A23631	The moderate Trinitarian containing a description of the Holy Trinity, both according to Scripture, and approved authors for learning, and adherence to the Trinitarian doctrine : being an argument shewing that moderation may and ought to be shewn by and to persons of different conceptions concerning some circumstances relating to the knowledg of the Holy Trinity : together with a short reply to Mr. Joseph Taylor's Brief inquiry whether those who own, and those who deny the divinity of Christ, may communicate together / by Daniel Allen.

mr._n tailor_n be_v four_o reason_n be_v in_o page_n 11._o because_o they_o that_o deny_v christ_n to_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o this_o reason_n stand_v on_o the_o same_o bottom_n with_o the_o former_a the_o same_o answer_n may_v suffice_v his_o six_o reason_n for_o he_o have_v no_o five_o that_o i_o can_v find_v be_v this_o principle_n of_o christ_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v the_o rock_n upon_o which_o christ_n have_v build_v his_o church_n for_o proof_n of_o which_o he_o cite_v mat._n 16.15_o where_o peter_n confess_v thou_o be_v christ_n the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n and_o our_o lord_n say_v upon_o this_o rock_n will_v i_o build_v my_o church_n but_o the_o necessary_a consequence_n of_o mr._n tailor_n be_v reason_n or_o proof_n be_v so_o far_o off_o that_o my_o dull_a genius_n will_v not_o reach_v it_o i_o will_v put_v it_o into_o the_o form_n of_o a_o argument_n to_o be_v a_o son_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n but_o christ_n own_v that_o he_o be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n ergo_fw-la he_o own_v he_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n but_o then_o perhaps_o some_o unhappy_a brain_n or_o other_o will_v say_v at_o that_o rate_n of_o reason_v one_o may_v prove_v adam_n angel_n and_o saint_n to_o be_v all_o the_o very_a essence_n of_o god_n for_o they_o be_v all_o call_v son_n of_o god_n i_o speak_v not_o this_o as_o suppose_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o god_n in_o no_o other_o sense_n than_o adam_n angel_n and_o saint_n be_v but_o to_o show_v how_o short_a mr._n tailor_n be_v argue_v come_v of_o what_o he_o intend_v it_o for_o but_o mr._n taylor_n say_v page_n 13._o except_o by_o the_o word_n son_n of_o god_n we_o understand_v one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n it_o be_v impossible_a we_o shall_v have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n if_o this_o be_v true_a set_v the_o unitarian_n aside_o there_o be_v not_o many_o of_o we_o trinitarian_n have_v one_o and_o the_o same_o faith_n for_o some_o by_o son_n of_o god_n intend_v a_o distinct_a intelligent_a be_v and_o mind_n from_o father_n and_o spirit_n as_o dr._n sherlock_n some_o say_v it_o be_v only_o a_o mode_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n but_o not_o the_o divine_a essence_n itself_o as_o mr._n monk_n some_o in_o effect_n say_v it_o be_v call_v a_o person_n but_o indeed_o in_o a_o proper_a sense_n be_v not_o and_o that_o therefore_o it_o be_v a_o somewhat_o as_o dr._n wallis_n some_o say_v it_o be_v a_o quality_n and_o property_n of_o the_o divine_a essence_n some_o say_v it_o be_v the_o essence_n itself_o the_o schoolman_n say_v it_o be_v god_n know_v himself_o by_o a_o reflex_n act._n thus_o you_o see_v we_o be_v all_o to_o piece_n among_o ourselves_o and_o when_o we_o be_v unite_v and_o understand_v by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n it_o be_v like_o the_o unitarian_n will_v fall_v in_o with_o we_o but_o alas_o alas_o now_o be_o i_o come_v to_o the_o kill_a reason_n of_o all_o reason_n to_o wit_v the_o seven_o page_n 13._o if_o i_o can_v but_o dispatch_v it_o i_o shall_v think_v my_o work_n near_o do_v it_o be_v this_o the_o doctrine_n of_o christ_n his_o be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n be_v a_o principle_n of_o that_o consequence_n that_o the_o christian_a religion_n stand_v or_o fall_v with_o it_o to_o demonstrate_v this_o mr._n taylor_n lay_v down_o these_o two_o fearful_a and_o monstrous_a position_n namely_o that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o true_a god_n of_o the_o same_o essence_n with_o his_o father_n it_o follow_v first_o that_o the_o mahometan_a religion_n be_v preferable_a to_o the_o christian_a and_o mahomet_n be_v a_o great_a prophet_n than_o christ_n second_o that_o christ_n be_v a_o impostor_n and_o deceiver_n the_o jew_n do_v just_o in_o sentence_v he_o to_o death_n for_o blasphemy_n that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v idolatry_n and_o superstition_n and_o the_o messiah_n be_v not_o yet_o come_v this_o roar_a reason_n make_v a_o terrible_a noise_n in_o country_n church_n if_o this_o be_v true_a it_o be_v enough_o to_o make_v a_o man_n afraid_a to_o come_v near_o a_o unitarian_n as_o long_o as_o one_o life_n unitarian_n do_v i_o say_v nay_o mercy_n mercy_n for_o as_o to_o several_a of_o our_o lead_n trinitarian_n what_o will_v become_v of_o they_o for_o mr._n monk_n plain_o deny_v that_o christ_n be_v the_o essence_n of_o god_n but_o only_o a_o person_n or_o mode_n dr._n wallis_n be_v of_o the_o same_o mind_n and_o i_o be_o almost_o afraid_a mr._n taylor_n be_v lean_v that_o way_n and_o if_o he_o shall_v what_o a_o lamentable_a thing_n will_v that_o be_v but_o now_o by_o way_n of_o reply_n first_o observe_v that_o this_o expression_n christ_n of_o the_o essence_n of_o his_o father_n be_v not_o direct_o in_o express_a term_n teach_v we_o by_o our_o lord_n or_o the_o holy_a scripture_n second_o that_o our_o proof_n be_v only_a consequence_n a_o long_a time_n ago_o and_o still_o much_o controvert_v by_o very_o learned_a man_n and_o yet_o mr._n taylor_n adventure_n to_o be_v so_o confident_a as_o to_o say_v in_o effect_n that_o suppose_v his_o opinion_n be_v not_o true_a that_o be_v if_o he_o be_v mistake_v than_o christ_n must_v needs_o be_v beneath_o mahomet_n nay_o a_o impostor_n and_o the_o jew_n do_v well_o to_o put_v he_o to_o death_n for_o blasphemy_n these_o be_v very_o high_a word_n and_o look_v too_o bold_a and_o presumptuous_a i_o confess_v if_o the_o pope_n and_o church_n of_o rome_n have_v say_v so_o it_o have_v be_v no_o very_a surprise_a thing_n because_o they_o believe_v themselves_o infallible_a may_v therefore_o look_v upon_o their_o interpretation_n of_o scripture_n even_o in_o the_o most_o nice_a and_o dubious_a point_n to_o be_v certain_o and_o infallible_o true_a for_o infallible_a person_n can_v err_v but_o for_o mr._n taylor_n who_o i_o doubt_v not_o think_v himself_o a_o fallible_a man_n for_o he_o i_o say_v to_o hug_v and_o magnify_v his_o own_o opinion_n in_o so_o intricate_a and_o curious_a a_o question_n wherein_o as_o have_v be_v hint_v the_o most_o learned_a trinitarian_n be_v great_o divide_v in_o their_o apprehension_n and_o to_o value_v it_o at_o such_o a_o rate_n as_o to_o think_v and_o proclaim_v that_o either_o his_o notion_n must_v be_v true_a or_o christ_n must_v be_v false_a this_o be_v very_o amaze_a and_o i_o can_v forbear_v think_v that_o mr._n taylor_n have_v monsieur_n lamoth_n book_n by_o he_o when_o he_o pen_v this_o reason_n lamoth_n in_o his_o discourse_n of_o the_o trinity_n p._n 15._o have_v these_o expression_n that_o in_o case_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n as_o now_o hold_v be_v not_o true_a than_o the_o apostle_n paul_n have_v not_o common_a sense_n nor_o any_o tolerable_a degree_n of_o understanding_n nay_o be_v a_o madman_n and_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o apostle_n be_v blasphemer_n and_o page_n 33._o i_o make_v no_o difficulty_n say_v he_o to_o say_v they_o have_v deceive_v we_o most_o shameful_o and_o their_o write_n be_v no_o better_o than_o continual_a blasphemy_n if_o christ_n be_v not_o god_n but_o second_o i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o demonstrate_v that_o in_o case_n mr._n taylor_n shall_v be_v mistake_v and_o christ_n be_v suppose_v not_o to_o be_v of_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n yet_o it_o do_v not_o thence_o follow_v notwithstanding_o all_o mr._n taylor_n say_v that_o he_o be_v worse_a than_o mahomet_n or_o that_o the_o christian_a religion_n be_v worse_a than_o mahometism_n to_o which_o purpose_n i_o will_v consider_v what_o he_o say_v his_o chief_a if_o not_o only_a reason_n for_o this_o be_v in_o page_n 15._o because_o the_o christian_a religion_n bring_v in_o idolatry_n but_o mahomet_n abolish_v it_o i_o answer_v i_o shall_v not_o concern_v myself_o with_o mahometism_n nor_o magnify_v it_o for_o expelling_a idolatry_n but_o for_o the_o christian_a religion_n that_o it_o bring_v in_o idolatry_n in_o the_o case_n suppose_v i_o deny_v for_o if_o the_o christian_a religion_n necessary_o bring_v in_o idolatry_n it_o must_v be_v either_o in_o the_o unitarian_n or_o the_o trinitarian_n but_o it_o do_v not_o necessary_o bring_v in_o idolatry_n in_o the_o unitarian_n nor_o yet_o in_o the_o trinitarian_n therefore_o the_o christian_a religion_n do_v not_o necessary_o bring_v in_o idolatry_n to_o make_v short_a for_o proof_n of_o the_o minor_a i_o refer_v you_o to_o the_o close_a of_o my_o answer_n to_o his_o first_o reason_n i_o come_v now_o to_o his_o second_o monstrous_a assertion_n namely_o if_o christ_n be_v not_o the_o essence_n of_o god_n than_o he_o be_v a_o impostor_n now_o the_o consequence_n of_o this_o i_o deny_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_n affirm_v that_o though_o christ_n be_v not_o of_o the_o
