A47737	The charge of Socinianism against Dr. Tillotson considered in examination of some sermons he has lately published on purpose to clear himself from that imputation, by way of a dialogue betwixt F. a friend of Dr. T's and C. a Catholick Christian : to which is added some reflections upon the second of Dr. Burnet's four discourses, concerning the divinity and death of Christ, printed 1694 : to which is likewise annexed, A supplement upon occasion of A history of religion, lately published, supposed to be wrote by Sir R-- H--d [Robert Howard] : wherein likewise Charles Blount's Great Diana is considered, and both compar'd with Dr. Tillotson's sermons / by a true son of the Church.

justice_n which_o be_v god_n now_o here_o be_v the_o difference_n betwixt_o god_n and_o we_o we_o have_v a_o mixture_n of_o justice_n and_o of_o mercy_n in_o we_o and_o sometime_o we_o exert_v a_o act_n of_o justice_n and_o sometime_o of_o our_o mercy_n justice_n have_v the_o ascendant_n in_o some_o over_o mercy_n and_o in_o other_o mercy_n have_v it_o over_o justice_n therefore_o if_o a_o man_n remit_v without_o satisfaction_n we_o say_v not_o that_o it_o be_v unjust_a in_o he_o because_o he_o than_o exert_v a_o act_n of_o mercy_n only_o but_o none_o say_v that_o this_o proceed_v

god_n mercy_n and_o justice_n do_v not_o thwart_v or_o overcome_v one_o another_o in_o god_n as_o in_o man_n because_o each_o be_v infinite_a in_o god_n if_o you_o can_v apprehend_v how_o infinite_a justice_n and_o mercy_n can_v stand_v together_o behold_v in_o the_o wonderful_a redemption_n of_o man_n justice_n require_v full_a satisfaction_n and_o mercy_n find_v it_o and_o thus_o the_o

have_v open_v their_o eye_n why_o will_v they_o blab_v this_o and_o spoil_v god_n design_n upon_o other_o man_n i_o dare_v say_v he_o will_v tell_v they_o no_o more_o secret_n for_o this_o trick_n it_o terrify_v i_o while_o i_o must_v expose_v the_o wicked_a presumption_n of_o these_o blasphemer_n who_o when_o god_n have_v say_v plain_o that_o hell_n be_v eternal_a and_o christ_n have_v assure_v we_o as_o a_o true_a doctor_n and_o teacher_n of_o his_o church_n that_o the_o fire_n shall_v never_o be_v quench_v will_v persuade_v we_o to_o believe_v they_o contrary_a to_o all_o this_o

and_o to_o carry_v on_o the_o argument_n of_o their_o folly_n that_o they_o shall_v object_v against_o the_o christian_a doctrine_n that_o as_o they_o say_v it_o be_v not_o tell_v plain_a enough_o in_o scripture_n when_o they_o confess_v their_o own_o to_o have_v no_o foundation_n at_o all_o in_o scripture_n they_o think_v they_o have_v a_o right_a to_o call_v god_n to_o a_o account_n for_o

it_o be_v a_o just_a judgement_n that_o those_o who_o prosumptuous_o go_v against_o the_o latter_a shall_v discover_v their_o extreme_a folly_n in_o the_o other_o wherein_o they_o boast_v themselves_o and_o this_o they_o do_v with_o all_o their_o socinian_n brethren_n in_o most_o palpable_a manner_n by_o the_o account_n they_o give_v of_o the_o death_n of_o christ_n for_o upon_o their_o ground_n
