A40721	The Socinian controversie touching the Son of God reduced, in a brief essay, to prove the Son one in essence with the Father, upon Socinian principles, concessions and reason : concluded with an humble and serious caution to the friends of the Church of England, against the approaches of Socinianism / by F.F. ...

there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o point_n of_o our_o saviour_n eternal_a divinity_n that_o be_v jar_a or_o dissonant_n to_o the_o reason_n of_o mankind_n either_o among_o jew_n infidel_n turk_n or_o

now_o brisk_a effort_n obtain_v or_o not_o 1._o suppose_v it_o shall_v not_o prevail_v among_o we_o but_o dwindle_v away_o as_o it_o have_v hither_o to_o do_v bless_a be_v god_n yet_o let_v our_o

call_v methinks_v you_o shall_v have_v deference_n to_o the_o church_n wherein_o you_o be_v bear_v baptise_a and_o educate_v and_o in_o who_o faith_n and_o worship_n you_o may_v undoubted_o be_v

have_v have_v communion_n with_o the_o catholic_n church_n in_o all_o age_n methinks_v a_o gentleman_n shall_v have_v a_o reluctancy_n and_o abhor_v from_o novelty_n in_o faith_n and_o a_o religion_n that_o be_v bear_v but_o yesterday_o beside_o by_o pry_v into_o socinian_n book_n you_o will_v find_v a_o great_a many_o point_n of_o our_o establish_a faith_n as_o well_o as_o these_o we_o have_v

and_o the_o rather_o because_o some_o be_v bold_a to_o say_v that_o we_o be_v let_v in_o and_o out_o of_o this_o church_n at_o our_o baptism_n and_o death_n only_o with_o the_o single_a creed_n call_v

of_o the_o very_a same_o creed_n she_o tell_v we_o that_o we_o believe_v in_o god_n the_o father_n and_o in_o god_n the_o son_n and_o in_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o when_o we_o be_v catechise_v

that_o we_o can_v assent_v to_o it_o in_o faith_n or_o charity_n especial_o in_o the_o conclusion_n that_o this_o be_v the_o catholic_n faith_n which_o except_o a_o man_n faithful_o believe_v he_o

catholic_n faith_n not_o but_o that_o they_o may_v be_v within_o the_o mercy_n of_o god_n in_o some_o secret_a or_o extraordinary_a way_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n to_o take_v the_o sentence_n so_o strict_o whatever_o athanasius_n think_v as_o to_o damn_v every_o one_o that_o believe_v not_o every_o word_n in_o his_o creed_n there_o be_v a_o large_a and_o lax-sence_n that_o may_v be_v admit_v to_o save_v the_o charity_n of_o our_o church_n from_o denounce_v damnation_n against_o the_o greek_a church_n for_o want_v of_o the_o word_n filioque_fw-la he_o that_o do_v not_o believe_v faithful_o he_o do_v not_o say_v literal_o or_o every_o word_n or_o say_v in_o it_o but_o rather_o the_o substance_n of_o our_o christian_a faith_n touch_v the_o trinity_n and_o the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n this_o seem_v to_o be_v better_o allow_v we_o because_o though_o it_o bear_v the_o name_n of_o athanasius_n creed_n yet_o it_o be_v no_o formal_a creed_n as_o the_o other_o creed_n

to_o say_v this_o creed_n may_v be_v prove_v by_o the_o holy_a scripture_n in_o this_o large_a sense_n i_o doubt_v not_o but_o as_o we_o be_v bind_v to_o repeat_v it_o so_o we_o ought_v to_o believe_v
