§. 1.
R. B. This is a Point of so great moment in my eyes, that I resolve to begin with it. I doubt not but the difference between you and me is only about the bare methodizing of our Notions, and not de Substantia rei: But I doubt lest your doctrine being received by common heads, according to the true importance of your expressions, may do more against their salvation then is yet well thought on: And that not per accidens, but from its proper nature; supposing the impression of the soul to be but answerable to the objective doctrinal seal. I am no friend to the confusion that you here speak against; and I am glad to find you so little in love with it, as to pass your judgement that it is not to be suffered: For now I rest assured that you will not be offended, when here or hereafter, I shall open your guiltiness of it; and that you will not be unwilling of what may tend to your cure. These two or three necessary distinctions I must first here premise, before I can give a clear answer to your words.
