all
the
Articles
of
the
Christian
Faith

or
Christian
Doctors
have
more
corrupted
the
Gospel
,
is
not
so
plain
by
the
light
of
Scripture
,
as
it
is
by
that
of
Experience
,
that
the
later
gave
occasion
,
encouragement
,
and
advantage
to
the
former
.
For
when
by
nice
and
hot
Disputes
,
(
especially
concerning
the
Second
and
Third
Persons
of
the
Trinity
)
the
minds
of
the
whole
People
had
been
long
confounded
,
and
by
the
then
late
Establishment
of
Image-Worship
,
the
Scandal
was
encreased
,
so
that
to
vulgar
Understandings
the
Doctrine
of
the
Trinity
appeared
no
less
guilty
of
Polytheism
,
then
that
of
Image-Worship
did
of
Idolatry
—
Then
was
there
a
tempting
Opportunity
offered
to
the
Impostor
,
and
he
laid
hold
on
it
,
to
set
up
himself
for
a
Reformer
of
such
Corruptions
,
as
were
both
too
gross
to
be
justified
,
and
too
visible
to
be
denyed
.
The
great
Question
concerning
the
Godhead
of
Christ
is
,
Impertinent
to
our
Lords
design
Fruitless
to
the
Contemplators
own
purpose
.
Two
Evangelists
trace
our
Lord's
Genealogy
;
but
as
they
derive
it
not
from
his
real
but
supposed
Father
,
so
do
they
take
two
several
ways
,
not
to
satisfie
but
to
amuse
us
.
What
is
this
but
to
admonish
us
against
Curiosity
?
The
Pedigree
of
his
Flesh
might
easily
have
been
,
either
cleared
or
unmentioned
:
Had
the
Evangelists
been
wholly
silent
concerning
it
,
we
had
less
wondred
;
but
that
they
should
profess
to
instruct
us
,
yet
doubly
disappoint
us
,
first
by
deriving
it
from
a
wrong
Father
,
and
then
by
distracting
us
between
two
ways
;
What
is
this
but
to
verify
the
Prophets
description
,
And
what
doth
this
so
careful
Concealment
of
his
Generation
according
to
the
Humane
Nature
signify
more
plainly
,
than
a
warning
against
searching
after
his
Eternal
Generation
of
his
Divinity
?
If
it
were
needless
(
and
therefore
left
impossible
)
to
prove
him
derived
from
which
was
one
of
his
most
revealed
Characters
;
how
can
it
be
otherwise
,
to
understand
that
Generation
of
his
,
which
must
needs
be
so
much
the
more
above
our
Understanding
,
as
the
Nature
of
God
is
above
our
own
.
And
might
not
a
Heathen
at
this
rate
justify
Polytheism
,
provided
his
Gods
disagreed
not
among
themselves
?
The
Schoolmen
therefore
will
not
stand
to
this
State
of
the
Question
,
but
distinguish
between
which
(
yet
)
they
cannot
so
do
,
as
to
satisfy
themselves
,
and
therefore
shelter
themselves
in
their
impregnable
Fort
,
and
thence
thunder
upon
the
Adversaries
both
of
this
,
and
of
another
no
less
beloved
For
they
make
this
their
Cock
argument
for
Transubstantiation
;
That
since
the
Scripture
is
no
less
express
for
the
One
than
the
Other
,
and
the
Contradictions
no
less
gross
in
the
One
than
in
the
Other
;
therefore
we
must
embrace
the
one
as
well
as
the
other
.
To
this
Objection
of
the
and
to
others
of
the
we
have
found
an
Answer
,
That
we
must
not
infer
from
our
Own
Nature
to
God's
;
for
that
Ours
is
finite
,
and
God's
is
infinite
;
Three
Persons
among
Us
are
Three
Men
,
because
they
agree
in
one
Common
Nature
;
but
the
Divine
Nature
is
not
a
Common
One
,
but
a
Singular
;
and
therefore
Three
Persons
do
not
make
Three
Gods
.
If
you
understand
not
this
,
you
must
not
wonder
,
or
at
least
you
must
not
Gainsay
it
;
for
it
is
a
Mystery
,
which
Reason
may
not
pretend
to
fathom
.
Thus
have
we
pointed
(
and
only
pointed
)
at
some
of
the
many
intangling
Questions
,
which
puzzeled
and
divided
the
subtilest
Wits
of
seveal
Ages
,
and
were
at
last
decided
by
no
other
Evidence
,
but
of
Imperial
and
Papal
Authority
;
sufficient
to
silence
Disputes
,
but
not
stablish
Truth
.
And
who
is
he
that
is
not
discouraged
from
giving
a
confident
Assent
to
what
is
this
way
obtruded
upon
his
Belief
?
There
is
danger
of
Blasphemy
in
examining
the
concerning
the
Eternity
of
the
Godhead
of
Christ
.
This
is
a
second
danger
,
That
we
have
The
only
advantage
of
the
Catholicks
is
long
Possession
,
and
that
after
Sentence
—
They
have
indeed
so
handled
Matters
,
as
to
hide
much
,
and
varnish
all
;
yet
even
so
,
we
may
pick
out
enough
to
justify
an
Appeal
,
by
observing
how
that
Possession
was
first
obtained
,
then
continued
,
and
at
last
setled
—
The
Sentence
which
first
determined
the
Controversy
Nice
]
was
not
by
the
Merit
of
the
Cause
,
but
Interest
of
the
Parties
.
This
long
and
mischeivous
Controversy
was
at
last
setled
by
who
having
received
his
Instructions
and
Baptism
from
a
Consubstantialist
,
required
all
his
Subjects
to
conform
to
that
Religion
,
which
the
Prince
of
the
Apostles
from
the
beginning
had
delivered
to
the
and
which
at
that
time
Bishop
of
Bishop
of
held
;
and
that
Church
only
should
be
esteemed
Catholick
which
worshipped
the
Divine
Trinity
with
equal
Honour
;
and
those
which
held
the
other
should
be
called
Hereticks
,
made
infamous
,
and
punished
.
This
therefore
we
may
call
setling
the
Controversy
;
because
thenceforth
all
succeeding
Emperors
,
and
Bishops
wrote
after
this
Copy
,
and
both
the
Parties
have
ever
worn
these
Titles
,
which
the
Emperor
by
his
Imperial
Power
,
as
the
unquestionable
Fountain
of
Honor
,
was
pleased
to
bestow
upon
them
.
—
Behold
now
the
Ground
upon
which
one
of
our
Fundamental
Articles
of
Faith
is
Built
;
behold
the
Justice
of
that
Plea
,
which
from
such
a
Possession
would
prescribe
to
our
Belief
.
What
more
ridiculously
silly
than
to
build
so
weighty
a
Doctrine
upon
Implicit
Faith
in
two
Bishops
,
partial
to
their
own
Sees
,
whereof
the
one
gave
it
Birth
,
and
the
other
Maintenance
?
And
what
more
odious
than
to
persecute
as
Hereticks
and
Malefactors
,
all
such
as
should
refuse
to
be
so
grosly
imposed
upon
.
Certainly
whoever
shall
carefully
observe
how
the
now
established
Doctrine
was
from
first
to
last
advanced
by
gross
Partiality
of
the
most
guilty
kind
,
and
at
last
imposed
by
a
upon
Implicit
Faith
of
two
Bishops
,
of
whose
Sees
,
the
one
brought
it
into
the
World
,
and
the
other
maintain'd
it
,
and
a
new
coin'd
Tradition
lately
obtruded
by
the
guiltier
of
those
Sees
,
but
unpleaded
,
because
unheard
of
in
those
former
,
long
and
miserable
Times
,
which
it
might
,
and
ought
to
have
delivered
from
the
Convulsions
they
suffered
:
Whoever
,
I
say
,
shall
carefully
observe
this
,
and
withal
what
foul
Tricks
the
Church
of
used
in
the
and
with
what
ill
Success
in
the
whose
Churches
did
at
last
more
Universally
embrace
's
Opinion
,
than
at
first
they
condemned
it
;
may
be
tempted
to
number
the
among
the
Doctrines
,
and
cannot
but
think
it
fairly
dealt
with
,
if
(
its
boasted
Possession
pardoned
)
it
be
left
upon
the
same
level
with
the
equally
unworthy
not
only
of
our
Faith
,
but
of
our
Study
.
If
further
we
consider
(
what
the
Historian
expresly
declareth
)
that
at
the
rise
of
this
Controversie
,
most
of
the
Bishops
understood
not
it's
meaning
,
we
cannot
think
it
necessary
to
Salvation
,
that
every
private
Christian
should
believe
that
as
an
Article
of
Faith
,
which
the
best
Ages
of
the
Church
thought
not
worth
knowing
.
An
Opinion
which
so
many
Men
as
lived
within
Years
after
Christ
,
were
so
far
from
believing
Matter
of
that
they
did
not
receive
it
as
Matter
of
nor
perhaps
of
abhor
Polytheism
,
no
less
than
do
the
If
their
Positions
seem
to
infer
it
,
they
deny
the
consequence
;
if
this
contradict
the
Rules
of
reasoning
,
they
avow
it
;
for
they
allow
Reason
no
hearing
in
Mysteries
of
Faith
:
if
this
make
them
Hereticks
,
it
is
not
in
Religion
,
but
in
Logick
.
On
the
other
side
,
the
profess
to
believe
of
Christ
whatever
himself
,
or
his
Apostles
have
spoken
;
and
where
one
expression
in
Scripture
seemeth
to
contradict
another
,
they
take
such
a
Course
to
reconcile
them
,
as
the
Laws
and
Customs
of
all
the
World
direct
.
It
is
very
frequent
for
Rhetorick
to
exceed
,
but
never
to
diminish
the
Grammatical
Character
of
a
Person
,
whose
honour
the
Writer
professeth
to
advance
:
and
upon
this
account
they
think
it
more
reasonable
,
that
those
Expressions
which
exalt
our
Saviour's
Person
to
an
Equality
with
the
Father
,
should
stoop
to
those
which
speak
him
Inferior
;
than
that
those
which
speak
him
Inferior
should
be
strained
up
to
those
which
speak
him
Equal
.
And
however
,
this
is
the
safer
Way
;
since
it
will
lead
us
to
such
a
Belief
,
as
will
suffice
for
that
end
,
for
whose
sake
alone
Belief
itself
is
required
.
Whether
any
Promise
of
God
does
necessarily
import
a
Restitution
of
the
same
Numerical
Matter
?
That
the
Words
of
St.
&c.
plainly
deny
the
Resurrection
of
the
same
Numerical
Particles
.
Whether
it
be
more
honourable
to
God
,
and
more
serviceable
to
the
design
of
the
Gospel
,
that
we
believe
the
Contrary
?
That
it
is
the
same
,

things

hath
not
seen
nor

,
nor
the
mind
conceived
what
things
God
hath
prepared
for
them

love
him
,
but
God
hath
revealed
them
to
us
by
his
spirit
,
in
what
sence
Faith
justifies
there
must
be
Heresies
,
and
there
would
be
Schisms
,
and
that
men
would
walk
after
their
own
lusts
,
and
deny
the
Lord
that
bought
them
That
it
is
so
happy
as
to
be
honoured
by
our
Lord
and
his
Apostles
as
to
be
made
the
sole
Condition
of
our
Salvation
.
And
now
what
need
of
Repentance
,
of
running
the
Gantelope
of
Mortification
,
crossing
our
Appetites
,
and
afflicting
our
Souls

What
are
the
great
merits
of
Faith
which
may
any
way
entitle
it
to
so
great
a
Reward
as
Everlasting
Life
?
Whatever
can
pretend
to
worth
,
must
make
its
claim
good
by
shewing
how
it
partaketh
the
Nature
of
God
who
is
the
first
Good
;
but
to
be
credulous
is
so
far
from
the
power
of
Divine
Life
,
that
it
is
a
plain
confession
of
Weakness
,
it
is
nothing
else
but
leaning
on
another
for
want
of
knowledge
of
its
own
:
The
simple
believeth
every
word
,
but
a
wise
man
looketh
well
to
his
going
,
said
the
wisest
of
all
Men
;
and
experience
tells
us
,
that
Children
and
Dotards
,
Women
and
Fools
,
the
Sick
and
Ignorant
are
most
easie
,
and
by
how
much
any
Man
is
wiser
,
by
so
much
he
is
warier
that
he
be
not
imposed
on
.
Had
it
any
worth
we
should
have
heard
of
it
in
Moses
and
the
Prophets
,
and
the
Philosophers
would
have
allowed
it
a
place
among
the
Vertues
:
and
the
Old
Testament
mentions
it
but
once
or
twice
,
and
that
not
by
way
of
Precept
,
but
occasionly
;
and
what
reward
can
it
possibly
deserve
,
if
I
believe
either
I
do
it
on
good
reason
or
not
,
if
I
see
good
reason
for
my
belief
,
I
cannot
deserve
reward
,
because
no
Man
can
choose
but
must
necessarily
believe
as
far
as
reason
requires
;
if
I
believe
without
reason
,
then
I
am
a
Fool
,
and
so
far
from
deserving
a
reward
,
that
I
deserve
blame
;
and
if
it
seem
hard
to
justify
our
Lord's
wisdom
in
promising
so
great
a
reward
to
a
performance
that
deserves
none
at
all
,
it
will
appear
no
less
so
to
justify
his
goodness
in
imposing
such
a
Task
no
less
difficult
than
worthless
;
for
whereas
no
small
part
of
the
good
Tidings
of
the
Gospel
is
our
Manumission
from
the
Burden
of
Moses's
Law
,
the
Yoke
of
Christ
will
seem
harder
of
the
two
;
it
is
easier
for
a
rich
Man
to
sacrifice
whole
Hecatombs
,
when
he
hath
Wealth
enough
to
purchase
them
,
than
to
pull
out
his
Eyes
;
yet
can
a
Man
easier
pull
out
the
eye
of
his
Body
,
than
his
Reason
,
which
is
not
only
the
eye
but
the
heart
,
for
it
is
his
very
definition
,
without
which
he
cannot
be
a
Man
,
it
is
God's
Image
;
and
the
Apostle
exhorts
us
to
put
on
the
new
Man
,
which
is
renewed
in
knowledge
after
the
Image
of
him
that
created
him
:
Now
that
God
should
print
his
Image
in
our
hearts
,
require
us
to
renew
it
,
yet
promise
eternal
Life
for
reward
if
we
deface
it
,
is
a
saying
harder
to
be
believed
,
than
all
the
Ceremonies
of
Moses's
Law
were
to
be
practised
.
This
and

yet
the

meant
not

it
in

sence
in
both
;
the
sence
of
it
in
the
former
is
contrary
to
the
later

we
rejoyce
that

our

blotted

we

implicit
Faith
in
the
Church
?
For
the
natural
man
perceiveth
not
the
things
of
the
spirit
;
flesh
and
bloud
cannot
reveal
them
,
nor
can
any
man
say
that
Jesus
is
the
Christ
,
but
by
the
Holy
Ghost
:
Those
who
require
implicit
Faith
on
any
other
authority
,
so
as
to
contradict
reason
,
give
God
the
lye
,
making
him
contradict
himself
;
for
Reason
is
no
less
the
word
of
God
,
than
is
the
Scripture
:
The
same
Natural
Religion
which
claimed
it
as
due
to
God
,
forbad
to
pay
it
to
any
Creature
,
upon
the
former
account
there
was
no
need
of
an
express
Precept
,
and
upon
the
later
there
was
the
greatest
need
,
not
only
of
an
express
Command
,
but
such
repeated
Importunities
as
might
out
voice
both
Reason
when
it
should
decry
such
a
Command
,
and
Interest
when
it
should
rebel
against
convinced
Reason
;
both
whereof
concurred
against
the
belief
which
our
Lord
required
.
they
concur
against
the
belief
which
our
Lord
required
.
Why
Faith
under
the
Gospel
maketh
a
greater
figure
than
under
the
Law
?
That
when
our
Saviour
first
claimed
the
publick
profession
of
Faith
in
him
,
there
were
extraordinary
reasons
for
his
Importunity
and
Promises
,
some
whereof
in
these
days
,
when
the
Christian
Religion
hath
been
long
established
,
have
lost
their
influence
,
and
by
consequence
the
importunity
of
those
Precepts
,
and
the
influence
of
those
Promises
do
now
cease
.
(
viz.
Now
that
our
Education
makes
it
as
difficult
,
and
our
Laws
as
dangerous
to
deny
Christ
,
as
it
was
then
to
confess
him
,
and
consequently
what
extraordinary
merit
Faith
might
draw
from
those
Topicks
,
must
now
be
lowered
;
and
so
Faith
will
appear
a
common
Grace
,
worthy
of
no
greater
than
common
rewards
.
The
Christian
is
alway
a
Souldier
,
and
must
fight
against
all
kinds
of
Enemies
to
Christ's
Kingdom
,
not
only
Flesh
and
Bloud
,
but
spiritual
Wickedness
,
and
whatever
would
not

the
Lord

That
if
we
believe
him

to
require
Faith
for
any
other
reason
than
as
it
is
necessary
for
our
encouragement
to
Holiness
,
in
order
to
Happiness
,
we
dishonour
him
,
because
no
other
reason
is
worthy
of
his
Majesty
or
Goodness

that

That
the
Precepts

were

for

That
if

had

,
he
ought
to
have
expresly

Cloppenburgh's
Anti-Smalcius
That
it
seemeth
plain
,
as
by
other
Evidence
,
so
by
Christ's
own
words
,
that
a
practical
Faith
is
all
that
our
Saviour
requires
;
for
when
the
Jews
came
about
him
,
and
said
,
How
long
dost
thou
make
us
to
doubt
,
if
thou
be
the
Christ
,
tell
us
plainly
.
And
he
in
answer
thereto
called
God
his
Father
:
They
took
up
Stones
to
stone
him
,
because
(
said
they
)
thou
being
a
Man
makest
thyself
God
.
He
did
not
on
so
urgent
occasion
assert
his
Right
,
but
abating
so
much
as
exceeded
their
comprehension
,
satisfied
himself
(
that
he
might
satisfy
them
)
with
what
might
be
sufficient
for
their
Conviction
to
Salvation
.
Is
it
not
written
in
your
Law
,
I
have
said
you
are
God's
,
&c.
He
speaketh
nothing
of
what
he
had
been
from
Eternity
in
himself
,
but
what
he
was
in
relation
to
the
World
,
and
in
comparison
with
all
other
Messengers
of
God
,
To
them
,
says
he
,
God
sent
his
Word
by
their
betters
,
but
it
is
not
sent
to
me
by
my
betters
,
but
by
me
to
my
inferiors
:
They
were
sent
into
the
World
the
common
way
,
and
were
afterward
sanctified
by
receiving
God's
word
.
N.
B.
but
I
was
first
sanctified
,
and
afterward
sent
,
and
if
they
who
were
less
extraordinary
were
honoured
with
a
higher
Title
,
can
it
be
Blasphemy
in
me
,
who
am
their
Superior
,
if
I
take
a
meaner
Title
?
Socinian
Babel
Thoughts
on
Dr.
's
Vindication
of
the
Trinity
That
Christ
brought
in
a
sence
of
Unction
and
Sanctification
instead
of
a
sence
of
Nature
,
That
the
Orthodox
,
as
they
call
themselves
,
can
no
way
escape
,
because
if
Christ
made
use
of
the
reason
taken
from
his
Sanctification
,
he
has
at
the
same
time
given
away
the
former
from
the
eternal
Generation
.
That
the
other
Passages
which
Dr.
alledgeth
for
Confirmation
that
it
was
in
the
bosom
of
the
Father
,
ought
to
be
explained
with
respect
to
this
express
Declaration
of
the
Saviour
of
the
World
;
so
that
if
he
said
he
was
the
Son
of
God
,
it
was
because
the
Father
had
sanctified
him
,
and
sent
him
into
the
World
;
and
according
to
this
Passage
I
may
lawfully
explain
any
other
Passage
wherein
Christ
is
called
God
,
or
Son
of
God
,
for
they
are
all
taken
from
the
Economy
or
Ministry
of
Christ
.
That
he
was
God's
Instrument
or
Agent
in
creating
the
World
That
Christ
spake
nothing
to
the
of
what
he
was
from
Eternity
in
himself
,
but
what
he
was
in
relation
to
the
World
:
I
will
declare
the
decree
,
the
Lord
hath
said
to
me
,
Thou
art
my
Son
,
this
day
have
I
begotten
thee
That
our
Saviour
on
so
pressing
an
occasion
ought
to
assert
his
Right
,
yet
spake
nothing
of
what
he
was
from
Eternity
:

Crellius
That
to
sanctifie
,
in
Scripture
,
signifies
to
separate
one
,
and
choose
him
for
some
singular
Office
,
and
to
qualifie
him
by
special
Gifts
for
the
discharge
of
that
Office
;
but
this
cannot
be
affirmed
of
him
that
is
the
most
high
God
,
such
Sanctification
and
Mission
belongs
to
Christ
only
in
respect
of
his
humane
Nature
.
That
he
must
be
a
Stranger
to
the
Scripture
,
that
is
ignorant
who
it
was
,
and
to
what
end
Christ
was
sent
into
the
World
,
both
which
will
prove
his
Godhead
,
not
barely
from
his
Mission
,
but
his
Mission
to
that
end
for
which
he
was
pre-ordained
,
which
none
could
effect
but
he
that
was
God
;
the
Work
was
too
great
for
any
,
or
all
the
Angels
of
God
,
much
more
for
any
one
Man
;
he
therefore
that
was
sent
to
such
an
end
,
the
Redemption
of
the
World
,
and
Satisfaction
to
the
Divine
Justice
,
must
be
more
excellent
than
Men

the
Mission

been

St.

We
were
redeemed

As
thou
(
O

)
hast
sent
me
into
the
World
,
even
so
I
have
sent
them

neither

neither

shall
not

there

indeed

that
of

That
the

condemns
himself
as

That

was

that

was
made
a
God
,
and
so
a
Creature
.
I
find
,
saith
the
Emperor
,
that
the
rise
of
the
Controversy
between
you
is
this
:
That
when
you
Alexander
,
required
of
your
Presbyters
what
they
thought
of
a
certain
place
in
the
Law
,
or
rather
of
a
needless
Question
;
and
you
Arius
did
imprudently
reply
,
what
you
neither
ought
to
think
,
nor
being
thought
,
you
ought
to
have
supprest
by
silence
;
the
Discord
between
you
caused
a
breach
in
your
Communion
,
whereby
the
People
also
were
divided
from
the
Unity
of
the
Church
:
wherefore
I
Exhort
,
that
each
of
you
pardoning
each
other
,
do
embrace
what
I
your
Fellow-Servant
most
justly
require
:
for
it
was
neither
fit
to
move
such
a
Question
at
first
,
nor
being
moved
to
return
such
an
Answer
to
it
;
for
such
Questions
which
no
necessity
of
the
Law
doth
prescribe
,
ought
to
be
kept
in
our
own
Breasts
,
and
not
to
be
unadvisedly
committed
to
the
Ears
of
the
Vulgar
,
lest
we
for
the
infirmity
of
our
Nature
,
not
being
able
to
explain
what
is
proposed
,
and
the
People
through
their
dulness
being
not
able
to
apprehend
it
,
they
necessarily
fall
into
Blasphemy
or
Schism
,
for
the
Contention
is
not
about
any
great
Command
of
the
Law
,
nor
is
there
any
new
Opinion
started
concerning
the
Worship
of
God
,
but
you
both
retain
one
and
the
same
Opinion
,
(
so
it
seems
the
Emperour
was
informed
)
and
therefore
may
well
live
in
the
same
Communion
,
as
the
various
Sect
of
Philosophers
do
.
Let
us
duly
consider
how
unequal
it
is
,
that
by
your
Contention
about
light
and
vain
words
,
the
People
that
lived
as
Brethren
,
should
be
divided
as
Enemies
,
by
your
strife
about
small
and
unnecessary
things
:
These
Actions
are
more
agreeable
to
the
Ignorance
of
Boys
,
than
to
the
Wisdom
of
Priests
,
and
wise
Men
;
but
seeing
you
have
the
same
Faith
,
and
the
same
Opinion
of
our
Religion
,
and
our
Law
requires
concord
of
Minds
,
and
the
Controversie
between
you
doth
not
concern
the
Substance
of
Religion
,
there
ought
not
to
be
any
discord
between
you
.

Eusebius

That
there
was
a
time
when
the
Son
of
God
was
not
;
and
that
was
made
of
things
that
were
not
,
or
that
he
had
some
other
Substance
or
Essence
created
,
or
subject
to
change
.
Of
the
Substance
of
the
Father
:
That
the
Son
was
of
the
Father
,
but
not
as
a
part
of
the
Father
:
Begotten
not
made
Was
not
to
be
understood
,
as
if
the
Son
were
of
the
Father
by
Division
,
or
any
Section
,
as
in

because
an
intellectual
and

Nature

not

Affections

of
the
Unity
in

:
Arius
If
the
Father
begot
the
Son
,
then
he
that
was
begotten
had
a
beginning
of
his
Existence
;
and
so
there
was
a
time
when
the
Son
was
not
;

so

called

A
Fore-running
of

:
I
could
wish
,
this
mischief
might
have
been
confined
among
the
Apostates
;
but
seeing
undertakes
their
Patronage
,
and
hath
written
Letters
to
recommend
them
and
their
Heresie
,
I
could
not
forbear
to
forewarn
you
of
these
Apostates
and
their
Opinions
,
and
that
you
attend
not
to

God
was
not
alway
a
Father
;
the
Word
of
God
was
not
alway
,
but
had
its
beginning
of
nothing
;
for
God
which
is
,
created
him
that
was
not
,
out
of
that
which
was
not
;
and
so
the
Son
,
they
say
,
is
a
Creature
,
not
like
his
Father
in
Substance
,
nor
the
True
Word
of
God
,
nor
his
True
Wisdom
;
but
one
of
his
Works
and
Creatures
,
but
abusively
so
called
,
being
made
by
the
Word
and
Wisdom
which
is
in
God
,
that
made
him
and
all
things
:
That
the
Son
knows
not
the
Father
,
nor
can
perfectly
know
him
;
nor
doth
he
know
his
own
Substance
what
it
is
;
but
was
made
as
an
Instrument
by
which
God
would
create
us
;
nor
had
he
been
made
,
unless
God
would
have
made
us
by
him
.
To
them
that
ask
,
whether
the
Word
of
God
could
be
changed
as
the
Devil
was
,
they
answer
,
Yea
,
that
he
is
of
a
mutable
Nature
,
because
he
was
created

so
many

followed
this
otherwise
most
grievous
Errour

It
is
very
frequent
for
Rhetorick
,
to
exceed
,

never
to
diminish
the
Grammatical
Character
of
a
Person
,
whose
Honour
the
Writer
professeth
to
advance

on
this
account
they
think
it
more
reasonable

that
those
expressions
which
exalt
our
Saviour's
Person
to
an
equality
with
the
Father
,
should
stoop
to
those
which
speak
him
inferiour

than
that
those
which
speak
him
inferiour
,
should
be
strained
up
to
those
which
speak
him
equal

as
if
ourself
had
exalted
himself
above
his
degree
,
who
so
humbled
himself
as
to
become
obedient
to
death

even

What
Changes

Additions
later

have
made
in
Matter
of
Faith

That
our
Lord
honoured
it
as
the
Great
King
did
above
all
his
Princes
:
That
he
came
into
the
World
to
advance
it
:
That
he
promised
it
eternal
Life
;
and
both
he
and
his
Apostle
make
it
half
the
Gospel
;
we
meet
it
in
every
page
of
the
New
Testament
;
and
on
sight
of
its
glory
,
we
talk
as
St.
did
when
confounded
at
the
brightness
of
our
Lord
,
we
know
not
what
.
This
is
the
Mother-Error
,
that
whereas
Faith
is
no
better
than
a
Retainer
to
Holiness
,
we
place
it
in
the
Throne
as
an
Absolute
Prince
,
and
think
it
our
Duty
to
enlarge
its
Dominions
as
far
,
and
exalt
its
Prerogative
as
high
as
we
can
,
as
if
it
were
some
precious
Diamond
,
valuable
for
its
Brightness

a
bare
profession
of

that
denying
ungodliness

,
they
should
live
righteously

soberly

in

We
consider
not
that
two
of
the
reasons
which
induced
our
Lord
to
call
so
importunately
for
it
are
expired
.
The
Difficulties
of
believing
The
Danger
of
professing
it
That
Faith
must
necessarily
be
called
for
with
importunity
suitable
both
to
the
Difficulties
and
Dangers
which
at
that
time
encompassed
it
;
and
to
the
serviceableness
which
at
all
times
accompanies
it

humorous
and
capricious

That
it
must
cast
dishonour
no

on

we
think
he
will
grant
Salvation
on
no
other
Terms
,
than
a
belief
of
the
whole
truth
concerning
the
Dignity
of
his
Person
;
for
this
will
imply
that
he
came
and
suffered
on
purpose
to
purchase
to
himself
the
honour
of
such
a
Belief
,
The
proper
Dominions
of
Faith
exceed
not
this
one
proposition
,
That
God
cannot
lye
.
Faith
is
the
hand
whereby
we
apply
Christ
to
ourselves
;
and
by
this
application
Christ
is
made
ours
,
and
his
Righteousness
imputed
to
us
,
as
if
it
were
our
own

it
justifies
not

worthiness

As
great
as
is
the

so
great
ought
the
difference
be
of
the
Honour
that
is
given
to
the
Creator
from
that
which
is
given
to
the
Creature
:
but
the
distance
between
the
Creator
and

is
the
greatest
distance
,

there
ought
to
be

is

the

on

neither
were

the

of

an
Introduction
thereunto
.
The
true
Worship
of
God
,
which
I
call
my
Religion
,
is
the
Decalogue
which
is
the
Eternal
and
Immutable
Will
of
God
,
which
I
call
mine
,
because
it
is
given
me
by
God
,
not
by
a
Voice
from
Heaven
,
but
ingrafted
in
my
mind
from
the
Creation
;
and
because
this
Ingraven
Decalogue
is
much
obscured
by
the
Corruption
of
Humane
Nature
and
wicked
Customs
,
I
add
a
Vocal
Decalogue
to
illustrate
it
,
which
Vocal
Decalogue
doth
therefore
belong
to
me
and
to
all
Men
,
because
it
agrees
with
the
Ingraven
Decalogue
,
and
is
the
same
with
it
.
This
is
my
Opinion
concerning
the
or
the
King
promised
;
and
this
is
the
Religion
which
I
ingenuously
profess
to

thought
to

when
some

skilled

perswaded
me
that
I
should
keep
in

such
things
as
are
fit
for
Priests
only
to
speak
of
,
and
for
such
as
are
already
initiated
to
hear

I
approved
of
their
Counsel
,
because
it
is
very
probable
that
some
who
are
not
yet
initiated
,
may
read
these
Books
;
wherefore
I
have
hid
,
as
much
as
I
could
,
those
Secrets
which
ought
to
be
concealed
,
acquainting
the
Reader
with
such
Decrees

they
ought
not

The

did
proceed
from

not

but
the
Word
was
begotten

therefore
do
ye
not
conceive
any
thing
different
in
the
Deity
of
the
Trinity
,
because
to
you
there
is
one

Justin

There
is
one
God
of
all

who
is
known
in
the
Father
the
Son
and
the
Holy
Spirit
,
for
since
the
Father
begot
the
Son
of
his
own
Nature
and
Essence
,
and
produced
the
Holy
Spirit
from
the
same
,
therefore
those
which
are
of
one
and
the
same
Essence
,
are
rightly
esteemed
to
be
of
one
and
the
same
Dignity
.
Christ
God
before
all
Ages
That
Son
of
God
who
alone
is
properly
called
his
Son
,
is
the
Word
that
was
with
him
before
the
World
was
made
,
as
the
Light
is
with
the
Sun
.
Neither
the
Lord
nor
the
Holy
Spirit
would
have
absolutely
named
him
God
who
was
not
God
,
unless
he
had
been
the
true
God
:
Thus
the
Lord
said
unto
my
Lord
,
Sit
thou
on
my
right
hand
until
I
make
thy
enemies
thy
foot-stool
:
Thy
throne
O
God
is
for
ever
,
Therefore
God
,
even
thy
God
,
hath
anointed
thee
The
merciful
God
in
his
love
to
Mankind
,
did
unite
God
and
Man
together
,
and
that
it
behoved
the
Mediator
of
God
and
Man
to
partake
of
the
Nature
of
both
.
The
only
Begotten
of
the
Father
of
the
Universe
,
the
Word
and
Power
properly
begotten
by
him
,
and
afterward
made
Man
by
the
Virgin
.
Triphon
,
That
the
Son
was
begotten
of
his
Father
,
not
by
way
of
Abscission
,
as
if
the
Substance
of
the
Father
was
divided
,
but
as
one
Fire
is
kindled
by
another
,
without
any
diminution
of
the
first
,
which
remains
the
same
still
;
viz.
The
Christians
are
not
Worshippers
of
many
impure
Gods
,
but
they
worship
the
Father
,
Son
and
Holy
Ghost

reason
and
in
truth

Least
any
should
think
me
ridiculous
in
saying
,
that
God
hath
a
Son
,
(
as
the
Poets
who
speak
of
Gods
which
were
〈◊〉
other
than
Men
)
the
Word
or
Reason
of
God
is
of
the
same
Form
and
Efficacie
with
the
Father
,
for
of
him
and
by
him
all
things
were
made
,
and
the
Father
and
the
Son
are
one
,
the
Father
being
in
the
Son
,
and
the
Son
in
the
Father
;
for
the
Word
of
the
Father
is
the
Son
of
God
,
united
together
in
Power
,
Vertue
and
Substance
,
but
distinguished
in
Subsistence
and
Personality
.
Justin
Martyr
That
Christ
was
begotten
not
by
any
abscission
but
by
participation
or
communication
,
because
that
which
is
cut
off
is
separated
from
the
Original
,
but
that
which
is
communicated
doth
not
diminish
that
which
doth
communicate
,
as
the
light
of
one
Torch
is
not
diminished
by
communicating
light
to
another
;
so
the
Word
going
forth
from
the
Power
of
the
Father
,
did
not
leave
the
Father
destitute
of
the
Word
.
That
the
Word
was
and
is
the
Divine
Principle
of
all
things
,
which
Word
hath
now
appeared
unto
Men
,
who
alone
is
both
God
and
Man
.
He
teacheth
us
to
live
well
,
that
he
may
as
God
bestow
eternal
Life
on
us
hereafter
:
Believe
,
O
Man
,
in
him
that
was
God
and
Man
;
believe
him
that
suffered
and
is
worshipped
,
the
living
God
;
believe
in
him
all
ye
Men
who
alone
is
the
God
of
all
Men.
That
he
is
most
manifestly
the
true
God
,
equal
with
the
God
of
the
Universe
;
the
Son
in
the
Father
,
and
the
Father
in
the
Son
:
The
Holy
God
Jesus
We
affirm'd
him
to
be
begotten
of
God
,
and
therefore
to
be
the
Son
of
God
by
unity
of
substance
,
for
both
are
one
Spirit
;
as
when
a
Beam
is
extended
from
the
Sun
,
the
Sun
is
in
the
Beam
,
because
it
is
a
Beam
of
the
Sun
,
the
substance
being
not
seperated
but
extended
;
thus
he
is
God
of
God
,
as
is
Light

for
whatsoever
thus
proceeds
from

is

can

separate
the
Son
of
from

for
both
the
Soul
and
Body
of
Jesus
were
strictly
united
with
the
Word
of
It
was
the
Temple
of
the
Word
That
Christ
being
God
and
Man
,
became
Mediator
between
us
and
his
Father
.
He
is
the
Power
,
Reason
,
and
Wisdom
of
he
descended
into
the
Virgin
,
and
was
mixt
with
Man
,
he

That

that

the

was
begotten
of
the
Substance

as
is
Beams
from

and
as
the
Sun
is
not
lessened
by
the
effusion
of
its
Beams

so
neither
is
the
Substance

diminished
by
begetting

the
Image
of
himself

Dionisius
Romanus
It
is
necessary
that
the
Word
of
be
united
to
the
of
all
,
and
that
the
holy
Spirit
remains
in
and
so
the
holy
Trinity
doth
unite
in
One
as
in
a
certain
Head
,
the
Omnipotent
of
the
Universe
I
and
the
Father
are
one
That
he
never
was
of
the
Opinion
of
but
that
he
alway
thought
our
Lord
to
be
the
Word
and
Wisdom
undivided
from
the
Father
:
For
under
the
name
of
the
Father
,
I
imply
that
he
hath
a
Son
;
and
when
I
mention
the
Son
,
I
understand
also
that
he
hath
a
Father
;
and
so
I
joyn
them
together
,
for
from
whom
should
the
Son
come
,
but
from
the
Father
?
But
the
will
not
understand
that
the
Son
cannot
be
separated
from
the
Father
,
the
names
implying
a
communion
between
them
;
and
the
Holy
Ghost
is
in
both
,
and
cannot
be
separated
from
him
that
sends
him
.
How
then
can
you
suspect
me
who
use
those
Names
,
to
have
thought
that
they
may
be
divided
or
separated
;
wherefore
you
accuse
me
falsly
,
as
if
I
had
denied
that
Christ
is
Consubstantial
with
God
:
Thus
I
said
that
the
Plant
proceeds
from
the
Seed
or
Root
,
and
is
another
thing
from
that
from
whence
it
proceeds
,
yet
is
it
of
the
same
nature
with
that
whence
it
proceeds
:
the
River
which
flows
from
the
Fountain
hath
another
name
,
for
we
do
not
call
the
River
the
Fountain
,
nor
the
Fountain
the
River
,
yet
both
do
exist
,
and
the
Fountain
is
as
a
Father
,
but
the
River
is
Water
flowing
from
the
Fountain
.

the

of

who
was
with
in
the

the
Word
as
is
said
in
the
Scripture
,
who
in
the
last
times
came
down
from
Heaven
,
and
was
born
of
a
Virgin
,
according
to
the
Scripture
:
and
in
the
Holy
Ghost
which
is
given
to
Believers
to
comfort

sanctifie
and
consummate
them
,
as
our
Lord
Christ
commanded
his
Disciples
,
go
teach
all
Nations
,
baptizing
them
in
the
Name
of
the
Father
,
Son
and
Holy
Ghost
,
who
are
three
in
Person
,
but
agree
in
One.
That
Christ
without
any
Instrument
,
Help
or
Rule
,
but
by
the
power
of
his
own
Nature
made
all
things
,
and
as
it
was
worthy
of
God
,
nothing
that
was
hurtful
,
but
all
beneficial
,
and
this
is
the
property
of
the
true
God
to
deny
his
bounty
to
none
.
When
we
say
God
the
Father
,
and
God
the
Son
,
we
do
not
speak
of
what
is
diverse
or
separated
,
because
neither
the
Father
can
be
so
called
without
the
Son
,
nor
the
Son
be
begotten
without
the
Father
,
seeing
therefore
the
Father
makes
the
Son
,
and
the
Son
makes
him
a
Father
,
there
is
in
both
one
Mind
,
one
Spirit
,
and
one
Substance
,
the
one
as
a
Fountain
,
the
other
as
a
Stream
flowing
from
him
,
or
as
the
Beams
from
the
Sun
,
which
are
not
separated
.
(
viz.
That
we
have
no
firm
ground
to
go
upon
,
that
this
Doctrine
was
first
advanced
by
a
Novice

upon
implicite
Faith
in
two

.
That
it
hath
no
foundation
in
Scripture
,
Antiquity
,
or
Councils
;
and
that
the
may
be
numbred
among
the
Popish
and

,
which
we
know
to
be
contradictory
in
the
case
of
the
Trinity
.
That
the
Word
did
alway
exist
with
his
Father
,
but
there
was
a
prolation
,
emission
or
application
of
the
Son
,
the
Father
in
order
to
the
Creation
But
such
as
was
not
made

by
whom
all
things
were
made

not
note
the

of
the
Gospel
;
not
the

only
the
Reparation

In

And
that
Word
was
with
God

was
hid

known

to

known

And
God
was
the

rather
by

the

was
God

Man

so
instructed

that
he
was

all

were
made

him

not

all

such
only
as
concerned
the

these

And
without
him
was
nothing

without
his
Command

his
Conduct

the

was
made
Flesh

subjected

and
for
proof
of
this
Opinion
produced
these
Scriptures
:
He

;
I

;

I

the

he
so
taught

(
viz.
When
the
Game
was
first
set

It
was
no
more
necessary
to
understand
the
Dignity
of
the
Person
(
of
Christ
)
than
for
a
Traveller
to
understand
the
Features
of
the
Sun
.
If
we
regard
the
Dignity
of
the
Person
,
it
is
plainly
more
honourable
to
believe
him
God
the
Creator
,
than
a
Creature
Deified
.
That
part
of
Mankind
which
our

most
favoureth

are
most
unable

pay

such
a

If
we
consider
the
thing
it self
,
it
appears
much
more
credible
that
the
Eternal
Son
of
God
should
descend
to
the
Nature
of

than
that
a

a

it

If

our

be
greater

our

our
hatred

more

all
the

much

Then
it
was
dangerous
lest
we
should
blaspheme

because
we
have
no
firm
ground
to
go
upon
.
Upon
all
accounts
were
the
Scriptures
so
doubtful
as
to
leave
us
to

we
