a_o four_o letter_n concern_v the_o sacred_a trinity_n in_o reply_n to_o what_o be_v entitle_v a_o answer_n to_o d_o r_o wallis_n three_o letter_n by_o john_n wallis_n d._n d._n london_n print_v for_o tho._n parkhurst_n at_o the_o bible_n and_o three_o crown_n in_o cheapside_n 1691._o a_o four_o letter_n concern_v the_o sacred_a trinity_n sir_n in_o a_o former_a answer_n from_o i_o know_v not_o who_o to_o my_o first_o and_o second_o letter_n we_o have_v two_o person_n a_o friend_n and_o his_o neighbour_n in_o one_o man._n of_o which_o i_o have_v give_v account_n in_o my_o three_o letter_n we_o have_v now_o a_o answer_n to_o that_o also_o but_o whether_o from_o the_o friend_n or_o the_o neighbour_n or_o from_o a_o three_o person_n he_o do_v not_o tell_v i_o yet_o all_o the_o three_o person_n may_v for_o aught_o i_o know_v be_v the_o same_o man._n however_o whether_o it_o be_v or_o be_v not_o the_o same_o man_n it_o be_v not_o amiss_o for_o he_o to_o act_v a_o three_o person_n as_o of_o a_o adversary_n as_o be_v thereby_o not_o oblige_v to_o insist_v upon_o and_o maintain_v what_o be_v before_o say_v but_o may_v fair_o decline_v it_o if_o he_o please_v the_o one_o may_v grant_v what_o the_o other_o deny_v and_o deny_v what_o the_o other_o grant_v and_o still_o as_o the_o scene_z change_n the_o man_n may_v act_n another_o person_n and_o so_o i_o find_v it_o be_v as_o for_o instance_n the_o former_a answerer_n take_v it_o unkind_o and_o will_v have_v it_o think_v a_o calumny_n that_o i_o charge_v it_o on_o some_o of_o the_o socinian_o that_o how_o clear_a soever_o the_o expression_n of_o scripture_n be_v for_o our_o purpose_n they_o will_v not_o believe_v it_o as_o be_v inconsistent_a with_o natural_a reason_n and_o though_o they_o do_v not_o think_v fit_a to_o give_v we_o a_o bare-faced_n rejection_n of_o scripture_n yet_o they_o do_v and_o must_v they_o tell_v we_o put_v such_o a_o force_a sense_n on_o the_o word_n as_o to_o make_v they_o signify_v somewhat_o else_o therefore_o to_o show_v that_o this_o be_v not_o a_o calumny_n but_o a_o clear_a truth_n i_o cite_v their_o own_o word_n and_o quote_v the_o place_n where_o they_o be_v to_o be_v find_v wherein_o themselves_o say_v the_o same_o thing_n in_o as_o full_a expression_n as_o any_o that_o i_o have_v charge_v they_o with_o that_o every_o one_o be_v to_o interpret_v the_o scripture_n according_a to_o his_o own_o sense_n and_o what_o so_o seem_v grateful_a to_o he_o he_o be_v to_o embrace_v and_o maintain_v though_o the_o whole_a world_n be_v against_o it_o that_o he_o be_v not_o to_o heed_v what_o man_n teach_v or_o think_v or_o have_v at_o any_o time_n teach_v or_o think_v whoever_o they_o be_v or_o have_v be_v or_o how_o many_o soever_o that_o though_o even_o in_o the_o sacred_a monument_n it_o be_v find_v write_v not_o once_o only_o but_o many_o time_n he_o shall_v not_o yet_o for_o all_o that_o believe_v it_o so_o to_o be_v that_o what_o plain_o appear_v can_v be_v or_o as_o be_v before_o explain_v what_o he_o think_v so_o though_o all_o the_o world_n beside_o think_v otherwise_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admit_v even_o though_o in_o the_o sacred_a oracle_n it_o appear_v to_o be_v express_o affirm_v but_o those_o sacred_a word_n be_v to_o be_v interpret_v though_o it_o be_v by_o unusual_a way_n or_o trope_n to_o some_o other_o sense_n than_o what_o they_o speak_v that_o because_o it_o seem_v to_o he_o absurd_a he_o must_v with_o augustine_n good_a leave_n and_o of_o the_o rest_n who_o think_v as_o he_o do_v put_v a_o force_n how_o great_a soever_o upon_o paul_n word_n rather_o than_o to_o admit_v such_o sense_n that_o if_o our_o reason_n dictate_v to_o we_o aught_o otherwise_o than_o the_o scripture_n do_v it_o be_v a_o error_n to_o say_v that_o in_o such_o case_n we_o be_v rather_o to_o believe_v the_o scripture_n now_o our_o new_a answerer_n though_o he_o will_v still_o have_v it_o to_o be_v a_o calumny_n shuffle_n it_o off_o with_o this_o he_o be_v not_o concern_v that_o socinus_n or_o any_o other_o author_n have_v drop_v imprudent_a word_n and_o leave_v it_o to_o the_o socinian_n to_o answer_v pag._n 10._o for_o he_o be_v now_o

scripture_n in_o competition_n with_o humane_a reason_n again_o when_o i_o have_v speak_v of_o our_o immortal_a soul_n in_o its_o separate_a existence_n after_o death_n as_o of_o a_o intellectual_a

i_o cite_v socinus_n own_o word_n where_o he_o express_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o soul_n after_o death_n do_v not_o subsist_v nor_o do_v so_o live_v as_o to_o be_v then_o in_o a_o capacity_n of_o be_v

for_o such_o a_o suspicion_n without_o be_v uncharitable_a nor_o do_v this_o new_a answerer_n clear_a socinus_n or_o himself_o from_o this_o suspicion_n only_o tell_v we_o pag._n 10._o it_o be_v a_o
