Hagnelion Jechidatho Ruahh Turak Jehovah Ehhad OR EYE-SALVE Recommended to the World in a Short Essay Occasion'd by the sight of a Discourse set forth Since the Kings Injunctions CALL'D Some CONSIDERATIONS CONCERNING THE TRINITY Ps 8. 2. Out of the Mouths of Babes and Sucklings hast thou ordain'd strength because of thy Enemies that thou mayst still the Enemy and the avenger LONDON Printed in the Year 1696. The Authour TO His Book on the Holy TRINITY MY 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 a most sad and lamentable Consideration it is on which I can neither think Speak or write without great Concern and Grief of Heart that the present age being fill'd with Controversie about no less a matter than the Holy Trinity it self the greatest Divines in the Church should be mistaken as they are in the most fundamentall Article of the Christian Faith the Profession and Belief of which is formally and essentially necessary to Baptisme to be Administer'd always in the Name of the Father of the Son and of the Holy Ghost by the special Command and Order of Christ himself the great Apostle of our Profession and that the Church should thereby be fill'd with Scandal as it is not only to the Confirming of Deists and Arians in their wickness and Heresy but also to the turning aside of God's People from the right way who seeing their Leaders Contesting so hotly with each other as they do about the very springs of all Divinity and Religion cannot therefore but waver and be brought to doubt of the Verity and Sacro-Sanctitie thereof Surely to be fear'd it is that Christendom is even now call'd to an Account and Recconning for this and I am tempted methinks upon it with Jesus Ananai in Josephus to fill the streets of our Citys with 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 for it For what can be the Consequence and Effect of such great Mistake but that our Blessed Saviour so little Faith being found in the Land should come at last in Judgment against us and that our Jerusalem should be destroy'd Is there any Remedy or Prevention for so great an Evil There is one only that the Mistake be rectify'd Wherefore I tell Thee and Tell it Thou agen to all that read thee that the wrapping up the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity which God hath reveal'd and the Church in her Holy Creeds sufficiently Explain'd in the Clowd of Misteriousness has been the cause of this Evil it being a Papistical Doctrine which serves only as it has been made use of to cover over another Error as bad or worse that of Transsubstantiation Must we look on now and suffer this let those who are so Earnest to bear up the Grandeur of the Church more then Gods Holy Truths making Religion to be a Scala ad Eminentiam instead of a Scala Coeli Consider of it I for my part for the Truth 's sake choose rather to take up the Cross of Christ as a Donative of his who took it up for me first that I might obtain Eternal Life and be Number'd amongst those blessed ones who having their Reward in Heaven shall for ever praise him Go therefore My little Book into the world dreadless fearing neither Kings nor Princes Pope nor Cardinals Arch-Bishops nor Bishops Conclave nor Sanedrim and carry thy Eye-Salve to them all telling them it 's the Counsel of him who is King of Kings and Lord of Lords to anoint their Eyes with it that they may See Go and God Bless thee with good Success So prayeth he who beleiveth a Trinity in Vnity and Vnity in Trinity but does not believe that Trinity Is Vnity or that Vnity is Trinity that is Believes three Persons to be one God so is no Tritheita that Three Persons are one Person cannot Believe so is no Sabellian S● THESE Three are One. OR A Distinction of Persons in the Trinity yet in Vnity cleerly tho' briefly asserted HATH this Church the Church of England at this Day need of Eye-Salve it appears by the many Errors concerning the Trinity which go abroad in Print that it hath yea that it hath need of more Epistles yet from him who walks betwixt the Candle-Sticks and holds the Seven Stars in his right hand Wherefore choosing to be under Hherem rather than Suffer the Truth to fail for Sion's sake I shall not hold my Peace Once have I written and twice will I do it making only this Apology for saying so little on a Subject controverted so much that the less is said of it if it be enough it is so much the better So Aspirante Spiritu Sancto into the Deep I lanch forth craving leave in Order to what I shall say to premise this little That as I do and must grant that there is but One God which we are as sure of as that there is but one Sun to rule the Day and One Moon to give light in the Night So it be granted me likewise that there were two more before the Worlds were made what ever we may take 'em to be WITH THIS ONE GOD. This will be granted me I presume by all because he that denies it owns not Revelation and 't is Confest by the Arrian So that The Questions to be regarded by us are whether he who is said to be begotten the Other who is said to proceed in Scripture from the One God be truly and properly each of 'em Themselves God Further whither these Two are together with him who is call'd in Scripture the Father THE ONE GOD or no What to let go Socinus does the Arrian say to this He Poor Man I call him so because he 's a follower of Ebion denies it utterly yet in my Eye not without reason because of the Scandal that 's given him For he knows as well as any man that to say that Three Distinct Infinites are one Single Infinite as he is told Implies and is false that to say a Mode a property or Faculty can Constitute a Distinct Person as he 's told likewise Obtrudes on him an Impossible Notion He says therefore The Son and the Holy Ghost cannot be God which we are sure is false if the Holy Scriptures be true What next does the Authour of the Considerations mention'd in the Title-Page Say He likewise seeing the same Absurdities as the Arian doth and very well perceiving the Son and Holy Spirit 's Characters in Scripture Concludes because he dares not go against his Creeds and Litany that they are Persons but that they are not so distinct as Three Angels are c. No Saith he it 's an Impossible thing this What lastly say I now truely what he averr's I cannot possibly grant him Here my Author wants Eye-Salve Consequently in Opposition to what he Contends for so Earnestly as if 't were the Faith once deliver'd to the Saints I lay down this for Truth First that the Father Son and Holy Ghost are Persons and that as Distinct as three Angels Persons or as the Persons of Peter James
