as_o he_o do_v he_o will_v interpret_v these_o word_n of_o st._n john_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d so_o as_o from_o thence_o to_o infer_v that_o the_o only_a one_o great_a god_n be_v incarnate_a the_o unitarian_n interpret_v the_o word_n 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d by_o ratio_fw-la rather_o than_o verbum_fw-la because_o it_o signify_v reason_n more_o primary_o than_o word_n or_o speech_n for_o it_o signify_v a_o word_n or_o speech_n only_o as_o that_o word_n or_o speech_n proceed_v from_o reasonable_a creature_n and_o then_o all_o he_o infer_v from_o that_o text_n the_o word_n be_v make_v flesh_n be_v that_o the_o reason_n or_o wisdom_n of_o god_n be_v communicate_v to_o jesus_n christ_n and_o we_o all_o know_v that_o divine_a wisdom_n may_v be_v communicate_v to_o man_n without_o the_o incarnation_n of_o god_n so_o that_o if_o the_o unitarian_n must_v be_v send_v to_o smithfield_n it_o be_v not_o for_o blaspheme_v god_n or_o his_o holy_a word_n but_o because_o they_o according_a to_o the_o best_a of_o their_o judgement_n interpret_v and_o infer_v otherwise_o than_o mr._n gailhard_n do_v but_o bonner_n have_v this_o advantage_n that_o the_o roman_a clergy_n of_o his_o day_n be_v agree_v together_o with_o he_o in_o the_o point_n upon_o which_o he_o condemn_v latimer_n but_o you_o complain_v that_o the_o present_a clergy_n of_o the_o church_n of_o england_n be_v not_o agree_v in_o their_o defence_n of_o the_o trinitarian_n doctrine_n by_o reason_n that_o most_o of_o they_o maintain_v it_o upon_o arminian_n principle_n and_o you_o think_v it_o can_v

of_o his_o print_n he_o say_v that_o the_o calvinistical_a hypothesis_n represent_v god_n as_o a_o omnipotent_a devil_n now_o though_o the_o doctor_n need_v not_o have_v use_v such_o hard_a word_n to_o express_v his_o sense_n of_o that_o horrible_a decree_n which_o some_o man_n think_v to_o have_v be_v of_o god_n make_v yet_o when_o a_o man_n shall_v consider_v how_o contrary_a the_o reprobation-system_a be_v to_o the_o best_a idea_n we_o can_v form_v of_o god_n he_o will_v think_v it_o little_o less_o than_o blaspheme_v the_o divine_a goodness_n and_o if_o the_o arminian_o of_o this_o age_n have_v the_o same_o furious_a zeal_n for_o the_o glory_n of_o god_n which_o you_o have_v show_v the_o blasphemous_a calvinist_n may_v be_v in_o danger_n of_o follow_v bartholomew_n
