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

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

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

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
