A36090	A Discourse concerning the nominal and real trinitarians		1695 (1695)	Wing D1589; ESTC R29734	36,049	42

shall_v maintain_v such_o a_o opinion_n and_o after_o have_v make_v such_o concession_n to_o the_o nominal_n and_o to_o the_o unitarian_n as_o the_o realist_n do_v they_o grant_v it_o to_o be_v certain_a and_o incontestable_a not_o only_o in_o reason_n but_o in_o holy_a scripture_n that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n but_o one_o creator_n they_o allow_v this_o to_o be_v so_o true_a and_o evident_a that_o the_o scripture_n ought_v never_o to_o be_v so_o interpret_v as_o in_o any_o degree_n to_o contradict_v this_o first_o article_n of_o all_o reveal_v religion_n because_o to_o interpret_v holy_a scripture_n at_o any_o time_n or_o in_o any_o part_n of_o it_o inconsistent_o with_o that_o article_n be_v to_o make_v it_o contradict_v itself_o and_o that_o too_o where_o it_o speak_v most_o plain_o and_o express_o i_o say_v this_o foundation_n be_v lay_v and_o agree_v on_o all_o hand_n i_o have_v often_o wonder_v at_o the_o pretence_n of_o the_o realist_n for_o their_o doctrine_n be_v a_o manifest_a tritheism_n as_o explain_v by_o they_o in_o say_v be_v what_o the_o holy_a scripture_n teach_v they_o say_v that_o the_o sacred_a scripture_n contradict_v themselves_o they_o will_v have_v it_o understand_v as_o a_o great_a deference_n on_o their_o part_n towards_o the_o holy_a scripture_n that_o they_o embrace_v and_o profess_v the_o doctrine_n therein_o contain_v though_o such_o doctrine_n very_o flat_o contradict_v all_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n and_o withal_o other_o part_n of_o the_o same_o scripture_n but_o it_o be_v far_o more_o become_v such_o as_o they_o be_v to_o express_v their_o reverence_n for_o the_o scripture_n by_o interpret_n it_o consistent_o with_o itself_o and_o with_o reason_n as_o the_o nominal_n and_o unitarian_n do_v than_o to_o expose_v it_o to_o the_o contempt_n and_o unbelief_n of_o all_o other_o by_o such_o a_o reverence_n of_o it_o as_o this_o book_n need_v not_o that_o be_v to_o say_v by_o pretend_v to_o believe_v it_o indeed_o but_o believe_v it_o as_o manifest_o inconsistent_a with_o itself_o as_o well_o as_o with_o that_o reason_n which_o god_n have_v infuse_v into_o the_o human_a nature_n for_o a_o guide_n and_o judge_n in_o all_o either_o obscure_a or_o doubtful_a matter_n it_o be_v the_o church_n and_o the_o unitarian_n that_o true_o reverence_v the_o scripture_n by_o rescue_v they_o from_o senseless_a and_o contradictory_n which_o be_v to_o say_v impossible_a sense_n but_o suppose_v it_o be_v true_a that_o the_o mere_a word_n of_o some_o few_o suspect_v or_o ambiguous_a text_n do_v seem_v very_o much_o to_o favour_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o realist_n yet_o see_v those_o text_n as_o interpret_v by_o the_o realist_n too_o plain_o contradict_v evident_a reason_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n why_o will_v not_o these_o gentleman_n see_v that_o in_o such_o a_o clash_n as_o this_o we_o must_v interpret_v the_o scripture_n consistent_o with_o reason_n and_o the_o nature_n of_o thing_n because_o word_n will_v bear_v to_o be_v somewhat_o strain_v much_o rather_o than_o thing_n the_o nature_n of_o thing_n and_o the_o dictate_v of_o reason_n be_v eternal_a and_o

by_o some_o of_o their_o own_o best_a writer_n on_o the_o scripture_n and_o of_o controversy_n with_o how_o much_o more_o reason_n and_o sincerity_n may_v the_o unitarian_n claim_v the_o current_n of_o scripture_n and_o that_o it_o be_v clear_a also_o on_o their_o side_n for_o there_o be_v not_o a_o page_n there_o but_o speak_v of_o god_n in_o the_o singular_a number_n there_o god_n be_v never_o call_v person_n but_o person_n he_o be_v always_o speak_v of_o and_z to_z by_o singular_a pronoun_n such_o as_o i_o thou_o thou_o he_o him_n me_n which_o be_v never_o use_v in_o any_o

of_o those_o text_n wherein_o christ_n be_v call_v god_n and_o of_o those_o in_o which_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n and_o of_o all_o thing_n be_v or_o seem_v to_o be_v attribute_v to_o he_o but_o how_o often_o be_v the_o name_n god_n give_v in_o holy_a scripture_n to_o those_o that_o either_o represent_v god_n as_o king_n and_o magistrate_n or_o that_o be_v like_a to_o he_o in_o some_o very_a distinguish_a respect_n or_o in_o who_o he_o dwell_v after_o a_o peculiar_a manner_n as_o prophet_n and_o heroical_a person_n be_v not_o moses_n for_o one_o instance_n on_o all_o these_o
