other_o point_n lie_v deep_a in_o the_o foundation_n see_v upon_o it_o depend_v that_o resolution_n whether_o our_o saviour_n have_v a_o be_v before_o he_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n or_o no_o

before_o but_o ascend_v or_o be_v take_v up_o thither_o only_o after_o he_o be_v so_o bear_v and_o have_v be_v sometime_o in_o the_o flesh_n now_o the_o holy_a scripture_n abound_v with_o so_o many_o plain_a proof_n that_o our_o saviour_n come_v down_o from_o heaven_n nine_o or_o ten_o time_n assert_v in_o that_o one_o chapter_n the_o six_o of_o st._n john_n socinus_n and_o his_o follower_n dare_v

to_o do_v in_o other_o matter_n and_o pretend_v a_o strange_a discovery_n of_o a_o figurative_a sense_n and_o interpret_v our_o saviour_n be_v in_o heaven_n either_o by_o his_o heavenly_a meditation_n or_o divine_a knowledge_n but_o when_o he_o come_v down_o do_v he_o leave_v behind_o he_o his_o such_o meditation_n and_o knowledge_n this_o nonsense_n socinus_n be_v soon_o ashamed_a of_o and_o come_v to_o this_o resolution_n that_o our_o saviour_n after_o he_o be_v in_o the_o flesh_n do_v ascend_v in_o person_n into_o heaven_n but_o upon_o the_o time_n when_o he_o do_v so_o he_o and_o his_o

it_o shall_v be_v some_o of_o they_o say_v it_o be_v when_o he_o be_v twelve_o year_n old_a and_o when_o his_o parent_n miss_v he_o crellius_n as_o wo●zog_n schilict_n crellius_n and_o after_o three_o

the_o general_a and_o current_a opinion_n with_o they_o but_o do_v these_o text_n say_v any_o thing_n else_o but_o that_o our_o saviour_n be_v in_o the_o temple_n when_o his_o parent_n seek_v he_o and_o that_o he_o be_v in_o the_o wilderness_n tempt_v of_o the_o devil_n a_o odd_a description_n of_o heaven_n these_o place_n of_o scripture_n then_o will_v not_o do_v have_v they_o any_o other_o we_o hear_v of_o no_o other_o and_o therefore_o we_o may_v be_v bold_a to_o conclude_v there_o be_v no_o ground_n in_o scripture_n for_o that_o great_a point_n that_o be_v the_o basis_n of_o

without_o a_o good_a invention_n to_o make_v a_o discovery_n of_o it_o for_o that_o which_o can_v be_v know_v only_o by_o revelation_n can_v certain_o be_v know_v no_o otherwise_o but_o none_o can_v possible_o imagine_v not_o the_o most_o phansiful_a socinian_n how_o this_o matter_n of_o fact_n can_v ever_o fall_v under_o the_o rational_a understanding_n of_o any_o man_n except_o it_o be_v reveal_v from_o heaven_n if_o reason_n can_v discover_v some_o plausible_a colour_n why_o our_o lord_n shall_v be_v take_v up_o into_o heaven_n before_o his_o passion_n yet_o certain_o that_o he_o be_v so_o be_v matter_n of_o pure_a revelation_n and_o not_o to_o be_v know_v otherwise_o we_o must_v conclude_v also_o that_o this_o their_o great_a principle_n have_v no_o more_o foundation_n in_o sound_a reason_n then_o in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o be_v none_o at_o all_o it_o be_v unscriptural_a and_o no_o reason_n can_v be_v give_v for_o it_o but_o the_o necessity_n of_o it_o to_o support_v a_o hypothesis_n that_o fall_v with_o it_o or_o without_o it_o three_o and_o last_o to_o shut_v up_o all_o it_o be_v not_o only_o not_o found_v either_o enthusiastical_a fanatic_a and_o

what_o earnest_a prayer_n to_o almighty_a god_n do_v laelius_n socinus_n pay_v for_o this_o rare_a great_a and_o notable_a discovery_n but_o be_v it_o any_o more_o than_o dream_n and_o fancy_n if_o it_o deserve_v not_o a_o worse_a name_n though_o it_o commence_a enthusiasm_n i_o shall_v end_v with_o that_o smart_n and_o pertinent_a reflection_n of_o the_o present_a learned_a dean_n of_o st._n
