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

by_o the_o same_o argument_n i_o will_v prove_v that_o the_o divine_a decree_n and_o the_o attribute_n of_o god_n and_o his_o providence_n be_v no_o part_n of_o christianity_n because_o these_o word_n

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
