shameful_a beg_n of_o the_o question_n every_o contester_n will_v call_v himself_o a_o fair_a reasoner_n socin_n what!_o be_v there_o no_o such_o thing_n then_o as_o fair_a reason_n be_v there_o not_o in_o man_n a_o equitable_a disposition_n to_o judge_v of_o and_o assent_v to_o the_o truth_n orthod_n yes_o certain_o but_o you_o have_v it_o not_o there_o be_v vast_a many_o text_n produce_v to_o assert_v the_o divinity_n of_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n for_o we_o do_v not_o only_o allege_v one_o or_o two_o solitary_a place_n of_o scripture_n but_o we_o maintain_v also_o this_o to_o be_v the_o foundation_n of_o christianity_n and_o teach_v in_o the_o scripture_n plain_o frequent_o irrefragable_o which_o be_v the_o way_n to_o reason_n fair_o in_o this_o case_n first_o it_o be_v to_o see_v the_o sense_n which_o offer_v itself_o in_o the_o text_n which_o we_o produce_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o bring_v in_o a_o instance_n or_o two_o rom._n 9.5_o st._n paul_n speak_v of_o christ_n say_v that_o he_o be_v over_o all_o god_n bless_v for_o ever_o the_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o proposition_n be_v that_o he_o be_v true_o god_n over_o all_o and_o bless_a for_o ever_o be_v the_o notion_n which_o we_o have_v of_o a_o eternal_a be_v you_o can_v without_o a_o incredible_a violence_n make_v any_o other_o sense_n of_o that_o proposition_n the_o same_o be_v phil._n 2.6_o who_o be_v in_o the_o form_n of_o god_n think_v it_o not_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o god_n that_o which_o the_o proposition_n natural_o offer_v be_v that_o christ_n be_v god_n none_o but_o a_o king_n can_v say_v that_o he_o think_v it_o not_o robbery_n to_o be_v equal_a with_o a_o king_n none_o but_o he_o who_o be_v god_n can_v pretend_v a_o equality_n with_o god_n second_o i_o must_v see_v whether_o that_o sense_n which_o offer_v itself_o so_o natural_o to_o i_o have_v the_o same_o effect_n on_o other_o people_n it_o be_v a_o mighty_a confirmation_n to_o i_o that_o i_o take_v a_o proposition_n right_a when_o the_o wise_a the_o good_a the_o inquisitive_a part_n of_o mankind_n take_v it_o as_o i_o do_v now_o our_o text_n have_v not_o only_o the_o advantage_n of_o a_o natural_a evidence_n but_o they_o have_v also_o another_o and_o that_o be_v the_o consent_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n the_o church_n of_o god_n have_v speak_v as_o we_o speak_v understand_v as_o we_o understand_v believe_v as_o we_o believe_v it_o be_v the_o voice_n of_o the_o sacred_a council_n in_o their_o decision_n of_o the_o father_n in_o their_o write_n of_o the_o university_n in_o their_o chair_n and_o of_o all_o christian_n in_o their_o praise_n prayer_n and_o adoration_n you_o own_a it_o to_o i_o and_o you_o say_v that_o it_o be_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o socinian_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o infallible_a divine_a and_o complete_a rule_n of_o faith_n and_o manner_n but_o it_o can_v never_o be_v so_o if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o universal_a sense_n in_o those_o proposition_n in_o which_o the_o faith_n be_v deliver_v for_o to_o who_o be_v it_o a_o rule_n even_o to_o all_o christian_n and_o how_o can_v christian_n follow_v this_o rule_n if_o there_o be_v not_o a_o common_a sense_n in_o which_o they_o may_v be_v unite_v but_o what_o be_v that_o sense_n but_o that_o which_o appear_v to_o the_o church_n in_o the_o proposition_n and_o become_v the_o sense_n of_o the_o church_n a_o sense_n of_o so_o much_o the_o more_o weight_n and_o authority_n because_o no_o scripture_n be_v of_o private_a interpretation_n this_o with_o all_o man_n who_o pretend_v to_o any_o acquaintance_n in_o those_o matter_n be_v fair_a and_o ingenuous_a reason_v socin_n i_o thank_v you_o once_o for_o a_o argument_n in_o the_o behalf_n of_o transuastantiation_n and_o now_o i_o do_v it_o for_o tradition_n the_o denial_n of_o it_o be_v a_o protestant_a principle_n orthod_n you_o be_v so_o press_v by_o the_o evidence_n of_o what_o i_o offer_v that_o because_o you_o can_v answer_v you_o will_v endeavour_v to_o divert_v it_o know_v then_o by_o the_o way_n that_o protestant_n deny_v and_o that_o on_o very_o good_a ground_n tradition_n to_o be_v the_o last_o and_o

evidence_n in_o the_o world_n the_o unanimous_a consent_n of_o the_o church_n in_o a_o point_n of_o faith_n be_v not_o to_o be_v oppose_v by_o any_o sober_a christian_a but_o to_o return_v let_v we_o see_v what_o be_v your_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a way_n of_o reason_v you_o be_v so_o far_o from_o the_o method_n propose_v by_o i_o that_o you_o reject_v the_o natural_a sense_n of_o the_o text_n some_o you_o must_v give_v i_o leave_v to_o say_v it_o you_o have_v open_o falsify_v as_o for_o instance_n rom._n 9.5_o you_o will_v not_o have_v it_o god_n bless_v but_o god_n be_v bless_v for_o

than_o you_o come_v to_o tell_v we_o of_o fair_a and_o ingenuous_a reason_n of_o your_o elaborate_a print_n to_o prove_v the_o unity_n of_o god_n which_o not_o christian_a ever_o deny_v the_o trinity_n of_o the_o divine_a person_n appear_v so_o visible_o in_o the_o sacred_a write_n that_o if_o you_o design_v to_o deal_v as_o a_o fair_a or_o ingenuous_a reasoner_n you_o must_v either_o

observe_v what_o the_o ingenious_a author_n of_o the_o answer_n to_o mr._n luzancy_n have_v say_v to_o he_o pag._n 44_o 45_o 46._o i_o will_v put_v it_o in_o as_o few_o word_n as_o i_o can_v and_o yet_o i_o hope_v without_o lose_v any_o thing_n of_o the_o force_n of_o the_o argument_n you_o charge_v that_o upon_o the_o scripture_n which_o be_v no_o scripture_n at_o all_o and_o you_o oblige_v we_o to_o believe_v as_o the_o word_n of_o god_n that_o which_o be_v no_o word_n of_o god_n but_o only_o your_o inference_n from_o it_o you_o draw_v conclusion_n those_o conclusion_n you_o rest_v in_o
