the_o former_a nonconformist_n hold_v armenianisme_n that_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o of_o freewill_n in_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n of_o universal_a grace_n and_o universal_a redemption_n to_o be_v

do_v this_o know_v very_o well_o what_o arminianism_n be_v though_o perhaps_o he_o may_v be_v ignorant_a of_o the_o name_n which_o be_v not_o at_o all_o material_a in_o the_o controversy_n and_o indeed_o i_o wonder_v you_o can_v so_o confident_o plead_v for_o communion_n with_o arminian_n and_o that_o with_o a_o etc._n etc._n too_o when_o you_o former_o tell_v we_o disputation_n that_o in_o the_o point_n of_o predestination_n redemption_n freewill_n effectual_a grace_n perseverance_n and_o assurance_n of_o salvation_n the_o jesuit_n and_o arminian_n do_v teach_v the_o same_o doctrine_n sir_n i_o hope_v you_o do_v not_o intend_v to_o enlarge_v your_o communion_n so_o far_o as_o to_o take_v in_o the_o jesuit_n also_o if_o you_o do_v pray_v deal_v clear_o with_o we_o and_o tell_v we_o

protestant_a doctrine_n so_o derogatory_n from_o the_o self-evidencing_a light_n and_o divine_a authority_n of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n contain_v in_o the_o scripture_n and_o so_o full_o agree_v with_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o jesuit_n in_o this_o point_n that_o all_o which_o you_o have_v write_v pretend_o for_o the_o defence_n of_o the_o scripture_n when_o indeed_o you_o betray_v it_o

for_o the_o papist_n no_o more_o than_o for_o a_o samaritan_n or_o a_o idolater_n but_o you_o tell_v we_o that_o 38._o you_o confess_v you_o affect_v not_o the_o honour_n of_o that_o orthodoxousness_n
