But when our Reason has left us and our Bibles are gone they may decree and impose to good purpose tho they can never dispute with success In the mean time there is not a single Unitarian but will heartily pity the mistaken Tritheists who have a Zeal but not according to knowledg and be always imitating the Blessed Jesus in praying in the same manner and to the same Object as he did even to his Father and our Father to his God and our God that the thoughts of their hearts may be forgiven 'em Joh. 20.17 that they may know the Father to be the only true God and glorify him chap. 17.3 even as Christ himself glorify'd him chap. 17.4 that they may be sanctified thro the Truth and like true Worshipers worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth as Christ himself did Joh. 14.16 For the Father seeketh such to worship him who bow their Knees to the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ unto whom be glory in the Church by Jesus Christ throughout all Ages world without end Amen Eph. 3 14-21 Now the God of patience and consolation grant Rom. 15.5 6. that the Vnitarians and their mistaken Brethren the Tritheists may be of one Faith likeminded one towards another according to Jesus Christ that we may with one mind and one mouth glorify God even the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ And let all the People say Amen Thus Sir have I given you some general Remarks upon these two new Writers and their successless Performances and tho my leisure will not admit me and the merits of the Authors do not require me to make a distinct reply to every particular Text they pervert yet I 'm satisfy'd these few Observations and Replys I have made are sufficient to obviate the Scruples they have rais'd in the Minds of a few unwary Christians I am SIR With great Veneration Y. v. h.
