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

second_o there_o be_v then_o true_o no_v such_o great_a difference_n between_o the_o trinitarians_n and_o the_o vnitarians_n but_o that_o the_o term_n of_o church-communion_n may_v and_o shall_v

it_o seem_v this_o divine_a mind_n wisdom_n and_o power_n be_v all_o that_o the_o trinitarians_n can_v mean_v by_o their_o term_n three_o person_n the_o scripture_n as_o be_v observe_v have_v not_o

the_o trinitarians_n general_o own_o that_o one_o divine_a person_n and_o especial_o the_o father_n comprehend_v the_o godhead_n as_o the_o divine_a mind_n can_v but_o be_v consider_v as_o be_v join_v

communion_n with_o respect_n to_o so_o very_o abstruse_a and_o intricate_a matter_n i_o find_v that_o a_o mighty_a stress_n be_v lay_v on_o this_o consideration_n that_o in_o the_o second_o and_o
