man_n to_o profess_v their_o mind_n sincere_o because_o we_o can_v always_o be_v sure_a whether_o they_o do_v or_o no_o this_o be_v admirable_a logic_n we_o must_v then_o never_o administer_v a_o oath_n because_o we_o can_v tell_v for_o all_o that_o whether_o the_o person_n speak_v the_o real_a truth_n or_o no._n but_o if_o this_o be_v true_a there_o be_v no_o need_n of_o dispute_v a_o latitude_n of_o faith_n for_o man_n may_v take_v this_o latitude_n whether_o we_o will_v or_o no._n but_o to_o exact_v this_o may_v breed_v hypocrisy_n not_o if_o his_o latitude_n of_o faith_n be_v allow_v for_o then_o man_n may_v sincere_o profess_v their_o faith_n in_o any_o word_n which_o have_v latitude_n enough_o to_o excuse_v from_o hypocrisy_n which_o if_o we_o will_v believe_v he_o all_o word_n have_v whether_o find_v in_o scripture_n or_o use_v by_o the_o ancient_a church_n but_o must_v nothing_o be_v do_v from_o whence_o bad_a man_n may_v take_v occasion_n to_o be_v hypocrite_n then_o i_o be_o sure_a virtue_n must_v not_o be_v encourage_v nor_o vice_n punish_v because_o some_o may_v hence_o take_v occasion_n to_o counterfeit_a virtue_n when_o they_o be_v not_o sincere_o virtuous_a and_o i_o hope_v he_o will_v not_o say_v that_o require_v a_o inward_a belief_n make_v man_n hypocrite_n any_o other_o way_n it_o be_v not_o design_v for_o that_o end_n it_o do_v not_o command_v nor_o force_v man_n to_o be_v hypocrite_n and_o if_o man_n will_v be_v hypocrite_n who_o can_v help_v it_o nay_o certain_o if_o our_o church_n require_v only_o his_o peaceable_a submission_n in_o what_o she_o teach_v of_o the_o trinity_n she_o may_v be_v more_o just_o accuse_v of_o encourage_v hypocrisy_n for_o what_o else_o will_v it_o be_v to_o oblige_v man_n daily_o to_o worship_v the_o trinity_n when_o she_o do_v not_o suppose_v nor_o desire_v they_o to_o believe_v any_o such_o thing_n and_o to_o profess_v their_o faith_n in_o three_o person_n when_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v one_o word_n of_o that_o doctrine_n but_o it_o can_v be_v a_o seed_n of_o charity_n and_o christian_a concord_n to_o exact_v this_o inward_a belief_n but_o i_o think_v it_o be_v great_a charity_n to_o the_o soul_n of_o man_n to_o exact_v such_o a_o faith_n as_o be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n as_o for_o charity_n to_o the_o body_n of_o man_n write_v against_o their_o heresy_n break_v no_o bone_n and_o if_o by_o concord_n he_o mean_v a_o unity_n of_o faith_n which_o be_v the_o only_a concord_n we_o be_v now_o concern_v about_o such_o a_o latitude_n as_o admit_v of_o twenty_o several_a sort_n of_o faith_n can_v be_v this_o concord_n and_o whenever_o there_o be_v such_o a_o concord_n as_o a_o universal_a liberty_n of_o faith_n signify_v which_o can_v be_v only_o a_o civil_a and_o political_a concord_n i_o desire_v he_o to_o tell_v i_o whether_o ever_o he_o find_v a_o great_a unity_n in_o the_o faith_n or_o less_o dispute_v for_o it_o after_o some_o usual_a compliment_n pass_v upon_o the_o dean_n and_o his_o hypothesis_n which_o deserve_v to_o be_v scorn_v not_o to_o be_v answer_v he_o come_v to_o dr._n wallis_n his_o three_o somewhat_n the_o dean_n say_v that_o when_o dr._n wallis_n call_v the_o three_o person_n three_o somewhat_n thereby_o he_o only_o mean_v that_o the_o true_a notion_n of_o a_o person_n he_o do_v not_o know_v that_o be_v that_o tho_o as_o the_o doctor_n say_v a_o person_n in_o divini●_n be_v analogous_a to_o a_o person_n in_o humanis_fw-la yet_o by_o what_o peculiar_a name_n to_o distinguish_v they_o he_o can_v not_o tell_v and_o therefore_o call_v they_o somewhat_n which_o as_o the_o dean_n say_v must_v signify_v that_o three_o person_n be_v three_o real_a subsistency_n and_o three_o real_a thing_n not_o a_o sabellian_n trinity_n of_o mere_a name_n and_o if_o he_o can_v think_v this_o a_o good_a occasion_n to_o ridicule_n the_o trinity_n in_o our_o prayer_n and_o doxology_n by_o the_o name_n of_o three_o somewhat_n he_o be_v not_o a_o fit_a man_n either_o for_o the_o dean_n or_o any_o sober_a christian_a to_o dispute_n with_o but_o now_o for_o his_o unavoidable_a consequence_n of_o not_o know_v the_o true_a notion_n of_o a_o person_n that_o we_o then_o worship_v we_o know_v not_o what_o i_o have_v hardly_o meet_v with_o any_o thing_n more_o empty_a and_o weak_a if_o we_o have_v not_o the_o true_a that_o be_v full_a notion_n of_o a_o person_n therefore_o we_o worship_v we_o know_v not_o what_o when_o we_o worship_v three_o person_n he_o may_v as_o well_o have_v conclude_v that_o because_o we_o have_v not_o a_o complete_a notion_n of_o god_n nor_o of_o several_a of_o his_o attribute_n as_o omnipotence_n omniscience_n etc._n etc._n all_o which_o we_o allow_v to_o be_v incomprehensible_a therefore_o we_o worship_v we_o know_v not_o what_o when_o we_o worship_v a_o omnipotent_a and_o omniscient_a that_o be_v a_o incomprehensible_a god_n but_o now_o since_o he_o pretend_v to_o own_o a_o trinity_n and_o have_v ridicule_v somewhat_v and_o do_v little_o less_o for_o the_o word_n person_n i_o will_v desire_v to_o know_v what_o he_o worship_v when_o he_o say_v that_o prayer_n in_o the_o
