THE FOLLOWING TRACT,

Printed in Exeter for local distribution, and now reprinted, with the belief that it has been, and the hope that it will be, made useful in promoting the reception of the faith once delivered to the saints,"

[blocks in formation]

N. B. It is the intention of the Author, to prepare, as soon as other pressing engagements will permit, a similar View of the Scriptural Evidence for and against the Anti-Unitarian Principle, that the Death of Christ made a change in the Divine Dealings or Disposition towards Mankind,-disposing or enabling God, even the Father, to be merciful to the repentant Sinner, and procuring for men Pardon from God.-This Part, however, of the COMPARATIVE VIEW, is complete in itself, on the subject of the Unity, Supremacy, and Exclusive Worship of Jehovah, The Second Part will be on his Essential Unpurchased Mercy.

He

THE Unitarian believes in the absolute Unity and Unrivalled Supremacy of Jehovah, the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ; and that He is the Only Proper Object of Religious Worship. He believes that there is One God, the Father;' that the Father is the Only True God;' that Jehovah, our God, Jehovah is One;' and that we are required by the Law and by the Gospel, to make Him the Supreme Object of Love, and to pay Religious Worship to Him alone.

The Scriptural Evidence for Unitarianism, consists of numerous plain and express declarations of Scripture, incapable of any other meaning, and incontrovertibly true; and also of innumerable expressions, clearly and directly implying, the great principles of the Absolute Unity, Unrivalled Supremacy, and Exclusive Worship of God, even the Father.

THE Trinitarian believes that God is not One Person, One Intelligent Agent; but that the One God consists of Three Persons, Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, "of one substance, power, and eternity:" That the Son is "the very and eternal God," "very God and very Man :" That "the Father is God, the Son is God, and the Holy Ghost is God; and yet they are not Three Gods, but One God :" And that the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Ghost, are, SEPARATELY, and conjointly, the Proper Objects of Religious Worship.

The Scriptural Evidence for Trinitarianism, consists of certain passages which appear to oppose the Unitarian Doctrine, by implying a plurality of Persons, each equally and truly God, and by ascribing to Jesus Christ, the Son of God, Titles, Attributes, and Prerogatives, which are supposed to prove him truly God, in the same sense in which the Father is God.
