in_o the_o anti-arminians_a and_o mr._n b._n confess_v the_o very_a same_o in_o his_o p._n 114._o where_o though_o he_o say_v that_o they_o be_v honest_a ingenious_a device_n yet_o dr._n twisse_n call_v the_o former_a by_o very_o 4._o foul_a name_n as_o infer_v god_n say_v he_o to_o be_v the_o author_n of_o sin_n the_o very_a thing_n they_o will_v avoid_v in_o the_o supralapsarian_a way_n 5._o arminius_n dispute_v against_o god_n absolute_a power_n or_o will_n as_o it_o be_v separate_v from_o his_o justice_n and_o mr._n b._n 166._o confess_v that_o b._n calvin_n himself_o do_v do_v the_o

yet_o he_o make_v a_o clear_a distinction_n betwixt_o i_o and_o the_o arminian_n p._n 66._o but_o 8._o arminius_n deny_v the_o work_n of_o 8._o grace_n irresistible_o and_o mr._n b._n 215._o profess_v

to_o conclude_v where_o arminius_n be_v in_o a_o error_n mr._n b._n be_v sure_a to_o err_v with_o he_o but_o hate_v arminius_n where_o he_o be_v orthodox_n although_o he_o be_v constrain_v to_o

blasphemer_n and_o atheist_n a_o a_o what-not_a but_o neither_o be_o i_o a_o melanchthonian_n in_o any_o other_o respect_n then_o as_o i_o apprehend_v melanchthon_n to_o be_v a_o true_a and_o a_o

mr._n b._n be_v a_o calvinist_n a_o ae●ian_n or_o what_o he_o will_v i_o have_v vow_v for_o my_o part_n not_o to_o be_v any_o thing_n but_o a_o christian_a and_o if_o that_o be_v good_a logic_n to_o say_v that_o i_o be_o a_o arminian_n because_o in_o some_o thing_n i_o do_v not_o differ_v from_o arminius_n then_o mr._n b._n by_o the_o same_o logic_n be_v not_o only_o a_o arminian_n where_o i_o
