A23823Because He voluntarily condescends below the Dignity of his Nature; does He forfeit the Dignity of his Nature?
A23823Besides, how can it be said here, that the Supream God made himself of no Reputation?
A23823But I ask, is not the Son equal to the Father, both in Energy and Authority?
A23823But I pray, what is the meaning of this?
A23823But do not Singular Pronouns denote Singular Persons, in all Languages?

A23823But how has he perverted the first Verse of St. John''s Revelations?
A23823But if so; How can the Son be that one God, the Father?
A23823But is not the Sense which the Author would put upon this place, both absurd and inconsistent?

A23823But of whom can the true God receive, either Knowledg, or Authority to dispense it?
A23823But saith the Author, A modest Man would first inquire whether it be in Scripture or not?
A23823But suppose those early Sacrifices were an Institution, does it follow from thence, that they were instituted to be Types of the Sacrifice of Christ?
A23823But was not the Son also with the Holy Ghost, and is not he too( according to Trinitarians) God, or a God?
A23823But what Principle of natural Reason does it contradict?
A23823But what is the meaning of all this?
A23823But what then?
A23823But what then?
A23823But what then?
A23823But where in Scripture, says he, is the Word called God the the Son?
A23823But where is the Holy Ghost called God in Scripture?
A23823But why not?
A23823But why should the Temple be a Figure of Christ''s Body, rather than the Ark?
A23823But why so?
A23823But why, I pray, does it not prove that, he is not one God with the Father?
A23823But, How( saith the Historian) can in the Beginning, be from all Eternity?
A23823But, I say, how can God be called the Head of Christ, in such a Sense?
A23823But, what if all the Power Christ is invested with, is as Head of the Church?
A23823Can all this be ascribed to the Supream God?
A23823Can any Man know any thing but by his inherent Personal Knowledg?
A23823Can he that invokes, and he that is invoked, be one and the same Being?
A23823Can sending another, and giving one''s self, be one and the same Act?
A23823Could any thing be said more absurd and ridiculous?
A23823Does Reason tell us, that Three Divine Persons can not be one God?
A23823Does he mean, that he has found somewhere in Scripture in plain and express Words, that there are Three Persons in one Divine Nature or Godhead?
A23823Does it follow from thence, that the Socinian Doctrine ridicules the Christian Religion?
A23823Does not the Scripture mention Moses his Intercession with God; and that God was moved by his Intreaty?
A23823Does the Apostle make a distinction between his two Natures?
A23823Does the Holy Scripture plainly say; that there is but one God, yet there are Three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit in the Godhead?
A23823For if he intercedes with God, can he be that very God with whom he intercedes?
A23823For the Spirit of God must be in God, as the Spirit of a Man is in a Man?
A23823Furthermore, how can we forbear conceiving Two Gods, according to this Hypothesis?
A23823Has the Doctor found any where in Scripture, that the Son is a Personal Subsisting, but Reflex Image of his Father''s Wisdom?
A23823He therefore that ministreth to you the Spirit, and worketh Miracles among you; doth he it by the Works of the Law, or by the hearing of Faith?
A23823How did he become Poor, says he, who was never Rich?
A23823How does he prove it?
A23823How is he only said, to love the World; for the Son and Holy Ghost love it as well as the Father?
A23823How so?
A23823How so?
A23823How so?
A23823How then can he be said to be sent by his Father, to receive his Commands, and to seek his Glory?
A23823I answer; Where have you found in Scripture, that Christ is God as well as Man?
A23823I appeal to the Reader, whether this be not a mear denial of the Difficulty, not an Explication or a Solution of it?
A23823I come in the second place to examine; Whether the Trinity be well grounded in Scripture?
A23823I hope it may be said of a Man inlightned by Revelation, that he knows, as well as of any other?
A23823If Christ made this Revelation, because he is God, how is it said to be given to him, which can in no sense agree to him who is true God?
A23823If by God be meant the Father only; How comes the Father to ingross here the Title of God, to the Exclusion of the Son and the Holy Ghost?
A23823If this Inspiration be without God, in the Creatures who are inspired by him; how is it the Spirit of God?
A23823If you ask him, why?
A23823If you ask them, how they can avoid admitting a Plurality of Gods?
A23823In a Word, being the Author of this New Evangelical Creation, ca n''t He also be the First- born of every New Evangelical Creature?
A23823In a word( as the Historian speaks) How comes the Father to ingross here the Title of God, to the exclusion of the Holy Ghost?
A23823Indeed Three are there mentioned; the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: but how came Men to fancy, that they Three are but One God?
A23823Indeed, how could we?
A23823Is Christ''s Resurrection no Proof, or but a weak one, of his being sent by God, and the truth of his Message?
A23823Is an Ironical Answer sufficient, to confute a good and a strong Argument?
A23823Is it all one, to worship Christ by God''s Appointment, and to worship False Gods and( Apocryphal) Saints, without any Warrant from God?
A23823Is it not a plain Contradiction to the Apostle?
A23823Is it not absurd and senseless to say, That the Father signifies also the Son and Holy Ghost, in those very Texts where he is distinguished from them?
A23823Is it possible, Men should put such a trifling sense on the words of an Apostle?
A23823Is not he, to whom Christ here directs his Prayer, called God?
A23823Is not this Explication clear, and agreeable to the Scope of the Sacred Writer?
A23823Is not this an admirable Argument, which consists only in an Interrogation, and in a meer denial of the difficulty proposed in the Objection?
A23823Is this a direct Confutation?
A23823Lastly, If our Lord Christ were himself God, how could any command him?
A23823Must we account as nothing, the Purity of the Gospel, and its swift Propagation thrô the whole World?
A23823My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?
A23823Now if it be so; how can the Father be said to be greater than the Son, who is as great as himself?
A23823Now what does the Author mean by the plain and express Authority of Revelation?
A23823Now what is a Contradiction, if this be not, to say that Christ created them, and that the Father set him far above them?
A23823Now where is the Fallacy, but in the Author''s Answer?
A23823Now who should not scruple an Opinion, perfectly parallel with Transubstantiation; and equally fruitful in Incongruities and Contradictions?
A23823Or does our Saviour say, that he calls his Body a Temple, because it was the Anti- type of the Temple of the Jews?
A23823Or was it impossible that the Trinity should creep into the Church, as well as several other false Opinions?
A23823Or were those Reformers so infallible, that they purged the Church from all Errors?
A23823Or why do we seek to make him greater than he ever said he was?
A23823Our Author adds, He might as well have asked, why the Sanctification of the Church is ascribed to the Spirit?
A23823Reason tells us, that Three Gods can not be One God; but does Reason tell us, that Three Divine Persons can not be One God?
A23823Shall we not call Humility what St. Paul calls so?
A23823Shall we trust Men, barely on their Word?
A23823This is a very hard Language; for who can fancy, that the Son of God should be God himself; and that before, should signify Eternity?
A23823To this our Author replies; But why does he confine this bowing the Knee to the last Judgment?
A23823Vnto what then were ye baptized?
A23823Was Adam by nature God?
A23823Was the Reformation so proper to Luther and Calvin,& c. that it ought no more to be thought of?
A23823Was the Temple at Jerusalem a Figure or Type of the Bodies of the Corinthians?
A23823Was the Word, i. e. was God the Son?
A23823Well then, if the Trinity implies no less Contradiction than Transubstantiation; why ca n''t we say, that it can not be contained in Scripture?
A23823What Man knoweth the things of a Man, save the Spirit of a Man which is in him?
A23823What Principle of natural Reason does it contradict?
A23823What Things?
A23823What follows from thence?
A23823What hope is there of convincing those, with whom the Father only shall not signify the Father only?
A23823What is more plain than that, the Power of the Highest in these Texts is the explication of the Holy Ghost?
A23823What then?
A23823What then?
A23823What then?
A23823What?
A23823What?
A23823What?
A23823When the Father is called, the one God, and the only true God; in opposition to all false Gods: is he not so called in opposition to the Son also?
A23823Where has he found, that those early Sacrifices were Typical of the Sacrifice of Christ?
A23823Where now is that unchangeable Tradition, so much cried up?
A23823Whereupon our Author says, The single Question is, Whether Christ be that God of whom the Psalmist says, that He ascended on High?
A23823Who denies that those Words, He knew what was in Man, signify inherent Personal Knowledg?
A23823Who taught''em so?
A23823Whom, what Person or God, does this Trinity beseech?
A23823Why does he not speak the Language of Scripture?
A23823Why innocent Beasts must die, to expiate the Sins of Men?
A23823Why not rather, in his own Mediatory Kingdom, does his own Will, seeks his own Glory?
A23823Why not?
A23823Why should God he propitiated by a Man, subject to the same Sins and Infirmities, and very often guilty of them, that other Men are?
A23823Why should Men call us Hereticks and Libertines, because we inquire after Truth; and will have our Faith built upon a solid Foundation?
A23823Why then does this Author affirm; that to intercede with the Authority of a Mediator, is above the Nature and Order of Creatures?
A23823Will it not follow, that all the Power He is invested with, is as a Man, not as God?
A23823and all good Christians are they not also Sons of God, in the Language of Scripture?
A23823and is he not distinguished from the Son, who is called the Messenger?
A23823and that He is the First- born of every Creature, and has created all Things, as He is God?
A23823but then they must not part with three Persons of the Trinity: Therefore, what are those three Persons?
A23823does he say, we have Redemption thrô his Blood, as He is a Man?
A23823has our Author forgot, or is he to learn, that Moses, thô a meer Creature, was a Mediator between God and his People?
A23823how long shall it be, that Men will love Darkness rather than Light; and prefer a Novel and Unintelligible Gospel, before the old, plain and easy One?
A23823how the Spirit of God differs from his Gifts and Graces?
A23823if Christ be as Great, and have as great Power and Authority as God has, how can God be called his God?
A23823if he is, what need is there for him to intercede?
A23823the asserting of Christ''s Divinity?
A23823when the Apostle says, that Christ took upon him the Form of a Servant; must we say, that he did not?
A23823why has he concealed a matter of so great importance to be known?
A23823why must Father here signify, not the Father; but one Godhead, of which the Father is the Source?
A23823why then should he not signify here Personally, God the Father, as well as in other places?
A23823— The Temple then was a Figure, and we must inquire, what it was the Figure of?
