A59822	The distinction between real and nominal trinitarians examined and the doctrine of a real Trinity vindicated from the charge of Tritheism : in answer to a late Socinian pamphlet, entituled, The judgment of a disinterested person, concerning the controversie about the Blessed Trinity, depending between Dr. S--th, and Dr. Sherlock.

he_o have_v both_o imperfect_o and_o false_o represent_v the_o opinion_n of_o the_o realist_n 1._o he_o tell_v we_o they_o say_v that_o the_o holy_a trinity_n or_o the_o three_o divine_a person_n be_v

such_o expression_n as_o we_o know_v they_o do_v the_o homoousion_n itself_o for_o one_o substance_n be_v as_o liable_a to_o a_o heretical_a sense_n as_o three_o substance_n for_o that_o may_v be_v

of_o tritheism_n and_o what_o he_o immediate_o add_v about_o three_o creator_n and_o governor_n of_o the_o world_n which_o they_o never_o own_v any_o more_o than_o three_o god_n for_o though_o there_o be_v three_o who_o be_v omnipotent_a and_o three_o who_o create_v yet_o they_o be_v so_o inseparable_o unite_v in_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v but_o one_o agent_n one_o omnipotent_a and_o produce_v but_o one_o effect_n as_o the_o catholic_n father_n conclude_v for_o this_o reason_n that_o as_o the_o scripture_n teach_v we_o that_o there_o be_v but_o one_o god_n and_o yet_o that_o the_o father_n be_v god_n the_o son_n god_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n god_n so_o it_o attribute_n the_o make_n and_o government_n of_o the_o world_n both_o to_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n and_o yet_o there_o be_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o world_n which_o be_v make_v and_o govern_v which_o prove_v that_o though_o they_o act_v as_o distinct_o as_o their_o person_n be_v distinct_a yet_o there_o be_v such_o a_o essential_a unity_n of_o will_n and_o power_n and_o operation_n from_o the_o indivisible_a unity_n of_o nature_n that_o they_o be_v but_o one_o agent_n and_o produce_v but_o one_o and_o the_o same_o effect_n but_o still_o as_o for_o the_o main_a of_o the_o charge_n that_o every_o distinct_a person_n in_o the_o trinity_n have_v

but_o not_o as_o god_n that_o he_o receive_v his_o person_n but_o not_o his_o essence_n or_o divine_a nature_n of_o the_o father_n he_o observe_v that_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o person_n without_o the_o essence_n unless_o by_o person_n in_o the_o divinity_n we_o mean_v no_o more_o than_o the_o mere_a mode_n of_o subsistence_n which_o be_v plain_a sabellianism_n so_o that_o this_o writer_n

in_o the_o trinity_n that_o each_o person_n be_v by_o himself_o in_o his_o own_o proper_a person_n as_o distinguish_v from_o the_o other_o two_o infinite_a mind_n substance_n life_n wisdom_n power_n and_o whatever_o be_v contain_v in_o the_o notion_n and_o idea_n of_o god_n instead_o of_o particular_a quotation_n for_o the_o proof_n of_o this_o i_o shall_v only_o appeal_v to_o the_o title_n of_o the_o several_a section_n of_o that_o learned_a work_n which_o i_o believe_v no_o man_n can_v make_v common_a sense_n of_o without_o acknowledge_v a_o trinity_n of_o proper_a substantial_a subsist_v

of_o christian_n and_o this_o he_o prove_v to_o be_v the_o constant_a doctrine_n of_o all_o the_o catholic_n father_n for_o the_o first_o three_o hundred_o year_n and_o so_o it_o continue_v to_o after-age_n now_o let_v any_o man_n consider_v what_o a_o pretty_a kind_n of_o dispute_v this_o be_v about_o the_o preexistence_n of_o the_o son_n if_o he_o have_v no_o proper_a permanent_a

the_o holy_a ghost_n proceed_v from_o father_n and_o son_n a_o true_a living_n omnipotent_a omniscient_a subsist_v spirit_n this_o be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o those_o who_o our_o modern_a socinian_n

unsincere_a in_o his_o account_n of_o the_o nominalist_n 13._o as_o of_o the_o realist_n we_o must_v not_o conceive_v of_o the_o divine_a person_n say_v the_o nominalist_n as_o we_o do_v of_o create_v person_n very_o right_a there_o be_v a_o unconceivable_a difference_n between_o they_o as_o all_o realist_n acknowledge_v they_o be_v perfect_o distinct_a but_o yet_o inseparable_o one_o they_o never_o do_v never_o can_v subsist_v apart_o the_o same_o one_o undivided_a divinity_n subsist_v whole_a and_o perfect_a and_o yet_o distinct_o in_o each_o of_o they_o and_o be_v as_o perfect_o one_o in_o three_o as_o any_o one_o thing_n be_v one_o with_o itself_o and_o thus_o we_o allow_v what_o he_o add_v to_o be_v a_o very_a great_a truth_n and_o wish_v he_o himself_o will_v consider_v better_o of_o it_o that_o the_o conception_n we_o ought_v to_o have_v of_o their_o personality_n or_o what_o they_o be_v as_o they_o be_v person_n be_v as_o different_a from_o the_o personality_n of_o any_o create_a being_n as_o the_o perfection_n of_o the_o divinity_n be_v paramount_n to_o human_a or_o angelical_a perfection_n this_o we_o be_v sensible_a of_o and_o therefore_o do_v not_o present_o cry_v out_o of_o nonsense_n and_o contradiction_n when_o we_o be_v force_v by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n to_o attribute_v such_o thing_n to_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o person_n as_o we_o can_v find_v no_o image_n or_o idea_n of_o in_o create_a nature_n for_o we_o know_v that_o creature_n can_v be_v perfect_o like_a to_o god_n and_o consequent_o we_o ought_v not_o to_o oppose_v the_o idea_n of_o nature_n to_o revelation_n but_o the_o present_a question_n be_v not_o whether_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n be_v such_o person_n as_o create_v person_n as_o angel_n or_o man_n be_v for_o it_o be_v certain_a there_o be_v a_o unconceivable_a difference_n between_o they_o but_o whether_o they_o may_v be_v call_v person_n in_o the_o true_a and_o proper_a notion_n of_o the_o word_n person_n for_o one_o who_o do_v real_o and_o substantial_o subsist_v live_v will_n understand_v act_n according_a to_o his_o natural_a power_n and_o whether_o there_o be_v three_o such_o subsist_v live_a willing_a understand_a person_n in_o the_o godhead_n or_o only_a one_o whether_o as_o the_o father_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o so_o the_o son_n have_v life_n in_o himself_o and_o as_o the_o father_n know_v the_o son_n so_o the_o son_n know_v the_o father_n and_o whether_o the_o spirit_n of_o life_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o holiness_n and_o power_n and_o the_o spirit_n that_o search_v the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n be_v not_o a_o subsist_v live_a know_v work_a spirit_n and_o this_o be_v the_o reason_n why_o the_o church_n call_v they_o three_o person_n which_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o call_v they_o because_o the_o holy_a scripture_n distinct_o attribute_n life_n will_n knowledge_n power_n to_o these_o three_o father_n son_n and_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v the_o notion_n all_o man_n have_v of_o a_o person_n when_o apply_v to_o creature_n and_o to_o talk_v of_o three_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v not_o subsist_v live_a know_v person_n destroy_v the_o only_a reason_n for_o call_v they_o person_n but_o he_o add_v as_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o nominalist_n that_o god_n be_v but_o one_o be_v but_o one_o substance_n mind_n or_o spirit_n with_o one_o only_a will_n understanding_n energy_n or_o power_n of_o action_n but_o be_v not_o this_o in_o a_o true_a catholic_n sense_n the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o realist_n also_o as_o i_o observe_v before_o but_o this_o be_v what_o this_o disintere_v person_n will_v be_v at_o to_o distinguish_v the_o realist_n and_o nominalist_n by_o three_o substance_n and_o one_o substance_n of_o the_o divinity_n and_o be_v this_o the_o whole_a truth_n the_o realist_n will_v certain_o be_v heretic_n and_o the_o nominalist_n may_v be_v the_o orthodox_n church_n whereas_o the_o realist_n as_o they_o own_o three_o real_a subsist_v live_a person_n so_o they_o as_o constant_o profess_v the_o homoousion_n or_o one_o undivided_a substance_n and_o nature_n subsist_v and_o act_v distinct_o but_o indivisible_o and_o inseparable_o in_o three_o which_o be_v a_o real_a perfect_a subsist_v trinity_n in_o perfect_a unity_n but_o the_o nominalist_n true_o so_o call_v as_o they_o own_v but_o one_o substance_n in_o the_o divinity_n so_o but_o one_o single_a person_n which_o be_v their_o one_o god_n and_o can_v find_v a_o trinity_n only_o in_o a_o trinity_n of_o name_n or_o property_n or_o mere_a immanent_a acts._n that_o there_o be_v many_o such_o nominalist_n among_o we_o i_o fear_v be_v too_o true_a but_o i_o must_v say_v again_o that_o the_o
