o zeal_n &_o concern_v for_o it_o which_o for_o that_o reason_n be_v never_o condemed_a by_o any_o wise_a or_o honest_a man_n neither_o indeed_o can_v it_o be_v censure_v without_o a_o bold_a and_o dangerous_a reflection_n upon_o our_o bless_a saviour_n himself_o and_o together_o with_o he_o upon_o those_o wise_a and_o good_a man_n who_o in_o all_o age_n of_o the_o world_n as_o occasion_n have_v serve_v have_v show_v a_o zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n and_o a_o just_a concern_v for_o the_o preservation_n and_o maintenance_n of_o the_o true_a religion_n it_o be_v true_a indeed_o it_o may_v be_v as_o oftentimes_o it_o have_v be_v join_v with_o ignorance_n or_o excess_n in_o which_o case_n it_o have_v be_v find_v to_o be_v so_o far_o from_o be_v serviceable_a to_o the_o interest_n of_o truth_n that_o it_o have_v rather_o be_v the_o occasion_n of_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o mischief_n in_o the_o world_n but_o on_o the_o other_o hand_n to_o disparage_v and_o expose_v it_o without_o any_o just_a restriction_n and_o limitation_n be_v to_o introduce_v a_o coldness_n and_o indifference_n among_o man_n in_o the_o great_a affair_n of_o religion_n which_o in_o time_n may_v end_v in_o the_o ruin_n and_o extinction_n of_o it_o perhaps_o it_o will_v be_v say_v that_o he_o do_v not_o design_n to_o condemn_v zeal_n absolute_o and_o for_o itself_o but_o as_o it_o be_v to_o be_v find_v in_o conjunction_n with_o some_o other_o ill_a qualification_n which_o be_v apt_a to_o corrupt_v and_o spoil_v it_o the_o best_a thing_n be_v

impossible_a for_o he_o to_o do_v otherwise_o than_o he_o have_v do_v unless_o he_o will_v be_v content_a to_o be_v trample_v upon_o by_o every_o scribbler_n now_o this_o be_v a_o reason_n i_o think_v that_o be_v whole_o owe_v to_o his_o gild_n and_o some_o unreasonable_a fear_n which_o be_v consequent_a thereupon_o sure_o he_o be_v conscious_a to_o himself_o that_o his_o credit_n run_v low_a and_o that_o he_o be_v much_o fall_v in_o the_o esteem_n of_o many_o who_o former_o have_v a_o good_a opinion_n of_o he_o he_o be_v sensible_a that_o his_o adversary_n have_v foil_v he_o which_o some_o perhaps_o may_v call_v run_v he_o down_o and_o now_o he_o be_v afraid_a that_o the_o bystander_n shall_v trample_v upon_o he_o what_o person_n who_o be_v abroad_o may_v do_v i_o can_v tell_v but_o as_o for_o the_o member_n whether_o scribbler_n or_o no_o scribbler_n of_o the_o university_n notwithstanding_o this_o humiliation_n i_o be_o apt_a to_o think_v that_o they_o never_o intend_v to_o
