within_o the_o compass_n of_o the_o four_o sea_n by_o the_o same_o way_n of_o argue_v i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v no_o part_n of_o christianity_n as_o

of_o satisfaction_n because_o the_o word_n be_v not_o mention_v in_o the_o bible_n be_v there_o any_o reason_n then_o to_o own_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o christianity_n see_v the_o word_n be_v not_o

all_o that_o can_v be_v say_v be_v that_o infamation_n be_v a_o dainty_a term_n that_o he_o be_v much_o take_v with_o and_o according_o he_o resolve_v that_o it_o shall_v come_v in_o some_o where_o

and_o meaning_n of_o the_o word_n there_o it_o be_v this_o that_o the_o socinian_n doctrine_n be_v infamous_a and_o that_o i_o have_v right_o represent_v they_o as_o such_o and_o that_o this_o writer_n who_o dare_v not_o show_v his_o head_n or_o subscribe_v his_o name_n be_v not_o able_a to_o disprove_v either_o of_o these_o thing_n thus_o it_o be_v the_o deserve_a lot_n of_o this_o sort_n

good_a man_n see_v and_o abhor_v next_o as_o to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o my_o late_a discourse_n it_o be_v to_o be_v observe_v that_o he_o make_v no_o reply_n to_o the_o imputation_n of_o that_o tendency_n to_o irreligion_n and_o atheism_n which_o i_o so_o often_o urge_v and_o as_o often_o prove_v against_o the_o man_n of_o racovia_n and_o the_o very_a english_a unitarian_n and_o indeed_o i_o be_v not_o singular_a in_o this_o impeachment_n of_o they_o for_o i_o evince_v it_o to_o be_v the_o persuasion_n of_o other_o of_o great_a judgement_n and_o sagacity_n that_o sundry_a of_o the_o socinian_n opinion_n have_v a_o natural_a vergency_n to_o infidelity_n and_o impiety_n and_o one_o that_o have_v write_v since_o and_o profess_v to_o the_o treat_v the_o socinian_o with_o civility_n and_o good_a temper_n and_o will_v be_v so_o treat_v by_o they_o again_o as_o he_o bespeak_v their_o kindness_n in_o his_o preface_n be_v not_o rich_a of_o use_v this_o very_a language_n but_o in_o plain_a and_o downright_a term_n tell_v we_o that_o 13._o the_o general_a principle_n on_o which_o the_o body_n of_o socinianism_n turn_v be_v of_o that_o nature_n that_o it_o advance_v the_o most_o

he_o that_o be_v once_o a_o deist_n be_v in_o a_o hopeful_a way_n to_o be_v a_o aiheist_n whenever_o he_o please_v and_o afterward_o thus_o in_o his_o address_n to_o the_o socinian_o the_o consequence_n of_o your_o principle_n viz._n that_o nothing_o be_v to_o be_v believe_v but_o what_o they_o can_v comprehend_v lead_v you_o not_o only_o out_o of_o christianity_n but_o out_o of_o all_o religion_n whether_o natural_a or_o reveal_v even_o beyond_o deism_n even_o into_o atheism_n itself_o and_o again_o he_o tell_v they_o that_o their_o principle_n of_o believe_v nothing_o but_o what_o they_o can_v comprehend_v direct_o lead_v to_o atheism_n it_o seem_v then_o that_o though_o atheism_n be_v vote_v by_o some_o a_o rude_a and_o unmannerly_a word_n and_o though_o atheist_n be_v think_v to_o be_v a_o ungenteel_a term_n wherefore_o the_o plausible_a and_o modish_a style_n of_o deist_n be_v use_v and_o be_v trinity_n a_o name_n that_o gain_v reputation_n among_o all_o such_o as_o hate_v religion_n but_o know_v not_o how_o otherwise_o to_o distinguish_v themselves_o from_o profess_a atheist_n which_o they_o will_v by_o no_o mean_n be_v take_v for_o though_o i_o say_v the_o
