A64226	A brief enquiry whether they who assert, and they who deny, the divinity of our Lord Jesus Christ, may have communion together at the Lords table By Joseph Taylor.	Taylor, Joseph, 17th/18th cent.	1698 (1698)	Wing T536; ESTC R220650	24,202	72

to_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n without_o that_o he_o can_v be_v the_o immanuel_n the_o mediator_n between_o god_n and_o man_n he_o can_v not_o make_v satisfaction_n to_o divine_a justice_n nor_o answer_v the_o demand_n of_o the_o law_n nor_o work_v out_o salvation_n for_o we_o it_o be_v evident_a therefore_o that_o as_o he_o who_o deni_v the_o nature_n of_o god_n deni_v god_n so_o he_o that_o deni_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n deni_v his_o person_n yea_o it_o be_v better_a as_o the_o reverend_n mr._n 496._o charnock_n on_o the_o attribute_n page_n 496._o charnock_n say_v to_o deny_v there_o be_v a_o god_n than_o to_o deny_v his_o perfection_n as_o plutarch_n have_v rather_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v there_o never_o be_v such_o a_o man_n as_o plutarch_n than_o it_o shall_v be_v say_v he_o be_v a_o vile_a man_n or_o a_o base_a fellow_n so_o it_o be_v worse_a to_o deny_v what_o be_v essential_a to_o christ_n than_o to_o deny_v there_o ever_o be_v such_o a_o one_o it_o it_o better_a to_o say_v there_o never_o be_v any_o christ_n any_o messiah_n than_o to_o deny_v he_o be_v god_n for_o as_o it_o will_v be_v see_v in_o the_o sequel_n this_o be_v but_o to_o make_v he_o a_o impostor_n and_o a_o deceiver_n the_o socinian_o assert_v that_o christ_n be_v that_o man_n who_o god_n anoint_v certain_o therefore_o they_o will_v account_v such_o who_o shall_v deny_v he_o be_v a_o man_n anoint_v by_o god_n to_o deny_v christ_n and_o yet_o they_o may_v at_o the_o same_o time_n answer_n we_o disagree_v not_o about_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n for_o we_o both_o believe_v it_o he_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o the_o virgin_n mary_n etc._n etc._n from_o whence_o it_o be_v plain_a there_o be_v nothing_o in_o the_o objection_n but_o they_o who_o deny_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n deny_v his_o person_n and_o hereby_o the_o true_a object_n of_o the_o christian_a faith_n be_v remove_v viz._n immanuel_n or_o god-man_n in_o one_o person_n this_o object_n we_o be_v to_o believe_v in_o for_o eternal_a life_n and_o salvation_n but_o he_o that_o deny_v he_o be_v god-man_n remove_v that_o object_n and_o he_o which_o assert_n he_o be_v of_o another_o nature_n bring_v in_o another_o object_n in_o his_o room_n for_o faith_n depend_v not_o upon_o a_o empty_a name_n but_o have_v respect_n to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o person_n believe_v in_o there_o can_v be_v no_o act_n without_o a_o object_n the_o object_n of_o our_o faith_n be_v not_o the_o bare_a name_n but_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o person_n believe_v in_o no_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o believe_v in_o god_n that_o know_v nothing_o of_o his_o nature_n 9.10_o psal_n 9.10_o they_o that_o know_v thy_o name_n will_v put_v their_o trust_n in_o thou_o viz._n the_o nature_n of_o god_n signify_v by_o his_o name_n in_o like_a manner_n no_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o believe_v in_o christ_n that_o deny_v his_o nature_n from_o whence_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o they_o who_o deny_v and_o they_o who_o assert_v this_o principle_n do_v not_o believe_v in_o the_o same_o person_n the_o christ_n of_o god_n be_v immanuel_n god-man_n the_o eutychian_o the_o arian_n the_o socinian_o christ_n be_v not_o god-man_n therefore_o the_o christ_n they_o worship_v be_v not_o the_o christ_n of_o god_n and_o can_v they_o walk_v together_o that_o disagree_v about_o the_o object_n of_o their_o faith_n can_v any_o have_v communion_n with_o they_o who_o deny_v the_o true_a christ_n and_o bring_v another_o in_o his_o room_n hereupon_o three_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o that_o importance_n that_o a_o man_n can_v be_v say_v to_o be_v a_o true_a believer_n in_o jesus_n christ_n that_o deni_v it_o for_o if_o there_o can_v be_v no_o act_n of_o faith_n without_o the_o true_a object_n of_o faith_n and_o this_o be_v jesus_n christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n or_o the_o immanuel_n god_n with_o we_o than_o they_o who_o believe_v the_o contrary_a want_v the_o object_n of_o faith_n viz._n the_o true_a christ_n they_o have_v no_o faith_n in_o he_o and_o so_o be_v yet_o unbeliever_n and_o therefore_o shall_v remember_v that_o text_n john_n 3.18_o he_o that_o believe_v on_o he_o be_v not_o condemn_v but_o he_o that_o believe_v not_o be_v condemn_v already_o because_o he_o have_v not_o believe_v on_o the_o name_n of_o the_o only_o beget_v son_n of_o god_n by_o the_o name_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n his_o essential_a perfection_n be_v signify_v exod._n 34.5_o 6._o and_o if_o we_o thus_o understand_v the_o name_n of_o christ_n in_o the_o text_n they_o be_v yet_o unbeliever_n that_o believe_v not_o his_o divine_a nature_n and_o the_o perfection_n thereof_o or_o which_o be_v all_o one_o that_o record_n which_o god_n have_v give_v of_o he_o which_o be_v 5.10_o 1_o john_n 5.10_o that_o as_o he_o have_v give_v eternal_a life_n so_o that_o eternal_a life_n be_v in_o his_o son_n or_o as_o mention_v v._n 20._o that_o he_o be_v true_a god_n and_o eternal_a life_n and_o a_o like_a argument_n they_o have_v against_o we_o and_o therefore_o it_o be_v very_o plain_a there_o can_v be_v no_o communion_n together_o for_o we_o must_v not_o have_v communion_n with_o unbeliever_n 2_o cor._n 6.14_o four_o hereupon_o likewise_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o such_o a_o nature_n as_o they_o who_o deny_v it_o deny_v the_o lord_n that_o hought_v they_o as_o the_o false_a teacher_n 2_o pet._n 2.1_o by_o deny_v the_o lord_n here_o it_o can_v be_v suppose_v the_o apostle_n mean_v a_o direct_a deny_v of_o jesus_n christ_n to_o be_v the_o messiah_n because_o first_o they_o shall_v be_v teacher_n among_o they_o which_o they_o can_v not_o be_v if_o they_o open_o deny_v christ_n second_o they_o shall_v do_v it_o privy_o and_o this_o will_v be_v a_o open_a denial_n three_o they_o do_v it_o by_o those_o damnable_a heresy_n which_o they_o privy_o bring_v in_o they_o shall_v bring_v in_o such_o heresy_n that_o shall_v deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o and_o what_o heresy_n can_v there_o be_v that_o more_o plain_o deni_v the_o lord_n than_o that_o which_o deni_v what_o he_o be_v he_o that_o deni_v i_o be_o of_o the_o nature_n of_o man_n certain_o deni_v i_o who_o be_o a_o man_n and_o so_o he_o that_o deny_v christ_n be_v of_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n certain_o deni_v that_o lord_n who_o be_v god_n if_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n consist_v of_o the_o divine_a and_o humane_a nature_n than_o he_o which_o deni_v the_o nature_n deni_v the_o person_n for_o if_o that_o name_n belong_v to_o a_o person_n of_o such_o nature_n then_o take_v away_o the_o nature_n and_o you_o leave_v only_o a_o empty_a name_n a_o name_n of_o nothing_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a therefore_o to_o say_v that_o both_o own_o jesus_n christ_n they_o who_o deny_v the_o nature_n of_o christ_n deny_v his_o person_n and_o they_o who_o deny_v his_o person_n deny_v the_o lord_n that_o buy_v they_o and_o therefore_o be_v incommunicable_a six_o this_o principle_n be_v that_o rock_n upon_o which_o christ_n have_v

consequent_o can_v be_v no_o member_n of_o it_o objection_n it_o be_v object_v that_o both_o party_n believe_v that_o proposition_n that_o christ_n be_v the_o son_n of_o the_o live_a god_n answer_n i_o answer_v it_o be_v impossible_a for_o if_o we_o do_v understand_v the_o same_o thing_n by_o it_o we_o have_v not_o the_o same_o faith_n whilst_o one_o assert_n by_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v mean_v his_o divine_a nature_n and_o the_o other_o that_o by_o it_o be_v mean_v humane_a nature_n only_o both_o can_v believe_v the_o truth_n contain_v in_o this_o proposition_n and_o each_o party_n must_v suppose_v the_o other_o to_o deny_v that_o rock_n upon_o which_o christ_n have_v build_v his_o church_n and_o therefore_o can_v be_v member_n thereof_o seven_o it_o be_v a_o principle_n of_o such_o consequence_n that_o the_o christian_a religion_n stand_v or_o fall_v with_o it_o as_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n so_o there_o can_v be_v but_o one_o true_a religion_n now_o there_o be_v three_o religion_n in_o the_o world_n each_o of_o which_o plead_v to_o be_v the_o true_a religion_n viz._n the_o mahometan_a the_o jewish_a and_o the_o christian_n i_o shall_v therefore_o follow_v monsieur_n abbadie_n in_o his_o french_a treatise_n of_o the_o divinity_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n show_v first_o that_o if_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o true_a god_n
