A74986	An antidote against heresy: or a preservative for Protestants against the poyson of Papists, Anabaptists, Arrians, Arminians, &c. and their pestilent errours. Shewing the authors of those errours, their grounds and reasons, the time when and occasion how they did arise; with general answers to their arguments taken out of holy scripture and the ancient fathers. Written to stay the wandering and stablish the weak in these dangerous times of Apostasy. / By Richard Allen, M.A. sometime Fellow of Penbrooke [sic] Colledge in Oxford.	Allen, Richard, b. 1604 or 5.	1648 (1648)	Wing A1045A; Thomason E1168_2; ESTC R208803	57,457	159

and used many ways and manifold sleights to elude this sacred truth but all drive at this one end even to spoil if it were possible our Saviour Christ of his Divinity and so destroy at one blow the whole body of Christianity The Antidote we shall divide into three doses or propositions 1. That there are three persons in the eternal Godhead c. sc Father Son and holy Ghost 2. That the Son is God everlasting equal with the Father 3. That the holy Ghost is God everlasting equal with the Father and the Son 1. That there are three persons in the Godhead c. Gen. 1.26 And God said let us make man in Our Image Gen. 3.23 And the Lord God said behold the man is become as one of us Isa 6.8 And I heard the voyce of the Lord saying whom shall I send and who will go for us I plainly expressing the unity of essence and Vs the plurality of persons Gen. 19.24 And the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah fire and brimstone from the Lord out of heaven Hosea 1.6 7. God said unto them I will save them by the Lord their God So Zech. 2.8 9. 3.2 Psa 2.7 the Lord said unto me thou art my son Gen. 1.2 The Spirit of God moved upon the waters Mat. 3.16 17. 28.19 The Father Son and Holy Ghost are plainly and distinctly named So 1 Ioh. 5.7 There are three that hear record in heaven the Father the Word that is the Son and the Holy Ghost We see how this sacred truth which at the beginning was more obscure in every age grew clearer and clearer like the morning light till it came to perfect day first a plurality of persons is intimated then a Trinity is expresly named and lastly a plain difference or distinction is made of divers persons one speaking of or to the other and both are called the Lord of hosts and Lord God So Iob. 8.17 18. The witness of two men is true I am one c. plainly making his Father and himself two Ioh. 5.32.37 There is another that beareth witness of me sc the Father and Ioh. 14.16 17. And he will send you another Comforter even the Spirit of truth Here the word another puts a manifest and plain dif●erence between the Father Son and Holy Ghost so that there is another and ●nother i three distinct persons in the Godhead but not another and another ●hing for one single undivided essence is ●ommon to all three Joh. 15.26 The Comforter c. which cometh out from the Father Joh. 16.28 I came out from the Father Now by these emanations or comings out of the Son and Holy Ghost from the Father it is evident that they are distinct persons from the Father each of them having a true subsistence proper to himself And yet these three persons are but one essence three in one and one in three differing but not divided several but not sundered many and yet one all distinct for their persons all one for their nature substance or essence according to that 1 Joh. 5.7 and these three are one Object In this text we are to understand not an unity of essence but of consent or agreement as it is more plainly exprest v. 8. and these three agree in one Sol. In these two verses the Apostle opposeth the heavenly and earthly witness or the testimony of men and the testimony of God The earthly witness he calls the testimony of men in the plural number because they are three in number and though they agree in one yet they are not one but three different and distinct things The heavenly witness he calls the testimony of God in the singular number v. 9. knitting three in one because though they are three in number yet they are but one in nature three persons in one substance or essence and so three bear witness in heaven and yet all is the testimony but of one God Secondly The Son is God everlasting c. Isa Who shall declare his generation Joh. 1.14 18. 1 Joh. 4.9 The only begotten Son of the Father He is not a Son by grace either of Creation as the Angels or Adoption as the Saints are for then he were neither the only Son nor begotten To which of the Angels said he at any time thou art my son Heb. 1.8 No for though they are all the sons of God by Creation yet this is the only Son by generation and God hath no other The Son of God then cannot be a creature as wicked Arrians affirm because he is begotten for if he were made created or adopted then he were not the begotten Son nor the only Son because by creation and adoption God hath more sons then one Now begetting is always of the nature and substance of the parents and so this Son is begotten of Gods own substance therefore also called his Own Son Rom. 8.32 And because God is a most single essence that cannot be divided or communicate it self by parts therefore he hath not a part as the sons of men have but the whole substance of his Father and so must needs be one God with the Father He must needs also be coequal of the same power and majesty and coeternal too everlasting as the Father himself is everlasting because being both but one substance or essence they were never nor could be one without the other He is called in Scripture expresly God as Isa 9.6 The mighty God Tit. 2.13 The great God 1 Joh. 5.20 The true God Rom. 9.5 God over all Psa 40.7 Heb. 1.8 to the Son he saith thy Throne O God endureth for ever Such works are ascribed to him as agree only to God 1. The work of Creation Ioh. 1.3 All things were made by him Of Preservation Heb. 1.3 All things are upheld by him Mat. 9.2 Forgiveth sins Ioh. 10.28 giveth eternal life which none but God o● do and Ioh. 5.19 whatsoever the Father doth that the Son doth likewise The essential attributes of God are given to him as 1. Omnipotency Rev. 1.8 Eternity Isai 9.6 Omniscience John 21.17 He is equal with the Father John 5.18 Phil. 2.6 Divine worship is given to him which is due only to God Psal 97.7 Worship him all ye Gods Heb. 1.6 Let all the Angels of God worship him Which were plain Idolatry if he were a creature and John 5.23 the same honor is due to the Son that is due to the Father The Apostles profess themselves the servants of Jesus Christ Rom. 1.1 2 Pet. 1. 1. Jude 1. Rev. 1.1 We are commanded to trust in him Isai 11.10 Rom. 15.12 To beleeve in him as we do in God John 14.1 and Psalm 2. ●2 Blessed are all they that put their trust in him But Jer. 17.5.7 it is Cursed are all they that trust in man and make flesh their arm and whose heart departeth from the Lord It is apparent then that the Son is God equal with the Father Thirdly The Holy Ghost is
