a_o letter_n of_o resolution_n concern_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o incarnation_n you_o be_v please_v sir_n to_o demand_v of_o i_o the_o general_a reason_n why_o the_o unitarian_n or_o as_o other_o now_o call_v we_o the_o socinian_o have_v depart_v from_o the_o catholic_n doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n in_o which_o all_o other_o sect_n and_o denomination_n of_o christian_n do_v agree_v and_o contend_v also_o for_o they_o as_o fundamental_a doctrine_n it_o be_v true_a sir_n that_o we_o be_v alone_o in_o our_o belief_n or_o opinion_n of_o but_o one_o god_n or_o what_o be_v the_o same_o but_o one_o who_o be_v god_n even_o the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n christ_n and_o as_o we_o be_v alone_o so_o we_o be_v a_o little_a flock_n if_o our_o reason_n be_v no_o more_o considerable_a than_o our_o number_n we_o shall_v be_v very_o contemptible_a to_o our_o opposer_n the_o case_n be_v once_o otherwise_o there_o be_v no_o ecclesiastical_a historian_n but_o have_v note_v the_o time_n when_o all_o the_o world_n be_v against_o athanasius_n and_o athanasius_n against_o all_o the_o world_n but_o it_o avail_v very_o little_a that_o we_o can_v say_v fuimus_fw-la tree_n suit_n ilium_n and_o that_o which_o you_o have_v demand_v of_o i_o be_v what_o be_v our_o reason_n not_o how_o it_o have_v come_v to_o pass_v or_o by_o what_o persecution_n we_o have_v be_v reduce_v to_o so_o small_a a_o number_n i_o answer_v therefore_o our_o first_o reason_n be_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n have_v no_o solid_a or_o good_a foundation_n in_o revelation_n or_o holy_a scripture_n a_o stranger_n in_o this_o controversy_n who_o hear_v the_o sermon_n or_o read_v the_o book_n of_o some_o of_o our_o opposer_n will_v think_v that_o the_o question_n between_o we_o and_o the_o trinitarian_n be_v on_o their_o side_n as_o clear_v in_o revelation_n as_o it_o be_v confess_v to_o be_v on_o we_o in_o point_n of_o reason_n for_o this_o be_v the_o fault_n with_o which_o they_o continual_o charge_v we_o that_o we_o exalt_v reason_n above_o revelation_n and_o that_o we_o pretend_v that_o a_o force_n how_o great_a soever_o be_v to_o be_v put_v upon_o the_o word_n of_o revelation_n rather_o than_o we_o will_v admit_v of_o any_o doctrine_n which_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n now_o first_o it_o be_v not_o true_a that_o we_o prefer_v our_o reason_n before_o revelation_n on_o the_o contrary_a revelation_n be_v what_o god_n himself_o have_v say_v either_o immediate_o or_o by_o inspire_a person_n it_o be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o the_o clear_a demonstration_n of_o our_o reason_n but_o because_o we_o can_v suppose_v without_o disrespect_n and_o injury_n to_o god_n to_o his_o goodness_n and_o veracity_n that_o he_o have_v so_o make_v we_o that_o our_o faculty_n shall_v be_v deceive_v in_o what_o they_o clear_o and_o distinct_o perceive_v and_o because_o god_n have_v in_o revelation_n frequent_o appeal_v to_o our_o faculty_n to_o our_o understanding_n and_o reason_n therefore_o we_o conclude_v that_o what_o be_v clear_o and_o distinct_o discern_v by_o reason_n as_o true_a or_o false_a be_v so_o and_o from_o thence_o we_o infer_v that_o what_o be_v false_a in_o reason_n can_v never_o be_v true_a in_o revelation_n or_o by_o revelation_n so_o that_o whatsoever_o in_o revelation_n do_v seem_v to_o contradict_v reason_n can_v be_v nothing_o but_o our_o blunder_n our_o unskilful_a injudicious_a and_o too_o close_a adherence_n to_o the_o mere_a letter_n and_o word_n of_o revelation_n it_o be_v so_o true_a that_o we_o ought_v to_o interpret_v the_o most_o clear_a revelation_n so_o as_o not_o to_o contradict_v evident_a reason_n that_o if_o we_o neglect_v this_o rule_n we_o shall_v oft_o time_n make_v revelation_n contrary_a to_o and_o inconsistent_a with_o itself_o as_o well_o as_o to_o or_o with_o reason_n we_o shall_v be_v force_v for_o instance_n to_o say_v the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o rock_n a_o way_n a_o true_a vine_n a_o door_n and_o twenty_o more_o such_o different_a and_o contrary_a thing_n because_o revelation_n have_v clear_o and_o express_o call_v he_o all_o these_o i_o desire_v therefore_o to_o know_v why_o our_o opposer_n take_v care_v not_o to_o make_v themselves_o contemptible_a by_o maintain_v be_v a_o scripture-doctrine_n that_o the_o lord_n christ_n be_v a_o rock_n a_o way_n a_o true_a vine_n a_o door_n on_o the_o account_n that_o such_o a_o doctrine_n though_o found_v on_o the_o express_a word_n of_o holy_a scripture_n be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o yet_o have_v no_o regard_n to_o avoid_v the_o imputation_n of_o folly_n incogitance_n and_o inadvertence_n by_o contend_v this_o be_v a_o scripture-doctrine_n which_o be_v no_o less_o contrary_a to_o reason_n and_o natural_a light_n even_o this_o that_o there_o be_v three_o almighty_a and_o infinite_a person_n and_o yet_o but_o one_o god._n no_o man_n ever_o have_v by_o nature_n or_o reason_n nor_o can_v have_v any_o other_o notion_n of_o three_o god_n but_o only_o this_o three_o infinite_a and_o almighty_a person_n be_v it_o supposable_a that_o god_n shall_v give_v forth_o contrary_a manifestation_n of_o himself_o that_o he_o shall_v teach_v we_o by_o nature_n and_o reason_n to_o apprehend_v one_o god_n as_o but_o one_o almighty_a and_o infinite_a person_n and_o yet_o command_v we_o by_o revelation_n to_o believe_v one_o god_n be_v three_o such_o person_n or_o can_v we_o ourselves_o obey_v contrary_a command_n or_o believe_v contrary_a manifestation_n concern_v the_o same_o thing_n at_o the_o same_o time_n this_o foundation_n be_v lay_v we_o say_v three_o divine_a person_n a_o almighty_a father_n a_o almighty_a son_n and_o a_o almighty_a spirit_n distinct_a from_o both_o be_v in_o reason_n and_o common_a sense_n but_o the_o periphrasis_n and_o circumlocution_n for_o three_o god_n so_o that_o we_o can_v have_v no_o other_o conception_n of_o three_o god_n but_o only_o three_o such_o person_n that_o revelation_n which_o by_o confession_n of_o all_o party_n oblige_v i_o to_o believe_v but_o one_o god_n can_v never_o be_v suppose_v to_o require_v i_o to_o believe_v three_o almighty_a person_n so_o also_o reason_n assure_v i_o that_o the_o disproportion_n between_o infinite_a and_o finite_a be_v such_o that_o they_o can_v never_o be_v commensurate_a or_o make_v one_o and_o the_o same_o that_o revelation_n or_o holy_a scripture_n which_o tell_v i_o god_n be_v infinite_a that_o the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n contain_v he_o not_o can_v be_v interpret_v or_o understand_v as_o bid_v i_o believe_v that_o a_o person_n who_o be_v god_n or_o a_o infinite_a person_n and_o such_o they_o say_v every_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v can_v be_v whole_a and_o all_o incarnate_a that_o be_v unite_a and_o commensurate_a to_o a_o finite_a man._n we_o abide_v sir_n by_o this_o argument_n here_o we_o fix_v our_o foot_n never_o to_o be_v remove_v that_o the_o inconsistence_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o the_o incarnation_n with_o reason_n and_o natural_a knowledge_n be_v undeniable_o evident_a therefore_o those_o doctrine_n can_v have_v no_o real_a foundation_n in_o divine_a revelation_n that_o be_v to_o say_v in_o holy_a scripture_n but_o second_o as_o we_o consider_v that_o though_o revelation_n be_v to_o be_v prefer_v before_o reason_n and_o always_o interpret_v by_o reason_n for_o the_o cause_n already_o give_v so_o we_o can_v but_o profess_v ourselves_o surprise_v that_o any_o shall_v have_v the_o confidence_n to_o pretend_v that_o there_o be_v clear_a and_o express_a revelation_n on_o behalf_n of_o the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n in_o the_o name_n of_o wonder_n what_o do_v these_o gentleman_n mean_v by_o express_v and_o clear_a revelation_n do_v they_o mean_v that_o they_o have_v find_v out_o some_o text_n which_o direct_o and_o express_o say_v there_o be_v a_o trinity_n of_o divine_a person_n who_o be_v but_o one_o god_n or_o which_o say_v the_o son_n or_o second_o person_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v incarnate_a if_o they_o have_v any_o such_o text_n to_o produce_v we_o shall_v grant_v they_o they_o have_v a_o express_a revelation_n for_o those_o doctrine_n but_o in_o very_a deed_n they_o mean_v no_o such_o thing_n but_o by_o clear_a and_o express_a

the_o trinity_n and_o incarnation_n be_v provable_a by_o certain_a most_o remote_a and_o strain_a consequence_n from_o some_o such_o text_n of_o revelation_n or_o scripture_n as_o either_o be_v of_o
