under_o his_o eternal_a wrath._n with_o this_o belief_n i_o content_v myself_o and_o firm_o hold_v that_o god_n be_v not_o nor_o can_v be_v the_o author_n of_o any_o evil_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o good_n i_o believe_v that_o man_n damnation_n be_v pure_o and_o original_o from_o his_o own_o wickedness_n and_o that_o his_o eternal_a destruction_n be_v not_o from_o any_o decree_n of_o god_n which_o whosoever_o say_v do_v at_o the_o same_o time_n affirm_v that_o god_n do_v damn_v he_o for_o what_o he_o can_v possible_o avoid_v on_o the_o other_o side_n i_o believe_v that_o no_o man_n can_v save_v himself_o but_o that_o the_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n be_v the_o only_a and_o sole_a author_n and_o cause_n of_o salvation_n and_o that_o he_o alone_o purify_v the_o corrupt_a will_n and_o heart_n of_o man_n adapt_a and_o prepare_v they_o to_o receive_v his_o grace_n and_o save_a truth_n through_o the_o power_n and_o influence_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n this_o be_v my_o creed_n in_o this_o point_n and_o here_o i_o rest_n not_o propose_v it_o by_o way_n of_o imposition_n on_o other_o but_o to_o show_v that_o this_o moderate_a middle_a path_n which_o in_o my_o judgement_n be_v sound_a and_o orthodox_n and_o will_v lead_v we_o to_o the_o desirable_a mansion_n of_o peace_n out_o of_o which_o our_o pulpit-war_n have_v a_o long_a time_n keep_v we_o i_o doubt_v some_o intemperate_a zealot_n that_o will_v as_o soon_o part_v with_o their_o eye_n as_o their_o notion_n will_v be_v grumble_a at_o what_o i_o say_v as_o too_o favourable_a to_o one_o side_n or_o other_o but_o as_o i_o regard_v not_o unjust_a censure_n so_o i_o challenge_v they_o to_o mend_v it_o methinks_v if_o these_o general_a truth_n and_o some_o such_o like_a be_v enough_o for_o the_o people_n to_o know_v they_o do_v the_o church_n no_o good_a service_n that_o instead_o of_o preach_v practical_a duty_n will_v needs_o be_v frighten_v the_o auditory_a with_o hide_a decree_n absolute_a reprobation_n and_o some_o such_o new_a make_v thunderbolt_n able_a to_o scare_v they_o into_o despair_n god_n command_v his_o gospel_n to_o be_v preach_v to_o all_o the_o world_n that_o such_o as_o will_v receive_v it_o shall_v be_v save_v but_o these_o man_n have_v get_v you_o a_o hide_a decree_n which_o damn_v the_o great_a part_n of_o mankind_n yet_o without_o the_o hand_n of_o any_o heavenly_a notary_n to_o testify_v it_o and_o pray_v tell_v i_o what_o be_v it_o more_o or_o less_o than_o to_o mock_v the_o poor_a people_n to_o invite_v they_o to_o believe_v etc._n etc._n when_o it_o be_v impossible_a for_o they_o save_o to_o do_v it_o if_o their_o name_n be_v register_v in_o that_o black_a and_o irreversible_a muster_n roll._n i_o do_v not_o design_n to_o reflect_v upon_o any_o nor_o do_v i_o list_v myself_o with_o those_o who_o follow_v arminius_n or_o calvin_n i_o be_o sorry_a to_o find_v extreme_n on_o both_o hand_n i_o will_v only_o beseech_v dissenter_n to_o preach_v necessary_a truth_n and_o let_v the_o hide_a decree_n of_o god_n alone_o with_o other_o unnecessary_a notion_n which_o practice_n will_v undoubted_o be_v of_o great_a and_o useful_a consequenc_n and_o will_v preventthe_v bawl_v of_o such_o author_n as_o this_o be_v who_o i_o believe_v will_v not_o quarrel_v with_o what_o i_o here_o write_v nor_o charge_v his_o horrible_a consequence_n upon_o it_o and_o yet_o i_o be_o sure_a all_o sober_a dissenter_n be_v of_o this_o mind_n for_o i_o never_o yet_o meet_v any_o of_o they_o but_o upon_o a_o sober_a debate_n as_o

confound_v the_o plain_a and_o honest_a christian_a i_o have_v be_v the_o long_o about_o this_o tolet_n this_o author_n know_v that_o his_o charge_n of_o heresy_n be_v stretch_v unreasonable_o wide_a and_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v gain_v thus_o much_o by_o take_v notice_n of_o this_o pamphlet_n that_o upon_o a_o serious_a and_o unbiased_a perusal_n of_o this_o few_o remark_n any_o reader_n of_o common_a capacity_n will_v see_v a_o necessity_n of_o better_a argument_n than_o he_o use_v and_o it_o be_v hope_v that_o our_o church_n will_v use_v that_o way_n of_o reduce_v dissenter_n viz._n mild_a christian_a debate_n and_o conference_n sober_a brotherly_a persuasion_n with_o hearty_a prayer_n for_o each_o other_o which_o be_v the_o church_n weapon_n of_o the_o primitive_a christian_n
