both_o man_n of_o learning_n and_o i_o suppose_v method_n too_o without_o which_o learning_n be_v of_o no_o use_n and_o become_v only_o a_o large_a heap_n of_o rich_a material_n without_o beauty_n or_o strength_n because_o without_o order_n or_o disposition_n socin_n all_o that_o i_o can_v perceive_v of_o both_o side_n be_v very_o little_a reason_n or_o argument_n but_o a_o world_n of_o heat_n and_o clamour_n perpetual_a reflection_n either_o on_o the_o church_n or_o the_o socinian_o rude_a expression_n and_o a_o insufferable_a shift_a and_o run_v from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o orthod_n true_o this_o be_v the_o misery_n of_o dispute_n which_o for_o want_v of_o good_a and_o sincere_a management_n become_v a_o fatigue_n and_o a_o labour_n not_o to_o be_v overcome_v book_n come_v as_o much_o short_a of_o it_o as_o conversation_n the_o writer_n and_o the_o reader_n be_v equal_o unfortunate_a in_o this_o the_o one_o not_o give_v that_o which_o they_o promise_v and_o the_o other_o be_v disappoint_v of_o that_o which_o they_o look_v for_o and_o that_o be_v information_n socin_n for_o this_o very_a reason_n i_o have_v almost_o vow_v to_o dispute_v no_o more_o i_o will_v hate_v the_o very_a name_n of_o controversy_n and_o no_o book_n of_o that_o nature_n shall_v find_v room_n in_o my_o library_n time_n may_v be_v spend_v much_o better_a than_o in_o endeavour_v to_o understand_v a_o author_n who_o do_v not_o understand_v himself_o a_o infinite_a stock_n of_o patience_n be_v necessary_a to_o bear_v with_o a_o dull_a flat_a and_o insipid_a writer_n nor_o be_v i_o ever_o make_v to_o be_v a_o witness_n to_o all_o their_o heat_n and_o folly_n who_o load_n their_o adversary_n with_o ill_a language_n because_o he_o be_v not_o of_o their_o opinion_n orthod_n i_o be_o not_o of_o your_o mind_n that_o which_o be_v good_a can_v cease_v to_o be_v such_o because_o it_o be_v abuse_v inquiry_n after_o truth_n be_v the_o noble_a endeavour_n as_o well_o as_o the_o most_o natural_a inclination_n of_o mankind_n and_o dispute_v be_v the_o way_n which_o lead_v to_o it_o it_o be_v by_o compare_v argument_n with_o argument_n and_o reason_n with_o reason_n that_o at_o last_o it_o do_v appear_v in_o the_o state_n of_o weakness_n that_o we_o be_v in_o think_v and_o reflection_n be_v the_o only_a help_n we_o have_v and_o it_o be_v from_o strike_v the_o steal_n and_o the_o flint_n together_o that_o the_o bless_a fire_n break_v out_o which_o improve_v remove_v our_o darkness_n we_o have_v very_o few_o self-evident_a principle_n and_o from_o they_o we_o do_v not_o always_o draw_v true_a and_o exact_a consequence_n the_o mine_n must_v be_v open_v and_o dig_v with_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o labour_n till_o we_o come_v to_o the_o precious_a ore_n but_o once_o find_v it_o yield_v a_o inestimable_a treasure_n in_o a_o word_n it_o be_v by_o the_o opposition_n and_o difference_n of_o man_n in_o their_o opinion_n that_o we_o come_v to_o examine_v reflect_v inquire_v and_o at_o last_o find_v out_o the_o truth_n socin_n i_o grant_v all_o this_o but_o when_o dispute_v be_v so_o whole_o pervert_v as_o to_o become_v a_o sanctuary_n to_o error_n when_o two_o contend_a party_n be_v so_o obstinate_a as_o not_o to_o yield_v the_o least_o point_n and_o it_o be_v no_o more_o whether_o what_o i_o say_v be_v true_a but_o what_o i_o say_v must_v be_v true_a when_o book_n be_v fill_v up_o and_o grow_v to_o large_a volume_n and_o yet_o nothing_o to_o the_o purpose_n when_o all_o degenerate_v into_o heat_n and_o passion_n i_o think_v it_o time_n to_o have_v do_v keep_v my_o sense_n of_o thing_n to_o myself_o and_o meddle_v no_o more_o with_o dispute_n orthod_n what_o you_o say_v be_v too_o true_a we_o have_v a_o large_a experience_n that_o several_a have_v write_v of_o subject_n which_o they_o never_o understand_v and_o other_o have_v pretend_a to_o answer_v objection_n which_o they_o have_v whole_o mistake_v like_o those_o translator_n who_o have_v assassinate_v several_a author_n and_o disfigure_v many_o admirable_a and_o original_a piece_n for_o want_v of_o understand_v both_o the_o language_n out_o of_o which_o they_o translate_v and_o their_o own_o which_o they_o translate_v into_o it_o be_v also_o evident_a that_o divine_a matter_n have_v be_v treat_v with_o very_o little_a piety_n as_o if_o god_n be_v not_o to_o be_v consult_v when_o man_n presume_v to_o speak_v of_o he_o and_o the_o heart_n as_o well_o as_o the_o mind_n be_v not_o to_o guide_v the_o hand_n of_o the_o writer_n but_o yet_o for_o all_o this_o there_o be_v book_n of_o this_o kind_n which_o can_v be_v sufficient_o admire_v so_o clear_v they_o be_v and_o yet_o so_o concise_a so_o eloquent_a and_o yet_o so_o grave_a so_o candid_a and_o yet_o so_o home_n that_o it_o be_v hard_o to_o say_v whether_o they_o be_v more_o commend_v by_o the_o present_a age_n or_o shall_v be_v more_o admire_v by_o posterity_n socin_n pray_o where_o be_v those_o phoenix_n to_o be_v find_v for_o they_o be_v so_o rare_a that_o they_o real_o deserve_v that_o name_n orthod_n not_o so_o very_o rare_a neither_o what_o curious_a write_n do_v the_o reign_n of_o charles_n the_o

do_v our_o divine_n argue_v with_o the_o emissary_n of_o rome_n never_o start_v from_o the_o state_n of_o the_o question_n or_o the_o main_a stress_n of_o the_o difficulty_n propose_v and_o in_o this_o of_o william_n the_o three_o when_o the_o socinian_n controversy_n which_o have_v sleep_v some_o year_n begin_v to_o awake_v again_o and_o to_o promise_v itself_o some_o increase_n from_o the_o looseness_n of_o man_n principle_n and_o from_o some_o other_o unhappy_a circumstance_n unknown_a but_o to_o very_a few_o how_o do_v the_o church_n rouse_v up_o and_o with_o what_o zeal_n what_o learning_n what_o success_n do_v they_o oppose_v the_o grow_a heresy_n socin_n i_o own_o that_o some_o good_a book_n have_v be_v write_v against_o the_o nonconformist_n and_o many_o excellent_a one_o against_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n but_o for_o your_o success_n against_o socinianism_n it_o be_v indeed_o much_o to_o be_v admire_v be_v it_o not_o notorious_a that_o all_o your_o write_n have_v not_o bring_v one_o over_o to_o a_o recantation_n and_o that_o though_o the_o sect_n do_v not_o thrive_v much_o in_o the_o country_n where_o conversation_n be_v more_o rare_a yet_o it_o visible_o get_v ground_n in_o the_o town_n there_o be_v scarce_o a_o wit_n but_o what_o be_v a_o socinian_n if_o socinianism_n be_v a_o rank_a poison_n i_o can_v assure_v you_o that_o the_o young_a gentleman_n swallow_v it_o with_o greediness_n one_o whisper_v i_o not_o long_o since_o that_o it_o be_v get_v even_o among_o some_o eminent_a lawyer_n many_o of_o your_o clergy_n themselves_o be_v not_o free_a from_o the_o aspersion_n socinianism_n be_v public_o disow_v and_o hate_v but_o private_o much_o make_v of_o and_o caress_v i_o be_o afraid_a if_o your_o university_n be_v search_v it_o will_v be_v find_v that_o the_o sinful_a weed_n grow_v there_o too_o orthod_n what_o you_o say_v be_v that_o which_o we_o now_o exclaim_v against_o and_o that_o be_v reflect_v but_o when_o all_o be_v do_v the_o trick_n be_v stale_a and_o not_o like_a to_o take_v there_o never_o be_v yet_o so_o despicable_a a_o sect_n in_o the_o world_n but_o what_o be_v willing_a to_o insinuate_v that_o their_o number_n be_v far_o great_a than_o what_o real_o they_o appear_v a_o piece_n of_o vanity_n laugh_v at_o every_o where_n by_o man_n of_o sense_n but_o in_o this_o the_o socinian_o be_v unhappy_a for_o they_o be_v
