A40088	A second defence of the propositions by which the doctrine of the Holy Trinity is so explained according to the ancient fathers, as to speak it not contradictory to natural reason : in answer to a Socinian manuscript, in a letter to a friend : together, with a third defence of those propositions, in answer to the newly published reflexions, contained in a pamphlet, entituled, A letter to the reverend clergy of both universities / both by the author of those propositions.	Fowler, Edward, 1632-1714.	1695 (1695)	Wing F1715; ESTC R6837	47,125	74

this_o be_v as_o much_o need_v to_o be_v prove_v as_o that_o which_o it_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v his_o only_a answer_n be_v like_a to_o be_v you_o must_v take_v this_o upon_o the_o authority_n of_o my_o lord_n of_o canterbury_n for_o he_o only_o go_v about_o to_o confirm_v it_o by_o a_o passage_n in_o his_o sermon_n on_o 1_o tim._n 2._o 5._o p._n 13._o but_o i_o not_o have_v that_o sermon_n by_o i_o and_o he_o make_v no_o mark_n to_o distinguish_v between_o what_o be_v his_o grace_n and_o what_o be_v his_o own_o it_o be_v enough_o to_o give_v he_o that_o for_o a_o answer_n his_o second_o argument_n whereby_o he_o endeavour_n to_o prove_v the_o forementioned_a self-evident_a proposition_n be_v that_o self-existence_n be_v indivisible_a and_o god_n self-existence_n be_v necessary_a and_o therefore_o if_o he_o shall_v communicate_v his_o self-existence_n to_o another_o he_o himself_o shall_v remain_v not_o self-existent_a which_o be_v a_o gross_a absurdity_n and_o a_o manifest_a contradiction_n o_o wonderful_a be_v it_o so_o indeed_o i_o marvel_v who_o tell_v he_o so_o it_o may_v be_v he_o take_v this_o too_o on_o the_o authority_n of_o some_o great_a man_n since_o he_o trouble_v not_o himself_o to_o make_v it_o out_o but_o there_o be_v as_o great_a a_o necessity_n of_o prove_v this_o also_o as_o of_o prove_v that_o of_o which_o it_o be_v a_o proof_n and_o he_o make_v this_o brave_a argument_n to_o prove_v too_o that_o infinite_a power_n be_v as_o incommunicable_a as_o self-existence_n and_o infinite_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n because_o these_o be_v also_o indivisible_a but_o the_o trinitarian_n be_v not_o so_o knock_v down_o by_o this_o unmerciful_a argument_n to_o use_v a_o phrase_n of_o his_o own_o but_o that_o he_o may_v soon_o rise_v again_o nay_o as_o goodluck_n will_v have_v it_o it_o be_v so_o weak_a a_o blow_n that_o he_o have_v not_o feel_v it_o and_o it_o will_v be_v find_v weak_a than_o a_o puff_n of_o breath_n by_o that_o time_n i_o have_v ask_v he_o this_o one_o question_n viz._n be_v not_o also_o the_o individual_a nature_n of_o every_o live_a creature_n indivisible_a but_o as_o be_v before_o say_v even_o the_o low_a sort_n of_o they_o can_v propagate_v their_o own_o nature_n which_o be_v the_o same_o thing_n with_o communicate_v it_o and_o therefore_o methinks_v it_o shall_v not_o be_v so_o great_a a_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o he_o who_o give_v be_v to_o those_o creature_n can_v do_v the_o like_a or_o if_o you_o please_v thus_o it_o be_v therefore_o no_o contradiction_n to_o say_v that_o god_n the_o father_n may_v be_v the_o original_a of_o a_o be_v which_o have_v power_n to_o do_v all_o thing_n possible_a to_o be_v do_v and_o have_v unlimited_a wisdom_n and_o goodness_n as_o to_o the_o rest_n of_o this_o animadversion_n i_o will_v not_o spend_v one_o minute_n so_o vain_o as_o to_o take_v notice_n of_o it_o for_o half_a a_o eye_n must_v see_v it_o to_o be_v nothing_o better_o than_o to_o give_v it_o his_o own_o word_n mere_a jargon_n prop._n 11._o it_o seem_v evident_a from_o the_o h._n scripture_n that_o the_o son_n and_o h._n spirit_n have_v all_o divine_a perfection_n but_o those_o two_o such_o as_o unlimited_a power_n wisdom_n and_o goodness_n and_o unspotted_a purity_n as_o to_o unspotted_a purity_n he_o grant_v that_o the_o scripture_n do_v plain_o assert_v it_o of_o our_o saviour_n but_o faith_n that_o that_o be_v but_o the_o perfection_n of_o a_o man_n or_o angel_n not_o a_o infinite_a perfection_n of_o a_o god_n i_o answer_v that_o this_o he_o only_o with_o his_o usual_a confidence_n say_v but_o tell_v we_o not_o how_o he_o come_v by_o this_o confidence_n but_o suppole_n he_o can_v demonstrate_v this_o yet_o the_o unspotted_a purity_n of_o the_o h._n ghost_n one_o will_v think_v to_o be_v the_o purity_n of_o a_o god_n since_o we_o be_v so_o assure_v from_o scripture_n that_o he_o be_v the_o author_n of_o all_o that_o purity_n and_o holiness_n which_o be_v or_o ever_o shall_v be_v find_v in_o men._n and_o he_o must_v have_v a_o large_a stock_n of_o confidence_n who_o dare_v say_v that_o the_o purity_n which_o excel_v not_o that_o of_o a_o man_n or_o angel_n be_v sussicient_a to_o qualify_v a_o person_n to_o be_v the_o sanctisier_n of_o all_o that_o be_v or_o shall_v be_v sanctify_v and_o if_o the_o purity_n of_o the_o h._n ghost_n be_v the_o purity_n of_o a_o god_n i_o hope_v the_o son_n purity_n may_v be_v acknowledge_v so_o to_o be_v too_o sure_o those_o socinian_o who_o believe_v the_o h._n ghost_n to_o be_v a_o person_n will_v not_o make_v he_o to_o excel_v the_o son_n in_o holiness_n next_o he_o cavil_v at_o my_o say_n that_o this_o 11_o proposition_n seem_v evident_a to_o i_o and_o say_v that_o seem_v and_o evident_a be_v two_o word_n very_o ill_o put_v together_o because_o that_o which_o do_v but_o seem_v evident_a be_v not_o real_o so_o and_o that_o which_o be_v evident_a do_v more_o than_o seem_v so_o i_o see_v sir_n i_o must_v not_o hope_v to_o please_v this_o friend_n of_o you_o i_o very_o think_v he_o be_v about_o to_o praise_n i_o for_o my_o it_o seem_v evident_a for_o he_o say_v upon_o it_o that_o seem_v be_v a_o word_n that_o speak_v the_o modesty_n of_o a_o ingenuous_a enquirer_n after_o truth_n and_o on_o the_o contrary_a that_o evident_a fill_v the_o mouth_n of_o a_o man_n of_o confidence_n as_o by_o the_o

that_o second_o it_o be_v utter_o false_a that_o that_o which_o be_v evident_a do_v more_o than_o seem_v so_o to_o all_o person_n there_o be_v many_o evident_a truth_n that_o to_o those_o who_o shut_v their_o eye_n against_o the_o light_n may_v not_o so_o much_o as_o seem_v so_o and_o there_o be_v those_o who_o be_v sensible_a of_o the_o weakness_n of_o their_o understanding_n may_v say_v of_o very_o evident_a truth_n this_o or_o that_o seem_v or_o appear_v evident_a to_o they_o but_o we_o shall_v not_o in_o haste_n sir_n catch_v your_o friend_n at_o the_o extreme_a of_o modesty_n for_o whatsoever_o seem_v not_o agreeable_a with_o his_o reason_n which_o we_o have_v find_v to_o be_v a_o clear_a and_o strong_a reason_n indeed_o must_v be_v immediate_o contrary_a to_o natural_a reason_n and_o he_o be_v only_o puzzle_v at_o comprehend_v god_n way_n not_o god_n himself_o and_o his_o glorious_a attribute_n and_o he_o can_v comprehend_v whatsoever_o he_o understand_v and_o now_o follow_v another_o of_o his_o modest_a say_n viz._n that_o this_o proposition_n we_o be_v now_o upon_o do_v not_o so_o much_o as_o seem_v evident_a from_o scripture_n and_o he_o wish_v i_o have_v cite_v some_o of_o the_o plain_a text_n to_o my_o purpose_n but_o he_o have_v have_v enough_o of_o those_o cite_v by_o other_o trinitarian_n many_o of_o which_o the_o socinian_o so_o play_v the_o critic_n upon_o

and_o heat_n that_o can_v neither_o see_v nor_o feel_v yet_o i_o be_o a_o little_a mistake_v if_o heat_v and_o light_n too_o can_v have_v some_o operation_n on_o body_n which_o have_v never_o a_o

be_o so_o dull_a as_o to_o be_v utter_o unable_a to_o imagine_v but_o that_o light_n will_v be_v light_a whatsoever_o be_v to_o be_v think_v of_o colour_n though_o there_o be_v no_o eye_n to_o

less_o close_a collection_n be_v what_o we_o call_v heat_n and_o that_o flame_n differ_v from_o fire_n as_o it_o be_v a_o more_o disperse_a collection_n of_o these_o particle_n than_o fire_n and_o light_n from_o both_o as_o it_o be_v a_o thin_a collection_n of_o they_o than_o either_o of_o the_o other_o i_o say_v i_o do_v not_o think_v that_o our_o author_n as_o skill_v as_o he_o be_v content_a to_o be_v think_v to_o be_v in_o physics_n though_o not_o in_o metaphysic_n can_v demonstrate_v that_o these_o be_v absurd_a notion_n sect._n 70._o there_o be_v nothing_o to_o be_v take_v notice_n

of_o god_n the_o father_n have_v now_o do_v with_o my_o adversarie_n reflection_n upon_o the_o 28._o proposition_n i_o will_v make_v bold_a to_o argue_v a_o while_n with_o himself_o and_o to_o give_v

of_o a_o substance_n if_o you_o will_v now_o be_v define_v this_o thing_n call_v substance_n by_o certain_a of_o its_o property_n i_o can_v for_o bear_v proceed_v to_o ask_v what_o be_v the_o
