A64013	Two letters concerning the Holy Trinity reconciling together in some measure the semi-Arian and the Trinitarian systems, concerning Christ's divinity, and inquiring, whether the term persons, speaking of God, shou'd be impos'd in acts of church-communion : to be offered to the consideration of the learned, in order to their giving their opinion and reasons concerning the things herein mentioned.		1680 (1680)	Wing T3456; ESTC R38384	16,482	18

two_o letter_n concern_v the_o holy_a trinity_n reconcile_a together_o in_o some_o measure_n the_o semi-arian_n and_o the_o trinitarian_n system_n concern_v christ_n divinity_n and_o inquire_v

***_o i_o consume_v my_o spirit_n daily_o in_o study_v more_o and_o more_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o can_v cease_v that_o study_n for_o fear_v i_o shall_v be_v want_v to_o my_o duty_n on_o the_o one_o hand_n or_o the_o other_o but_o after_o all_o i_o can_v find_v no_o rest_n but_o in_o the_o seem_a generality_n of_o the_o expression_n of_o scripture_n i_o believe_v there_o may_v be_v more_o imply_v in_o those_o expression_n or_o they_o may_v import_v otherwise_o than_o all_o man_n be_v aware_a of_o but_o then_o the_o scripture_n be_v so_o mysterious_a and_o obscure_a about_o this_o point_n do_v it_o not_o seem_v to_o be_v to_o the_o intent_n to_o try_v the_o best_a industry_n and_o search_n of_o every_o one_o in_o particular_a and_o our_o moderation_n in_o so_o

no_o man_n be_v to_o judge_v for_o another_o the_o ancient_n so_o far_o as_o i_o can_v perceive_v seem_v very_o much_o divide_v and_o uncertain_a in_o their_o judgement_n about_o this_o obscure_a subject_n by_o the_o expression_n of_o the_o primitive_a doctor_n that_o begin_v to_o platonize_v among_o christian_n it_o seem_v that_o they_o incline_v most_o to_o semi-arianism_a as_o i_o also_o in_o some_o measure_n do_v mollify_a the_o arian_n system_n as_o i_o think_v be_v the_o true_a import_n of_o it_o rational_o understand_v i_o seek_v only_a counsel_n and_o instruction_n and_o desire_v to_o be_v true_o humble_a and_o moderate_a as_o i_o ought_v to_o be_v and_o pray_v god_n i_o may_v actual_o discharge_v my_o whole_a duty_n i_o believe_v that_o the_o godhead_n be_v as_o intimate_o unite_v with_o christ_n as_o possible_a and_o that_o not_o only_o the_o divine_a power_n continual_o assist_v he_o so_o that_o he_o dispose_v of_o it_o as_o a_o man_n dispose_v of_o his_o arm_n or_o hand_n which_o be_v mere_o by_o desire_v or_o will_v but_o also_o that_o the_o divine_a wisdom_n constant_o illuminate_v and_o conduct_n his_o soul_n as_o our_o soul_n do_v our_o body_n insomuch_o that_o he_o be_v thereby_o enable_v to_o represent_v god_n at_o the_o head_n of_o the_o universe_n and_o i_o do_v not_o see_v what_o more_o than_o this_o can_v be_v understand_v by_o the_o union_n of_o the_o divine_a with_o christ_n human_a nature_n wherefore_o by_o this_o consideration_n the_o semi-arian_n and_o trinitarian_n system_n seem_v herein_o to_o be_v near_o reconcile_v together_o by_o the_o holy_a ghost_n or_o holy_a spirit_n i_o understand_v the_o divine_a and_o sanctify_a inspiration_n and_o the_o miraculous_a or_o wonder-working_a divine_a power_n communicate_v in_o some_o
