A49188	The scripture-terms of church-union, with respect to the doctrin of the trinity confirmed by the unitarian explications of the beginning of St. John's Gospel; together with the Answers of the Unitarians; to the chief objections made against them: whereby it appears, that men may be unitarians, and sincere and inquisitive, and that they ought not to be excluded out of the church-communion. With a post-script, wherein the divinity of Christ, and of the Holy Ghost, according to the generality of the terms of scripture, is shewn, not to be inconsistent with the unitarian systems. Most earnestly and humbly offered to the consideration of those, on whom 'tis most particularly incumbent to examin these matters. By A.L. Author of the Irenicum Magnum, &c.

the_o son_n be_v but_o one_o person_n but_o it_o be_v evident_a that_o the_o father_n be_v a_o intelligent_a be_v and_o the_o son_n a_o distin_v intelligent_a be_v from_o the_o father_n the_o father_n

therefore_o the_o bishop_n right_o call_v this_o monstrous_a doctrine_n scholastic_a gibberish_n whereas_o the_o scripture_n not_o only_o never_o call_v christ_n a_o god_n man_n but_o in_o a_o great_a

the_o trinitarian_n reply_n that_o except_o the_o godhead_n and_o the_o man_n jesus_n christ_n be_v suppose_v to_o make_v but_o one_o person_n christ_n can_v not_o be_v say_v as_o be_v be_v to_o do_v those_o thing_n which_o none_o but_o the_o divine_a power_n do_v therefore_o it_o must_v be_v infer_v that_o this_o one_o person_n christ_n be_v god-man_n and_o imply_v a_o divine_a and_o a_o human_a
