A79465	Anti-Socinianism, or, A brief explication of some places of holy Scripture, for the confutation of certain gross errours, and Socinian heresies, lately published by William Pynchion, Gent. in a dialogue of his, called, The meritorious price of our redemption, concerning 1. Christ's suffering the wrath of God due to the elect. 2. God's imputation of sin to Christ. 3. The nature of the true mediatorial obedience of Christ. 4. The justification of a sinner. Also a brief description of the lives, and a true relation of the death, of the authors, promoters, propagators, and chief disseminators of this Socinian heresie, how it sprung up, by what means it spread, and when and by whom it was first brought into England, that so we be not deceived by it. / By N. Chewney, M.A. and minister of God's Word.	Chewney, Nicholas, 1609 or 10-1685.	1656 (1656)	Wing C3804; Thomason E888_1; ESTC R207357	149,812	257

anti-christ_n 1_o john_n 2.22.23_o 1_o joh_n 5.7_o but_o the_o socinian_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n because_o they_o deny_v the_o incarnation_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n which_o be_v urge_v by_o st._n john_n 1_o epistle_n 4.2_o and_o 1._o of_o his_o gospel_n 14._o against_o ebion_n and_o cerinthus_n as_o predecessor_n of_o the_o socinian_n heresy_n and_o although_o in_o word_n they_o confess_v that_o jesus_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o the_o christ_n yet_o in_o deed_n they_o deny_v it_o both_o because_o they_o take_v away_o his_o filiation_n or_o sonship_n whereby_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n by_o generation_n of_o the_o substance_n of_o the_o father_n and_o also_o because_o they_o overthrow_v the_o office_n principal_o design_v to_o he_o by_o

last_o they_o which_o serve_v the_o creature_n beside_o god_n the_o creator_n and_o do_v religious_o worship_v he_o which_o be_v not_o god_n they_o as_o such_o be_v rather_o pagan_n and_o infidel_n

their_o false_a and_o feign_a christ_n who_o they_o themselves_o say_v be_v not_o god_n yet_o give_v he_o divine_a adoration_n therefore_o the_o socinian_o be_v rather_o pagan_n and_o infidel_n then_o
