A40088	A second defence of the propositions by which the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is so explained according to the ancient fathers, as to speak it not contradictory to natural reason : in answer to a Socinian manuscript, in a letter to a friend : together, with a third defence of those propositions, in answer to the newly published reflexions, contained in a pamphlet, entituled, A letter to the reverend clergy of both universities / both by the author of those propositions.

shall_v have_v say_v that_o god_n in_o this_o high_a of_o sense_n can_v be_v but_o one_o numerical_o and_o now_o he_o say_v that_o point-blank_a against_o all_o this_o a._n t._n affirm_v that_o a_o be_v which_o be_v not_o absolute_o perfect_a which_o want_v self_n existence_n which_o want_v the_o high_a perfection_n which_o derive_v itself_o from_o god_n which_o depend_v on_o god_n the_o original_a of_o all_o thing_n who_o be_v but_o one_o numerical_o may_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v essential_o god_n upon_o the_o account_n of_o some_o perfection_n for_o two_o it_o seem_v be_v not_o communicate_v or_o to_o be_v induce_v with_o the_o divine_a nature_n now_o sir_n what_o a_o multiply_v of_o word_n be_v here_o which_o want_v self-existence_n which_o want_v the_o high_a perfection_n which_o derive_v itself_o from_o god_n as_o if_o these_o three_o be_v more_o than_o one_o thing_n though_o i_o have_v no_o such_o expression_n neither_o as_o derive_v itself_o from_o god_n and_o he_o be_v a_o little_a injurious_a to_o i_o too_o in_o represent_v i_o as_o say_v that_o the_o son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n have_v only_o some_o perfection_n notwithstanding_o the_o follow_a parenthesis_n whereas_o he_o know_v he_o ought_v to_o have_v represent_v i_o as_o say_v that_o they_o have_v all_o that_o be_v capable_a of_o be_v communicate_v which_o be_v all_o but_o self-existence_n and_o what_o be_v necessary_o therein_o employ_v and_o i_o say_v that_o this_o be_v not_o capable_a of_o be_v communicate_v because_o there_o be_v not_o a_o more_o gross_a contradiction_n than_o to_o say_v it_o be_v but_o how_o be_v this_o proposition_n point-blank_a contrary_n to_o my_o forego_n one_o this_o question_n he_o answer_v by_o ask_v question_n for_o he_o next_o say_v he_o must_v make_v bold_a to_o ask_v i_o these_o follow_a question_n and_o i_o will_v answer_v they_o as_o well_o as_o i_o can_v as_o he_o ask_v they_o quest._n 1._o do_v the_o divine_a nature_n comprehend_v all_o perfection_n or_o can_v it_o want_v one_o or_o two_o of_o the_o chief_a and_o be_v still_o the_o same_o divine_a nature_n i_o answer_v that_o the_o divine_a nature_n do_v comprehend_v all_o perfection_n but_o self_n existence_n be_v a_o perfection_n relate_v immediate_o to_o the_o father_n existence_n not_o to_o his_o nature_n or_o essence_n it_o speak_v the_o most_o

and_o as_o the_o humane_a nature_n of_o our_o b._n saviour_n be_v not_o of_o a_o different_a kind_n from_o other_o mens_fw-la because_o he_o come_v by_o it_o in_o a_o supernatural_a way_n so_o i_o say_v god_n the_o father_n existence_n be_v without_o a_o cause_n do_v not_o make_v he_o to_o have_v another_o sort_n of_o nature_n from_o that_o of_o the_o son_n and_o h_n ghost_n which_o may_v be_v a_o necessary_a nature_n and_o uncreated_a and_o be_v constitute_v of_o all_o the_o boundless_a perfection_n of_o which_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n consist_v abstract_v from_o the_o

and_o now_o for_o his_o next_o question_n quest._n 2._o can_v the_o divine_a nature_n be_v communicate_v to_o a_o be_v when_o less_o than_o all_o perfection_n be_v communicate_v to_o it_o i_o answer_v that_o if_o you_o will_v read_v again_o what_o i_o have_v say_v to_o the_o former_a question_n you_o will_v find_v there_o need_v no_o other_o answer_n to_o this_o but_o i_o must_v blame_v the_o word_v of_o this_o question_n because_o it_o seem_v to_o suppose_v prae_fw-la existent_a being_n to_o which_o the_o divine_a nature_n be_v communicate_v whereas_o the_o possibility_n of_o the_o existence_n of_o other_o being_n from_o god_n the_o father_n which_o have_v the_o perfection_n of_o his_o own_o nature_n be_v that_o which_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v by_o the_o communicableness_n of_o those_o perfection_n quest._n 3._o can_v a_o be_v that_o depend_v on_o god_n be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v essential_o that_o god_n on_o who_o it_o depend_v i_o answer_v that_o such_o a_o be_v can_v be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v essential_o that_o god_n in_o one_o sense_n but_o can_v in_o another_o i_o e._n it_o can_v have_v a_o essence_n of_o the_o same_o kind_n though_o not_o the_o same_o numerical_a one_o quest._n 4._o can_v a_o be_v that_o distinguish_v itself_o from_o the_o only_a true_a god_n be_v proper_o say_v to_o be_v essential_o that_o god_n who_o be_v the_o only_a true_a god_n and_o but_o one_o numerical_o i_o answer_v that_o because_o he_o love_v needless_o to_o multiply_v question_n i_o be_o not_o oblige_v so_o to_o multiply_v answer_n and_o this_o be_v the_o selfsame_a with_o the_o other_o question_n i_o have_v give_v my_o answer_n to_o it_o and_o now_o i_o hope_v the_o gentleman_n may_v be_v satisfy_v of_o the_o true_a reason_n of_o my_o parenthesis_n in_o the_o four_o proposition_n namely_o because_o the_o son_n and_o h._n ghost_n may_v be_v absolute_o perfect_a as_o to_o their_o nature_n abstract_v as_o i_o say_v from_o the_o consideration_n of_o

divine_n and_o philosopher_n have_v not_o think_v deserve_v to_o be_v scoff_v at_o as_o nonsense_n and_o a_o contradiction_n to_o natural_a reason_n as_o much_o as_o it_o be_v above_o the_o

innumerable_a notion_n too_o relate_v to_o material_a thing_n which_o a_o experimental_a philosopher_n can_v doubt_v the_o truth_n of_o in_o the_o next_o place_n sir_n your_o friend_n say_v he_o despair_v of_o hear_v a_o wise_a word_n answer_v to_o these_o question_n viz._n the_o forementioned_a but_o i_o will_v not_o say_v where_o be_v his_o wisdom_n then_o when_o he_o ask_v they_o because_o you_o will_v reply_v they_o be_v however_o wise_a question_n if_o they_o serve_v to_o expose_v the_o trinitarian_n to_o who_o they_o be_v put_v and_o to_o make_v his_o explication_n of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n down_o right_a nonsense_n but_o i_o reply_v let_v the_o unbiased_a reader_n judge_v of_o this_o and_o sir_n i_o hearty_o wish_v that_o your_o self_n may_v be_v one_o of_o they_o and_o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o he_o will_v do_v what_o he_o can_v to_o prevent_v trouble_v that_o be_v my_o trouble_v the_o question_n with_o confuse_a empty_a jargon_n my_o answer_n be_v that_o i_o think_v i_o have_v not_o at_o all_o trouble_v the_o question_n whether_o i_o shall_v trouble_v he_o or_o no_o by_o my_o answer_v they_o but_o i_o expect_v he_o will_v tell_v you_o

demonstration_n that_o yourself_o be_v one_o of_o those_o anti-trinitarians_a who_o you_o extol_v in_o the_o begin_n of_o your_o answer_n to_o my_o proposition_n as_o have_v modest_o as_o well_o as_o learned_o and_o pious_o and_o strong_o impugn_a the_o common_o receive_v doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n but_o how_o do_v he_o endeavour_v to_o prevent_v my_o trouble_v his_o question_n with_o confuse_a empty_a jargon_n he_o do_v it_o thus_o by_o essence_n i_o suppose_v he_o mean_v nature_n i_o answer_v i_o be_o willing_a to_o do_v so_o too_o and_o say_v he_o in_o that_o

manner_n of_o existence_n or_o that_o any_o thing_n can_v have_v its_o existence_n from_o god_n and_o be_v self-existent_a and_o now_o he_o will_v display_v he_o say_v the_o absurdity_n and_o impossibility_n of_o this_o necessary_a emanation_n in_o two_o or_o three_o question_n and_o i_o thank_v he_o in_o consideration_n of_o my_o soft_a place_n he_o himself_o answer_v they_o for_o i_o q._n 1._o be_v god_n conscious_a to_o the_o emanation_n yes_o say_v he_o else_o his_o understanding_n be_v not_o infinite_a q_o 2._o be_v he_o sensible_a of_o the_o necessity_n yes_o again_o for_o the_o same_o reason_n and_o i_o answer_v yes_o yes_o too_o though_o he_o have_v excuse_v i_o but_o now_o when_o i_o have_v most_o need_n of_o his_o help_n he_o leave_v i_o to_o answer_v for_o myself_o to_o a_o stab_a consequence_n from_o those_o concession_n viz._n but_o than_o it_o follow_v that_o he_o be_v determine_v to_o one_o thing_n and_o sensible_a that_o he_o be_v so_o i_o will_v here_o too_o adventure_v to_o give_v he_o two_o more_o yess_n then_o proceed_v he_o there_o be_v some_o power_n above_o he_o or_o such_o a_o determination_n be_v the_o law_n of_o his_o nature_n the_o former_a he_o say_v can_v be_v because_o god_n be_v the_o supreme_a be_v and_o he_o will_v have_v do_v like_o himself_o have_v he_o give_v we_o a_o reason_n why_o nothing_o can_v be_v above_o the_o supreme_a be_v nor_o say_v he_o can_v the_o latter_a because_o neither_o reason_n nor_o scripture_n describe_v god_n by_o any_o such_o law_n but_o be_v aware_a that_o this_o be_v too_o difficult_a for_o my_o brain_n he_o tell_v i_o he_o will_v make_v the_o matter_n plain_a by_o a_o question_n i_o see_v he_o be_v excellent_a at_o question_n and_o his_o question_n be_v this_o by_o what_o evident_a principle_n of_o reason_n or_o what_o text_n of_o scripture_n do_v it_o appear_v to_o be_v the_o law_n of_o a_o infinite_a nature_n to_o beget_v infinite_a power_n wisdom_n goodness_n and_o that_o in_o a_o be_v that_o must_v want_v self-existence_n and_o be_v the_o maker_n of_o all_o thing_n i_o answer_v that_o if_o he_o have_v any_o idea_n of_o the_o thing_n call_v nonsense_n and_o any_o true_a mark_n to_o find_v it_o by_o he_o can_v miss_v of_o it_o in_o this_o question_n but_o who_o ever_o talk_v of_o the_o father_n beget_v infinite_a power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n in_o any_o be_v or_o otherwise_o than_o of_o his_o beget_v a_o infinite_o powerful_a wise_a and_o good_a be_v and_o now_o come_v a_o three_o question_n do_v the_o idea_n of_o a_o infinite_o perfect_a be_v evident_o imply_v the_o necessary_a emanation_n of_o another_o be_v this_o question_n sure_a he_o ask_v for_o asking_n sake_n for_o he_o know_v i_o desire_v to_o have_v no_o more_o grant_v i_o than_o that_o it_o be_v not_o impossible_a or_o there_o be_v no_o absurdity_n in_o it_o that_o being_n may_v have_v exstence_n from_o god_n by_o way_n of_o necessary_a emanation_n and_o now_o for_o the_o 13._o proposition_n prop._n 13._o it_o be_v no_o less_o presumption_n to_o affirm_v that_o it_o be_v a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o a_o be_v can_v be_v from_o all_o eternity_n from_o god_n the_o father_n suppose_v it_o possible_a that_o it_o may_v be_v from_o he_o in_o a_o high_a and_o more_o excellent_a way_n than_o that_o of_o creation_n since_o the_o sun_n though_o it_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o light_n be_v only_o in_o order_n of_o nature_n before_o it_o to_o this_o he_o say_v first_o that_o for_o one_o be_v to_o be_v from_o all_o eternity_n from_o the_o eternal_a father_n be_v a_o contradiction_n one_o degree_n more_o absurd_a than_o bare_o two_o eternal_n not_o to_o tell_v he_o that_o i_o have_v hitherto_o think_v that_o all_o contradiction_n be_v alike_o absurd_a how_o do_v he_o prove_v this_o to_o be_v in_o any_o degree_n a_o absurd_a contradiction_n he_o say_v that_o it_o be_v so_o be_v the_o most_o manifest_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n if_o i_o demand_v a_o proof_n now_o hereof_o i_o shall_v affront_v he_o have_v i_o not_o already_o catch_v he_o at_o prove_v after_o his_o manner_n the_o most_o manifest_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n but_o i_o need_v not_o demand_v a_o proof_n hereof_o for_o he_o present_o set_v about_o it_o and_o the_o argument_n whereby_o he_o prove_v this_o most_o manifest_a thing_n in_o the_o world_n be_v this_o we_o neither_o have_v nor_o can_v have_v any_o notion_n of_o proceed_v or_o be_v from_o another_o but_o what_o imply_v the_o proceeder_n who_o derive_v his_o be_v to_o be_v inferior_a he_o shall_v have_v say_v posteriour_a to_o that_o other_o be_v in_o order_n of_o time_n in_o truth_n it_o be_v a_o pleasant_a thing_n to_o see_v man_n all_o of_o a_o piece_n this_o be_v perfect_o like_o his_o argue_n that_o be_v prove_v the_o most_o manifest_a thing_n by_o what_o be_v less_o manifest_a nay_o this_o be_v prove_v it_o by_o what_o be_v very_o false_a he_o say_v we_o have_v no_o notion_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o i_o have_v already_o tell_v he_o that_o a_o thing_n may_v nevertheless_o be_v for_o our_o have_a no_o notion_n of_o it_o but_o he_o also_o say_v we_o can_v have_v none_o here_o be_v confidence_n too_o like_o his_o own_o but_o let_v he_o speak_v for_o himself_o and_o not_o say_v we_o for_o i_o both_o can_v have_v and_o have_v some_o notion_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n and_o so_o may_v any_o one_o that_o please_v for_o such_o a_o thing_n be_v a_o daily_a object_n of_o our_o sight_n of_o which_o anon_o after_o i_o have_v consider_v 2._o more_o of_o his_o wise_a say_n the_o

to_o be_v contradiction_n and_o impossible_a and_o assert_v the_o truth_n of_o it_o and_o if_o he_o know_v not_o that_o the_o proof_n of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o eternal_a generation_n be_v now_o none_o of_o my_o business_n and_o much_o more_o if_o he_o need_v to_o be_v tell_v that_o i_o only_o affirm_v that_o there_o be_v no_o contradiction_n therein_o to_o natural_a reason_n it_o be_v hard_a

except_o it_o be_v create_v and_o then_o join_v to_o it_o be_v as_o self-existent_a as_o that_o substance_n but_o i_o say_v with_o as_o great_a assurance_n that_o whatsoever_o substance_n emanes_n from_o another_o must_v owe_v its_o existence_n to_o that_o other_o and_o the_o contrary_a be_v a_o manifest_a contradiction_n as_o to_o his_o reason_n for_o thus_o assert_v viz._n because_o before_o

59_o this_o section_n have_v several_a very_o surprise_v thing_n in_o it_o as_o 1._o our_o author_n can_v see_v since_o the_o son_n and_o spirit_n be_v necessary_a emanation_n how_o they_o owe_v their_o origin_n more_o to_o the_o father_n than_o the_o father_n owe_v his_o to_o they_o which_o be_v as_o much_o as_o to_o say_v since_o the_o tree_n necessary_o issue_v forth_o from_o the_o root_n and_o the_o ray_n from_o the_o sun_n therefore_o the_o root_n owe_v its_o origin_n no_o less_o to_o the_o tree_n and_o the_o sun_n to_o its_o ray_n than_o the_o tree_n to_o the_o root_n and_o the_o ray_n to_o the_o sun_n 2._o his_o reason_n for_o that_o assertion_n be_v that_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v all_o three_o of_o a_o substance_n that_o be_v self-existent_a but_o i_o say_v only_o the_o two_o latter_a be_v so_o for_o the_o first_o as_o he_o need_v not_o to_o be_v tell_v be_v the_o self_n existent_a substance_n not_o of_o or_o from_o such_o a_o substance_n but_o if_o he_o ask_v i_o how_o they_o emane_n from_o the_o father_n i_o know_v not_o which_o of_o we_o will_v be_v the_o more_o presumptuous_a he_o for_o ask_v and_o for_o endeavour_v to_o answer_n thatquestion_n but_o on_o second_o thought_n i_o will_v undertake_v to_o answer_v it_o when_o he_o shall_v be_v please_v to_o answer_v i_o this_o how_o do_v yourself_o come_v into_o be_v or_o what_o be_v the_o modus_fw-la how_o any_o thing_n come_v to_o be_v what_o it_o be_v or_o to_o be_v at_o all_o 3._o he_o add_v nor_o can_v the_o father_n more_o than_o they_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o the_o separation_n since_o they_o necessary_o separate_v from_o one_o another_o but_o can_v i_o need_v to_o mind_v he_o that_o our_o hypothesis_n will_v not_o bear_v a_o separation_n between_o the_o divine_a person_n and_o only_a assert_n a_o distinction_n between_o they_o and_o sure_o i_o need_v not_o tell_v he_o that_o he_o be_v not_o over-fit_a to_o write_v book_n who_o know_v not_o that_o distinction_n and_o separation_n and_o difference_n too_o be_v several_a thing_n but_o 4._o whereas_o he_o say_v that_o no_o one_o of_o these_o person_n can_v be_v the_o cause_n of_o their_o separation_n because_o they_o necessary_o separate_v do_v he_o think_v that_o god_n can_v be_v the_o necessary_a cause_n of_o nothing_o or_o that_o he_o be_v in_o his_o own_o nature_n indifferent_a to_o every_o thing_n if_o he_o believe_v for_o instance_n that_o the_o perfection_n of_o his_o nature_n do_v not_o necessary_o determine_v he_o to_o what_o be_v best_a or_o to_o do_v whatsoever_o he_o in_o his_o infinite_a wisdom_n know_v fit_a to_o be_v do_v i_o hope_v there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o his_o mind_n he_o say_v 5._o that_o it_o be_v another_o contradiction_n to_o affirm_v that_o a_o infinite_a substance_n be_v divide_v into_o three_o infinite_a part_n how_o do_v our_o author_n already_o run_v taplash_n but_o i_o will_v not_o therefore_o forbear_v reply_v and_o i_o answer_v no_o doubt_v it_o be_v a_o horrid_a contradiction_n so_o to_o affirm_v but_o how_o rank_n do_v this_o smell_n of_o the_o gross_a thing_n call_v body_n his_o mind_n run_v altogether_o upon_o material_a substance_n which_o alone_o i_o say_v have_v part_n to_o be_v divide_v into_o and_o if_o a_o spiritual_a substance_n can_v be_v divide_v into_o spiritual_a part_n much_o less_o can_v a_o insinite_a spiritual_a substance_n be_v divide_v into_o infinite_a spiritual_a part_n and_o he_o who_o think_v that_o a_o spirit_n can_v be_v divide_v into_o part_n have_v as_o good_a never_o take_v that_o word_n into_o his_o mouth_n and_o much_o less_o can_v he_o pretend_v to_o believe_v it_o a_o thing_n of_o a_o immortal_a nature_n which_o whosoever_o do_v not_o whatever_o theologer_n they_o may_v be_v i_o can_v admire_v they_o for_o philosopher_n 6._o he_o make_v it_o in_o what_o follow_v a_o absurdity_n to_o deny_v that_o whatsoever_o proceed_v from_o another_o thing_n must_v be_v in_o order_n of_o time_n after_o it_o these_o be_v his_o word_n whatsoever_o proceed_v from_o a_o thing_n must_v first_o be_v in_o it_o except_o it_o can_v be_v in_o it_o and_o proceed_v from_o it_o at_o the_o same_o time_n but_o as_o we_o never_o think_v of_o such_o a_o thing_n as_o the_o two_o person_n so_o proceed_v as_o to_o be_v separate_v from_o the_o first_o nor_o of_o any_o more_o than_o their_o have_v their_o
