question_n they_o ask_v i_o whether_o god_n will_v save_v all_o man_n or_o no_o i_o answer_v that_o what_o the_o scripture_n say_v i_o will_v say_v and_o the_o scripture_n say_v of_o god_n that_o he_o will_v have_v all_o man_n to_o be_v save_v 6._o 1_o tim._n 2.4_o 5_o 6._o and_o to_o come_v unto_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n for_o there_o be_v one_o god_n and_o one_o mediator_n between_o

all_o man_n have_v not_o yet_o this_o testimony_n or_o do_v not_o yet_o believe_v for_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o 5._o john_n 3.18_o 1_o joh_n 5_o 10._o rev._n 1_o 5._o and_o he_o that_o do_v believe_v have_v the_o witness_n in_o himself_o and_o this_o witness_n be_v christ_n a_o three_o question_n be_v whether_o i_o do_v believe_v there_o be_v three_o person_n in_o the_o trinity_n the_o trinity_n i_o acknowledge_v and_o demand_v of_o they_o what_o they_o mean_v by_o person_n whether_o a_o material_a body_n of_o flesh_n and_o bone_n or_o not_o to_o which_o they_o do_v not_o answer_v but_o ask_v i_o again_o if_o there_o be_v not_o three_o distinct_a being_n i_o answer_v 8._o 1_o joh_n 5.7_o 8._o that_o according_a to_o scripture_n there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o heaven_n and_o three_o that_o bear_v witness_n on_o earth_n and_o each_o three_o do_v agree_v in_o one_o so_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o be_v of_o all_o thing_n and_o that_o be_v be_v eternal_a then_o they_o ask_v i_o what_o the_o three_o that_o bear_v witness_n in_o heaven_n be_v and_o whether_o they_o be_v not_o three_o person_n i_o answer_v that_o according_a to_o scripture_n they_o be_v know_v by_o the_o name_n of_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n and_o be_v three_o in_o respect_n of_o manifestation_n to_o the_o creature_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o in_o union_n and_o be_v with_o the_o creator_n and_o father_n of_o all_o thing_n they_o again_o ask_v i_o how_o far_o these_o three_o be_v distinct_a one_o from_o another_o i_o answer_v that_o so_o far_o as_o the_o father_n be_v from_o the_o son_n 11._o joh_n 14_o 10_o 11._o and_o the_o son_n from_o the_o father_n so_o far_o be_v they_o distinct_a one_o from_o another_o and_o thus_o they_o provoke_v and_o urge_v i_o with_o many_o question_n seek_v to_o ensare_n i_o as_o it_o be_v write_v the_o scribe_n and_o pharisee_n do_v by_o christ_n 54._o luk._n 11.53_o 54._o lay_v wait_n for_o he_o and_o seek_v to_o catch_v something_o out_o of_o his_o mouth_n that_o they_o may_v accuse_v he_o but_o i_o answer_v as_o the_o lord_n do_v enable_v i_o and_o according_a to_o scripture_n and_o now_o i_o have_v thus_o answer_v to_o their_o question_n and_o they_o therein_o receive_v nothing_o against_o i_o tell_v i_o that_o i_o have_v former_o speak_v thing_n that_o be_v blasphemy_n and_o they_o will_v question_v i_o for_o that_o i_o tell_v they_o again_o that_o nothing_o of_o blasphemy_n can_v ever_o yet_o be_v prove_v against_o i_o though_o endeavour_v by_o my_o enemy_n and_o what_o i_o have_v be_v former_o charge_v with_o as_o blasphemy_n i_o have_v already_o answer_v and_o now_o shall_v at_o any_o time_n be_v ready_a in_o love_n to_o answer_v they_o or_o any_o other_o that_o shall_v ask_v i_o a_o reason_n of_o the_o hope_n that_o be_v in_o i_o and_o the_o practice_n of_o christian_n as_o they_o profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v i_o tell_v they_o be_v not_o to_o lay_v violent_a hand_n on_o any_o charge_v officer_n with_o they_o for_o speak_v of_o the_o thing_n of_o god_n in_o a_o way_n contrary_a to_o their_o judgement_n or_o apprehension_n and_o so_o to_o make_v a_o man_n a_o offender_n for_o a_o word_n 21_o isa_n ●9_n 21_o and_o how_o we_o never_o find_v in_o scripture_n thar_z a_o christian_a live_v in_o the_o faith_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n do_v ever_o persecute_v accuse_v charge_n judge_n or_o condemn_v any_o in_o point_n of_o worship_n towards_o god_n but_o be_v themselves_o always_o accuse_v judge_v and_o condemn_v by_o other_o that_o believe_v not_o and_o man_n may_v differ_v in_o opinion_n or_o judgement_n of_o thing_n and_o yet_o be_v good_a christian_n but_o though_o we_o may_v thus_o differ_v yet_o let_v we_o be_v reconcile_v together_o in_o love_n
