reader_n to_o judge_v upon_o the_o whole_a whether_o the_o dean_n have_v not_o quite_o overthrow_v this_o state_n of_o his_o question_n and_o sufficient_o demonstrate_v the_o weakness_n of_o all_o he_o urge_v now_o he_o be_v desirous_a to_o know_v where_o be_v the_o mischief_n of_o all_o this_o for_o all_o that_o he_o design_v be_v plain_o no_o more_o then_o to_o move_v for_o peace_n at_o least_o for_o a_o truce_n till_o both_o party_n be_v calm_v and_o may_v calm_o treat_v but_o methinks_v the_o fair_a way_n for_o this_o have_v be_v to_o desire_v both_o party_n to_o hold_v their_o hand_n and_o not_o only_o to_o beseech_v one_o to_o be_v silent_a and_o let_v the_o other_o write_v and_o talk_v and_o rail_v and_o argue_v on_o too_o as_o well_o as_o they_o can_v against_o the_o establish_v doctrine_n but_o methinks_v this_o very_a project_n of_o a_o truce_n do_v not_o seem_v very_o reasonable_a for_o it_o look_v as_o if_o he_o think_v the_o church_n and_o the_o socinian_o to_o be_v upon_o equal_a term_n with_o one_o another_o which_o i_o can_v by_o no_o mean_n grant_v because_o the_o church_n of_o england_n in_o this_o point_n at_o least_o have_v have_v sixteen_o hundred_o year_n prescription_n beside_o the_o authority_n of_o scripture_n and_o reason_n on_o her_o side_n nor_o can_v i_o think_v any_o treaty_n lawful_a in_o such_o fundamental_a point_n but_o that_o all_o catholic_n christian_n be_v bind_v to_o do_v what_o they_o can_v by_o reason_n to_o convince_v these_o man_n of_o their_o error_n and_o reduce_v they_o into_o the_o bosom_n of_o the_o church_n for_o i_o do_v not_o like_o our_o author_n way_n of_o compound_v with_o heretic_n and_o shismaticks_n and_o i_o hope_v posterity_n may_v find_v better_a expedient_n for_o unite_n of_o protestant_n than_o for_o the_o sake_n of_o peace_n to_o give_v up_o truth_n but_o here_o though_o our_o author_n can_v bear_v what_o he_o think_v a_o modest_a and_o just_a reprehension_n yet_o he_o be_v very_o angry_a with_o what_o the_o dean_n say_v and_o look_n upon_o it_o as_o imperious_a beyond_o measure_n especial_o when_o the_o great_a argument_n of_o all_o be_v no_o better_a than_o a_o petitio_fw-la principij_fw-la that_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o dr._n sherlock_n have_v state_v it_o and_o do_v defend_v it_o be_v a_o fundamental_a of_o the_o christian_a faith_n now_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v a_o false_a imputation_n upon_o the_o dean_n who_o do_v indeed_o as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n do_v look_v on_o the_o doctrine_n of_o three_o person_n and_o one_o god_n as_o a_o fundamental_a of_o the_o christian_a faith_n and_o this_o he_o endeavour_v to_o vindicate_v from_o those_o absurdity_n and_o contradiction_n which_o be_v charge_v upon_o it_o and_o give_v such_o a_o explication_n of_o it_o as_o though_o he_o believe_v to_o be_v true_a he_o do_v not_o lay_v down_o as_o necessary_a to_o be_v express_o believe_v by_o all_o nor_o will_v he_o esteem_v any_o man_n a_o heretic_n who_o sincere_o believe_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o church_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o three_o person_n though_o he_o do_v not_o subscribe_v in_o all_o thing_n to_o his_o hypothesis_n and_o therefore_o i_o think_v the_o antapologist_n be_v fall_v into_o a_o fit_a of_o melancholy_n when_o he_o complain_v of_o the_o dean_n 4._o because_o in_o his_o apology_n he_o quit_v his_o adversary_n and_o neglect_v all_o that_o have_v be_v say_v against_o his_o novelty_n and_o fall_v upon_o expose_v the_o peaceable_a man_n now_o i_o shall_v rather_o have_v wonder_v if_o in_o a_o apology_n for_o write_v against_o the_o socinian_o he_o have_v enter_v into_o the_o main_a subject_n of_o debate_n when_o his_o only_a business_n be_v to_o show_v the_o weakness_n of_o such_o earnest_a suit_n as_o desire_v that_o no_o man_n shall_v write_v any_o thing_n in_o the_o present_a controversy_n so_o that_o i_o can_v but_o think_v the_o antapologist_n be_v a_o little_a if_o not_o beside_o himself_o i_o be_o sure_a a_o great_a deal_n beside_o the_o purpose_n to_o make_v it_o a_o matter_n of_o accusation_n against_o the_o dean_n that_o he_o keep_v close_o to_o the_o proper_a subject_n of_o his_o discourse_n for_o i_o will_v here_o only_o ask_v he_o whether_o in_o his_o suit_n he_o undertake_v a_o confutation_n of_o the_o dean_n hypothesis_n if_o he_o do_v not_o than_o i_o hope_v his_o book_n may_v be_v pertinent_o answer_v and_o solid_o confute_v too_o without_o enter_v into_o the_o merit_n of_o that_o cause_n i_o will_v ask_v he_o also_o whether_o he_o do_v not_o address_v to_o all_o learned_a writer_n against_o the_o socinian_o in_o this_o conttoversy_n as_o well_o as_o to_o the_o dean_n and_o whether_o what_o he_o urge_v be_v not_o level_v against_o any_o man_n write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o establish_v doctrine_n as_o well_o as_o of_o the_o dean_n particular_a hypothesis_n if_o so_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o the_o dean_n do_v very_o well_o not_o to_o run_v out_o into_o a_o vindication_n of_o his_o own_o hypothesis_n or_o of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n in_o general_a but_o to_o fall_v upon_o expose_v the_o peaceable_a man_n as_o our_o author_n term_n it_o that_o be_v to_o show_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o all_o his_o plea_n for_o forbearance_n towards_o the_o socinian_o and_o betray_v the_o christian_a faith_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o peace_n and_o moderation_n but_o the_o dean_n do_v not_o like_a that_o the_o faith_n shall_v be_v state_v in_o scripture_n language_n but_o will_v have_v school-term_n pass_v as_o fundamental_a in_o faith_n as_o well_o as_o his_o own_o new_a definition_n and_o new_a notion_n as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o thing_n the_o dean_n do_v and_o that_o on_o very_o good_a reason_n desire_n whether_o the_o melancholy_a stander-by_n can_v admit_v it_o or_o no_o that_o the_o true_a faith_n under_o what_o word_n soever_o it_o be_v express_v and_o not_o mere_o the_o sound_n of_o scripture-word_n shall_v pass_v for_o fundamental_a and_o thus_o far_o he_o be_v for_o school-term_n or_o any_o term_n that_o fix_v the_o true_a sense_n of_o scripture_n but_o as_o to_o the_o other_o branch_n of_o this_o accusation_n it_o be_v false_a and_o ridiculous_a and_o that_o be_v answer_n enough_o to_o it_o as_o for_o the_o uncertain_a signification_n of_o philosophical_a term_n methinks_v he_o shall_v not_o quarrel_v at_o that_o which_o may_v afford_v his_o friend_n the_o better_a shelter_n and_o permit_v every_o one_o under_o the_o same_o word_n to_o couch_v his_o own_o meaning_n and_o it_o seem_v in_o what_o he_o write_v 5._o he_o do_v not_o contest_v either_o of_o these_o point_n and_o yet_o in_o the_o very_a page_n before_o he_o complain_v of_o the_o dean_n because_o in_o his_o answer_n he_o do_v not_o offer_v one_o word_n to_o prove_v his_o own_o new_a notion_n which_o yet_o he_o own_v he_o do_v not_o contest_v with_o he_o and_o be_v still_o as_o willing_a as_o ever_o to_o decline_v engage_v but_o only_o in_o his_o own_o defence_n he_o can_v forbear_v declare_v that_o the_o dean_n have_v to_o his_o power_n overthrow_v the_o true_a catholic_n faith_n of_o the_o nicene_n creed_n as_o much_o as_o philoponus_n or_o joachim_n ever_o do_v nor_o will_v his_o invention_n of_o mutual_a consciousness_n clear_v he_o from_o the_o charge_n of_o infer_v three_o god_n since_o that_o can_v infer_v only_o a_o unity_n of_o accord_n etc._n etc._n this_o he_o say_v but_o do_v not_o here_o go_v about_o to_o prove_v it_o because_o these_o thing_n require_v more_o word_n than_o the_o present_a design_n admit_v and_o it_o may_v be_v more_o reason_n than_o he_o be_v master_n of_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v as_o easy_a for_o i_o and_o as_o allowable_a to_o say_v that_o the_o dean_n mutual_a consciousness_n do_v infer_v more_o than_o a_o unity_n of_o accord_n as_o for_o he_o to_o say_v it_o do_v not_o and_o that_o it_o do_v infer_v full_a as_o great_a if_o not_o a_o great_a unity_n of_o substance_n and_o nature_n than_o the_o word_n of_o the_o nicene_n creed_n express_v and_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o reason_n which_o he_o himself_o have_v give_v i_o shall_v not_o care_v though_o i_o venture_v to_o dispute_v this_o matter_n with_o he_o at_o large_a 3_o as_o for_o his_o next_o section_n i_o do_v not_o know_v well_o what_o to_o make_v of_o it_o it_o be_v long_a and_o full_a of_o quotation_n but_o to_o what_o purpose_n he_o who_o write_v it_o may_v possible_o know_v best_o 5._o in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o think_v he_o will_v have_v none_o but_o scripture-term_n make_v use_v of_o in_o state_v this_o doctrine_n but_o this_o whether_o it_o be_v the_o invention_n of_o old_a heretic_n or_o new_a one_o have_v be_v show_v to_o be_v in_o our_o case_n very_o foolish_a and_o unreasonable_a
and_o what_o none_o will_v contend_v for_o but_o he_o that_o either_o know_v not_o what_o he_o ask_v or_o have_v a_o mind_n to_o overthrow_v the_o true_a faith_n the_o next_o thing_n as_o near_o as_o i_o can_v guess_v that_o he_o endeavour_v to_o show_v from_o father_n 5._o schoolman_n and_o protestant_a divine_n be_v that_o the_o word_n person_n be_v equivocal_a and_o uncertain_a in_o its_o signification_n i_o hope_v then_o his_o client_n may_v like_v it_o the_o better_a as_o be_v able_a to_o make_v use_n of_o it_o in_o a_o sense_n agreeable_a to_o their_o own_o doctrine_n but_o after_o all_o this_o uncertainty_n of_o the_o word_n person_n about_o which_o he_o have_v show_v so_o much_o learning_n as_o far_o as_o i_o can_v find_v there_o be_v so_o much_o of_o its_o signification_n agree_v to_o on_o all_o hand_n that_o the_o antitrinitarian_n be_v unwilling_a to_o use_v it_o as_o evident_o include_v something_o that_o will_v not_o go_v down_o with_o they_o and_o i_o fear_v that_o this_o be_v the_o true_a reason_n of_o our_o author_n quarrel_n against_o it_o but_o now_o our_o author_n have_v show_v himself_o such_o a_o master_n of_o book_n he_o can_v forbear_v step_v a_o little_a out_o of_o the_o way_n again_o to_o show_v himself_o as_o great_a a_o master_n of_o reason_n and_o therefore_o fall_v foul_a upon_o the_o dean_n for_o contradict_v himself_o 8._o for_o make_v three_o mind_n and_o one_o mind_n and_o make_v the_o person_n distinct_a and_o not_o separate_a which_o be_v to_o he_o a_o unavoidable_a contradiction_n and_o who_o can_v help_v it_o if_o it_o be_v what_o the_o dean_n maintain_v be_v not_o so_o to_o every_o body_n apprehension_n especial_o if_o it_o be_v consider_v in_o his_o own_o word_n without_o our_o author_n comment_n on_o they_o for_o it_o may_v be_v understand_v how_o three_o mind_n be_v one_o though_o it_o be_v something_o difficult_a to_o apprehend_v that_o they_o be_v three_o same_z and_o not_o three_o same_z and_o i_o can_v no_o more_o understand_v our_o author_n argue_v that_o if_o they_o be_v distinct_a they_o be_v separate_a also_o than_o he_o can_v the_o dean_n when_o he_o say_v they_o be_v distinct_a and_o yet_o not_o separate_a which_o i_o believe_v will_v not_o sound_v like_o a_o absurdity_n to_o any_o but_o a_o socinian_n understanding_n but_o if_o the_o dean_n have_v be_v mistake_v and_o have_v fall_v short_a in_o his_o argue_n and_o have_v also_o set_v up_o a_o hypothesis_n full_a of_o contradiction_n which_o yet_o there_o be_v a_o great_a many_o wise_a man_n than_o our_o author_n do_v not_o believe_v what_o will_v all_o this_o be_v to_o the_o design_n of_o our_o author_n book_n if_o dr._n sherlock_n do_v not_o argue_v well_o must_v no_o body_n therefore_o write_v that_o can_v argue_v better_o if_o his_o hypothesis_n be_v unreasonable_a be_v it_o therefore_o unreasonable_a to_o write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n or_o be_v the_o doctrine_n itself_o unreasonable_a some_o man_n we_o know_v think_v so_o and_o this_o may_v be_v several_a stroke_n in_o his_o book_n be_v suspect_v to_o be_v the_o opinion_n of_o our_o author_n however_o he_o be_v so_o great_a a_o lover_n of_o peace_n why_o then_o do_v he_o quarrel_v so_o much_o with_o the_o orthodox_n writer_n and_o the_o church_n of_o england_n that_o he_o be_v willing_a to_o admit_v the_o old_a way_n of_o speak_v and_o the_o ancient_a notion_n of_o a_o divine_a person_n as_o be_v more_o consistent_a and_o less_o obnoxious_a which_o if_o it_o have_v be_v keep_v to_o he_o have_v forborn_v his_o suit_n it_o be_v the_o new_a notion_n then_o that_o he_o quarrel_n at_o but_o why_o then_o must_v all_o man_n be_v desire_v not_o to_o write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n even_o though_o they_o do_v hold_v to_o the_o old_a notion_n but_o h●re_o that_o be_v in_o the_o ancient_a notion_n of_o a_o person_n or_o rather_o in_o that_o word_n since_o it_o have_v be_v a_o long_a time_n in_o use_n without_o ever_o defend_v or_o explain_v the_o thing_n he_o will_v have_v our_o divine_n stop_v for_o peace_n sake_n and_o i_o believe_v they_o will_v gratify_v he_o so_o far_o as_o not_o to_o enter_v into_o any_o far_a dispute_n about_o it_o if_o he_o will_v secure_v that_o the_o socinian_o shall_v not_o oppose_v this_o but_o subscribe_v to_o it_o and_o not_o write_v against_o

by_o virtue_n of_o this_o little_a particle_n a_o there_o must_v be_v three_o god_n all_o the_o world_n can_v help_v it_o for_o though_o he_o express_o say_v these_o three_o be_v but_o one_o god_n

for_o among_o those_o who_o own_o a_o trinity_n of_o divine_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n a_o god_n incarnate_a can_v signify_v no_o more_o than_o that_o one_o of_o the_o divine_a person_n who_o

own_v there_o be_v but_o one_o christian_a faith_n he_o qualify_v it_o very_o notable_o with_o and_o every_o truth_n which_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v ought_v if_o it_o can_v be_v
