pass_v by_o this_o affront_n and_o imputation_n which_o no_o clergyman_n ought_v to_o bear_v nay_o he_o even_o fawn_v upon_o the_o oxford_n doctor_n in_o his_o late_a answer_n to_o the_o slander_n by_o but_o a_o very_a surprise_v thing_n have_v happen_v dr._n wallis_n write_v in_o defence_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n his_o explication_n be_v allow_v by_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n and_o even_o applaud_v by_o great_a number_n of_o learned_a man_n who_o profess_v to_o be_v trinitarian_n and_o yet_o after_o all_o the_o socinian_o in_o their_o observation_n on_o the_o letter_n of_o dr._n wallis_n profess_v that_o they_o be_v of_o his_o mind_n they_o even_o say_v that_o in_o honour_n of_o he_o they_o be_v content_a to_o be_v call_v wallisian_n this_o be_v very_o odd_a for_o it_o follow_v that_o either_o the_o socinian_o be_v the_o true_a orthodox_n and_o their_o opposer_n tritheist_n or_o else_o that_o this_o good_a doctor_n be_v a_o socinian_n and_o know_v it_o not_o those_o that_o say_v without_o doubt_n the_o socinian_o understand_v their_o own_o doctrine_n be_v very_o piquant_v upon_o dr._n wallis_n they_o pretend_v themselves_o very_o desirous_a to_o be_v inform_v what_o may_v be_v in_o the_o doctor_n be_v mind_n to_o apologise_v for_o the_o athanasian_n creed_n and_o the_o trinity_n and_o yet_o to_o asperse_v at_o the_o same_o time_n his_o own_o patriarch_n socinus_n and_o his_o dear_a and_o close_a friend_n and_o brethren_n the_o unitarian_n especial_o in_o such_o a_o heinous_a manner_n as_o we_o see_v in_o his_o three_o and_o four_o letter_n they_o say_v either_o the_o man_n be_v wood_n or_o he_o have_v write_v after_o that_o fashion_n only_o to_o give_v occasion_n to_o the_o socinian_o as_o in_o effect_v it_o also_o happen_v to_o appear_v more_o bright_a by_o a_o thorough_a and_o unanswerable_a vindication_n of_o themselves_o for_o so_o it_o be_v that_o wrong_a innocence_n and_o virtue_n be_v render_v more_o conspicuous_a and_o lovely_a when_o injurious_a calumny_n be_v wipe_v off_o they_o say_v far_o that_o it_o be_v not_o to_o be_v much_o regard_v that_o so_o many_o have_v complemented_a dr._n wallis_n for_o his_o letter_n for_o what_o assurance_n have_v we_o that_o the_o writer_n of_o they_o be_v not_o secret_a socinian_o and_o that_o they_o only_o banter_n the_o good_a doctor_n as_o for_o the_o university_n of_o oxford_n to_o who_o these_o sabellian_n and_o unitarian_n sermon_n be_v preach_v it_o be_v very_o usual_a for_o the_o old_a man_n that_o preside_v in_o that_o university_n to_o sleep_v at_o sermon_n especial_o at_o dull_a one_o but_o you_o be_v not_o to_o think_v say_v they_o that_o these_o sermon_n or_o letter_n be_v ever_o license_v to_o the_o press_n by_o the_o university_n or_o that_o the_o doctor_n there_o understand_v so_o little_a as_o to_o mistake_v a_o disguise_a sabellianism_n or_o socinianism_n for_o the_o trinity_n of_o the_o catholic_n church_n the_o three_o person_n say_v dr._n wallis_n be_v but_o three_o relation_n capacity_n or_o respect_n of_o god_n to_o his_o creature_n he_o be_v their_o creator_n redeemer_n and_o sanctifier_n and_o in_o this_o sense_n of_o the_o word_n person_n god_n be_v three_o person_n but_o then_o because_o god_n have_v also_o the_o capacity_n or_o relation_n of_o a_o judge_n and_o of_o a_o oeconomus_fw-la or_o provider_n and_o many_o more_o we_o must_v not_o say_v that_o god_n be_v only_o three_o person_n he_o be_v five_o at_o the_o least_o beside_o i_o know_v not_o how_o many_o more_o furthermore_o this_o new-fangled_a socinian_n or_o sabellian_n have_v introduce_v a_o trinity_n of_o divine_a person_n that_o be_v but_o of_o yesterday_o the_o church_n trinity_n be_v all_o of_o

but_o how_o do_v it_o proceed_v from_o creation_n and_o from_o redemption_n dr._n wallis_n say_v they_o will_v find_v it_o as_o hard_o to_o account_v for_o these_o difficulty_n as_o to_o double_v the_o cube_n or_o even_o to_o square_v the_o circle_n which_o the_o most_o learned_a mathematician_n think_v to_o be_v impossible_a he_o be_v not_o say_v they_o to_o think_v that_o he_o be_v orthodox_n because_o he_o have_v escape_v the_o heavy_a cudgel_n that_o have_v all_o fall_v on_o dr._n sherlock_n it_o be_v not_o because_o his_o doctrine_n but_o because_o his_o luck_n have_v be_v better_a than_o that_o doctor_n be_v in_o a_o word_n whereas_o the_o church_n believe_v three_o real_a subsist_v person_n dr._n wallis_n have_v teach_v a_o trinity_n of_o external_n denomination_n or_o accidental_a predication_n only_o creation_n redemption_n and_o sanctification_n be_v act_n of_o god_n free_a and_o sovereign_a will_n he_o be_v under_o no_o necessity_n to_o create_v to_o redeem_v or_o to_o sanctify_v they_o be_v all_o effect_n of_o his_o most_o voluntary_a and_o every_o way_n free_a love_n if_o therefore_o the_o mystery_n of_o the_o trinity_n so_o much_o hitherto_o contest_v be_v nothing_o else_o but_o almighty_a god_n consider_v as_o the_o maker_n redeemer_n and_o sanctifier_n of_o his_o creature_n it_o be_v a_o trinity_n only_o of_o three_o denomination_n or_o name_n and_o of_o predication_n pure_o accidental_a and_o beside_o that_o it_o be_v no_o manner_n of_o mystery_n but_o the_o most_o intelligible_a and_o obvious_a thing_n in_o the_o word_n nor_o be_v it_o ever_o deny_v either_o by_o sabellian_n or_o socinian_o thus_o it_o be_v sir_n that_o divers_a learned_a person_n speak_v concern_v the_o trinity_n maintain_v by_o dr._n wallis_n ay_o for_o my_o part_n will_v add_v nothing_o to_o the_o observation_n i_o have_v former_o make_v on_o dr._n wallis_n his_o letter_n only_a i_o pray_v take_v notice_n here_o with_o i_o how_o well_o the_o cadmean_a brethren_n agree_v among_o themselves_o three_o divine_a person_n say_v dr._n wallis_n be_v the_o three_o relation_n of_o god_n to_o his_o creature_n he_o make_v he_o redeem_v he_o sanctify_v they_o this_o be_v the_o holy_a trinity_n out_o upon_o it_o say_v dr._n sherlock_n it_o be_v nonsense_n and_o heresy_n both_o for_o the_o divine_a person_n be_v three_o being_n three_o mind_n three_o spirit_n all_o of_o they_o live_v subsist_v and_o conscious_a to_o one_o another_o no_o no_o that_o be_v as_o much_o too_o much_o say_v dr._n s_o the_o it_o be_v neither_o so_n nor_o so_o but_o as_o i_o have_v explain_v it_o in_o my_o eight_o chapter_n of_o animadversion_n on_o dr._n sherlock_n the_o explication_n of_o the_o trinity_n by_o dr._n sherlock_n say_v dr._n s_o the_o be_v a_o treacherous_a and_o a_o false_a defence_n of_o that_o mystery_n he_o have_v advance_v a_o notion_n that_o immediate_o and_o unavoidable_o infer_v three_o god_n and_o if_o he_o have_v live_v in_o the_o

we_o the_o very_a true_a doctrine_n about_o the_o trinity_n yes_o he_o have_v without_o question_n lay_v down_o the_o very_a explication_n of_o the_o school_n the_o doctrine_n or_o explication_n general_o receive_v in_o university_n i_o doubt_v not_o it_o will_v be_v approve_v by_o most_o of_o the_o chair_n of_o our_o european_a university_n or_o school_n of_o learning_n he_o have_v very_o
