Book excerpt: Excerpt from Theology, Vol. 2 of 4: Explained and Defended, in a Series of Sermons Amon the various denominations of men, denoted in the text I) the wise, whose reasonings are vain, are included, so far as I can discern, the Arians and Socinians or, as both sometimes choose to term themselves, Unitarians. I feel myself obli ed to warn my audience, that this name however, contains in itsel an error; and appears to have been formed with a design to deceive. It was professedly assumed for the purpose of challenging to those, who assumed it, the exclusive character, among Christians, of believi in the Unity of God; and of denying particularl that Trinitari ans entertain this belief: whereas Trmztari'ans believe in the Unity of God as entirely, and absolutely, as their opposers. That every Trinitarian asserts this of himself, every Unitarian, ossessing a very moderate share of information, knows; and he iinows also, that the char e of admitting more Gods than one cannot be fasten ed u n the Trinitarian; exce t by consequences, professedly de riv from his doctrine, whic he utterly disclaims. To prove, that such consequences do indeed follow from it, is, if it can be done, altogether fair, and unob'ectionable; but to charge him with admitting them, while he utteriy disclaims them, is unworthy of a dis utant, assuming the character of a Christian. For the assertion, which I have made above, concerning the Uni tarians, generally, I am bound to give my reasons. This I intend to do Without disguise, or softening; but at the same time with moderation and candour. My observations I shall distribute un der two heads: Answers to the Ob ections of the Unitarians against the doctrine of the Trinit and bjections to the Doctrine of Uni tarians, and to their Conditct in managing the controversy. It will not be supposed, that under either of these heads very numerous, or very minute, articles can find a (place in such a system of dis courses. All, that can be attem te is to exhibit a summary view of such particulars, as are plain y'of serious importance.
