The moderate Trinitarian containing a description of the Holy Trinity, both according to Scripture, and approved authors for learning, and adherence to the Trinitarian doctrine : being an argument shewing that moderation may and ought to be shewn by and to persons of different conceptions concerning some circumstances relating to the knowledg of the Holy Trinity : together with a short reply to Mr. Joseph Taylor's Brief inquiry whether those who own, and those who deny the divinity of Christ, may communicate together / by Daniel Allen.

our_o intention_n may_v be_v yet_o if_o our_o device_n want_v authority_n from_o sacred_a record_n we_o mar_v instead_o of_o mend_v for_o as_o there_o be_v a_o time_n for_o every_o purpose_n so_o be_v there_o a_o rule_n for_o every_o practice_n god_n be_v the_o god_n of_o order_n and_o the_o supreme_a giver_n of_o a_o rule_n in_o all_o institution_n and_o worship_n and_o when_o beyond_o the_o express_a rule_n we_o shall_v foist_v in_o any_o formality_n in_o duty_n we_o cast_v dishonour_v on_o they_o of_o old_a to_o wit_n the_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n yea_o christ_n and_o god_n himself_o as_o if_o he_o have_v be_v short_a in_o give_v sufficient_a rule_n or_o christ_n and_o his_o follower_n short_a in_o understand_v he_o and_o thus_o endeavour_v to_o mend_v formality_n beyond_o rule_n or_o express_v precept_n or_o example_n have_v as_o i_o hint_v before_o occasion_v all_o or_o most_o of_o the_o innovation_n in_o institution_n and_o form_n of_o divine_a worship_n as_o for_o example_n because_o christ_n say_v except_o you_o eat_v the_o flesh_n of_o the_o son_n of_o god_n and_o drink_v his_o blood_n you_o have_v no_o life_n in_o you_o therefore_o as_o if_o person_n be_v bind_v to_o take_v more_o care_n for_o their_o child_n than_o god_n himself_o direct_v for_o many_o age_n they_o give_v they_o the_o lord_n supper_n though_o they_o have_v no_o express_a scripture_n for_o it_o likewise_o because_o the_o apostle_n say_v make_v melody_n to_o the_o lord_n and_o rejoice_v and_o again_o i_o say_v rejoice_v and_o the_o like_a therefore_o without_o rule_n some_o have_v invent_v organ_n as_o proper_a to_o heighten_v rejoice_n likewise_o because_o the_o scripture_n say_v confess_v your_o fault_n one_o to_o another_o therefore_o the_o roman_a church_n have_v invent_v auricular_a confession_n and_o true_o though_o i_o will_v be_v spare_v in_o comparison_n yet_o i_o will_v have_v all_o my_o brethren_n see_v that_o it_o be_v dangerous_a to_o add_v device_n of_o our_o own_o and_o that_o it_o be_v hardly_o sufficient_a because_o the_o scripture_n say_v there_o be_v three_o that_o bear_v record_n in_o heaven_n the_o father_n the_o word_n and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o these_o three_o be_v one_o that_o therefore_o we_o must_v say_v in_o our_o prayer_n father_n son_n and_o holy_a spirit_n three_o person_n and_o one_o eternal_a god_n when_o we_o have_v no_o precedent_n that_o ever_o any_o do_v so_o who_o yet_o know_v how_o to_o pray_v as_o well_o as_o we_o have_v the_o first_o fruit_n of_o the_o spirit_n and_o as_o i_o say_v before_o be_v the_o distinction_n of_o person_n in_o that_o one_o essence_n as_o plain_o discover_v by_o scripture_n and_o reason_n as_o the_o oneness_n of_o that_o godhead_n be_v which_o yet_o i_o must_v confess_v it_o hardly_o be_v yet_o the_o manner_n of_o our_o conception_n and_o our_o expression_n to_o and_o appellation_n of_o the_o object_n of_o worship_n in_o the_o act_n of_o worship_n must_v depend_v upon_o god_n will_n and_o christ_n direction_n and_o not_o our_o own_o device_n and_o now_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n concern_v the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o most_o high_a and_o pay_v worship_n to_o he_o i_o hope_v i_o have_v convince_o show_v the_o joint_a agreement_n on_o all_o hand_n among_o the_o party_n abovementioned_a and_o that_o at_o most_o there_o be_v but_o a_o circumstantial_a difference_n between_o they_o and_o no_o material_a one_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o their_o thought_n either_o concern_v god_n or_o worship_n unto_o he_o both_o believe_v in_o the_o very_a same_o god_n that_o create_v the_o heaven_n and_o earth_n the_o very_a same_o essence_n all_o and_o whole_a the_o very_a same_o that_o be_v and_o be_v the_o god_n of_o abraham_n isaac_n and_o jacob_n the_o same_o god_n and_o no_o other_o that_o be_v the_o god_n and_o father_n of_o our_o lord_n jesus_n the_o very_a same_o god_n that_o christ_n direct_v we_o to_o call_v father_n own_v all_o his_o essential_a property_n power_n and_o prerogative_n each_o believe_v he_o to_o subsist_v all_o and_o whole_a in_o the_o person_n of_o the_o father_n and_o under_o that_o appellation_n most_o proper_a to_o be_v worship_v only_o there_o be_v a_o little_a difference_n about_o this_o threefold_a manner_n of_o subsist_v a_o thing_n as_o have_v be_v show_v that_o god_n and_o christ_n have_v at_o least_o be_v spare_v in_o declare_v at_o any_o time_n when_o he_o make_v discovery_n of_o himself_o in_o all_o age_n and_o therefore_o i_o hope_v the_o belief_n of_o it_o not_o to_o be_v look_v upon_o so_o bind_v or_o the_o ignorance_n of_o it_o so_o damn_v as_o to_o be_v the_o test_n of_o communion_n and_o now_o according_a to_o my_o promise_n i_o shall_v come_v to_o speak_v of_o the_o second_o person_n of_o

the_o four_o treat_v particular_o of_o his_o human_a nature_n sect._n i._o show_v that_o we_o be_v all_o agree_v about_o the_o person_n of_o christ_n who_o he_o be_v great_a have_v be_v the_o mistake_v of_o many_o about_o the_o person_n of_o the_o messiah_n there_o seem_v to_o be_v in_o all_o nation_n such_o spark_n of_o light_a as_o inform_v they_o they_o have_v need_n of_o some_o one_o to_o be_v their_o friend_n to_o appease_v divine_a wrath_n and_o speak_v to_o the_o most_o high_a for_o they_o to_o which_o purpose_n the_o jew_n adhere_v to_o one_o benchochab_n in_o the_o reign_n of_o adrian_n who_o pretend_v to_o be_v the_o messiah_n but_o come_v to_o nothing_o likewise_o in_o 1666_o they_o follow_v one_o sebastius_n sevi_fw-la and_o after_o that_o one_o more_o pretend_v to_o be_v christ_n who_o both_o come_v to_o nothing_o and_o they_o now_o look_v for_o a_o messiah_n to_o come_v though_o not_o jesus_n of_o nazareth_n the_o persian_n rely_v on_o haly_n the_o turk_n on_o mahomet_n and_o the_o quaker_n say_v it_o be_v something_o within_o viz._n a_o spirit_n or_o spiritual_a substance_n and_o there_o shall_v yet_o come_v especial_o in_o the_o last_o time_n many_o pretender_n call_v themselves_o christ_n which_o shall_v be_v find_v liar_n but_o our_o brethren_n and_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o he_o and_o no_o other_o that_o be_v bear_v of_o mary_n call_v jesus_n of_o nazareth_n nail_v to_o the_o cross_n by_o the_o order_n of_o pontius_n pilate_n in_o the_o day_n of_o tiberius_n cesar_n that_o he_o i_o say_v be_v and_o be_v the_o christ_n of_o god_n the_o saviour_n of_o the_o world_n and_o why_o we_o shall_v cry_v out_o upon_o one_o another_o that_o such_o a_o one_o deny_v the_o true_a christ_n and_o believe_v in_o another_o christ_n i_o see_v no_o reason_n since_o we_o all_o agree_v that_o that_o one_o person_n bear_v of_o mary_n be_v and_o be_v the_o true_a christ_n it_o be_v true_a their_o sentiment_n and_o we_o may_v not_o be_v alike_o about_o his_o substance_n in_o his_o preexi_n before_o his_o incarnation_n but_o as_o that_o be_v a_o mystery_n hard_a for_o the_o ignorant_a to_o understand_v and_o man_n of_o the_o great_a part_n common_o lose_v themselves_o in_o it_o so_o i_o do_v not_o find_v the_o apostle_n press_v it_o as_o material_a to_o be_v believe_v in_o and_o understand_v their_o main_a design_n seem_v to_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o he_o be_v the_o same_o person_n the_o prophet_n speak_v of_o and_o to_o open_v the_o power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o his_o death_n and_o suffering_n but_o be_v very_o spare_v in_o talk_v of_o his_o preexi_n which_o yet_o if_o it_o have_v be_v necessary_a to_o salvation_n it_o seem_v to_o i_o they_o will_v have_v open_v it_o as_o well_o as_o other_o point_n but_o suppose_v our_o brethren_n mistake_v in_o their_o conception_n concern_v christ_n what_o he_o be_v before_o his_o incarnation_n yet_o have_v they_o the_o same_o respect_n and_o love_n for_o his_o person_n as_o we_o have_v believe_v he_o to_o be_v the_o very_a christ_n of_o god_n as_o much_o as_o we_o believe_v his_o death_n to_o be_v available_a and_o look_v upon_o he_o to_o be_v as_o sufficient_a a_o saviour_n as_o we_o do_v and_o since_o they_o pitch_v on_o the_o very_a same_o person_n that_o we_o do_v i_o can_v think_v that_o they_o believe_v in_o a_o false_a or_o another_o christ_n sect._n ii_o concern_v

in_o not_o hee_v the_o standard_n these_o thing_n premise_v i_o shall_v give_v my_o answer_n to_o the_o question_n and_o do_v say_v that_o to_o i_o it_o do_v not_o appear_v that_o it_o be_v the_o
