person_n for_o instance_n ambassador_n vice-roys_n syndics_n and_o in_o the_o more_o inferior_a station_n the_o tutor_n sustain_v the_o person_n of_o the_o pupil_n the_o guardian_n of_o the_o minor_a

into_o some_o warm_a thought_n what_o be_v this_o all_o the_o fruit_n of_o his_o pompous_a ostentation_n of_o the_o civil_a law_n that_o to_o sustain_v the_o person_n of_o sinner_n be_v to_o do_v somewhat_o for_o their_o advantage_n why_o this_o be_v socinus_n and_o crellius_n all_o over_o what_o they_o and_o the_o rest_n of_o that_o bran_n and_o leaven_n contend_v for_o they_o will_v allow_v nay_o they_o plead_v that_o christ_n act_v in_o the_o name_n and_o for_o the_o sake_n for_o the_o benefit_n and_o advantage_n of_o other_o but_o by_o no_o mean_n that_o he_o die_v proper_o in_o their_o stead_n they_o ready_o grant_v that_o christ_n come_v as_o a_o ambassador_n from_o god_n to_o reveal_v his_o will_n to_o the_o son_n of_o man_n and_o to_o treat_v with_o they_o about_o their_o return_n to_o god_n for_o this_o belong_v only_o to_o his_o prophetical_a office_n and_o herein_o christ_n sustain_v not_o the_o person_n of_o sinner_n but_o of_o the_o father_n who_o send_v he_o and_o because_o the_o r._n r._n b._n of_o worcester_n have_v speak_v so_o full_o to_o this_o point_n i_o will_v once_o again_o transcribe_v his_o word_n there_o be_v say_v this_o learned_a person_n such_o a_o change_n of_o person_n as_o imply_v that_o one_o be_v appoint_v and_o allow_v to_o act_v for_o another_o and_o for_o their_o advantage_n and_o this_o sort_n of_o change_n of_o person_n the_o socinian_o never_o deny_v n._n b._n it_o be_v not_o therefore_o the_o use_n of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o sense_n of_o they_o that_o be_v to_o be_v inquire_v into_o for_o some_o may_v affirm_v a_o change_n of_o person_n and_o yet_o be_v socinian_o and_o other_o may_v deny_v a_o change_n of_o person_n and_o be_v far_o enough_o from_o socinianism_n according_a to_o the_o sense_n in_o which_o they_o be_v understand_v but_o further_o the_o socinian_o will_v allow_v that_o christ_n have_v undertake_v to_o appear_v for_o sinner_n to_o plead_v their_o cause_n as_o a_o advocate_n and_o intercessor_n as_o a_o guardian_n who_o take_v care_n of_o the_o affair_n of_o a_o minor_a in_o his_o nonage_n as_o a_o tutor_n who_o espouse_n the_o concern_v of_o his_o pupil_n but_o the_o orthodox_n affirm_v that_o christ_n be_v our_o priest_n that_o he_o be_v so_o on_o earth_n on_o the_o cross_n that_o he_o osfer_v himself_o up_o as_o a_o sacrifice_n to_o divine_a justice_n and_o that_o he_o execute_v the_o other_o part_n of_o his_o sacerdotal_a function_n in_o heaven_n by_o intercession_n but_o the_o socinian_o contend_v that_o he_o be_v a_o priest_n only_o in_o heaven_n
