and Apostles, from the beginning of the world, as well as above the express declarations of Christ himself. If words of human invention, which Scripture does not contain, could have made the truth more clear than it is in Scripture, we should not have had the Christian world divided, as it has been, with an incalculable number of distinctions and designations; which, it may perhaps confidently be said, have never yet contributed to practical piety. For, disputing about words, and differing about nominal distinctions, they lose the substance; and thus the Divine life is wounded in all who make their religion to consist in vain disputations, which go beyond the written letter, about things that are placed as far above human research, as the heavens are above the earth. And it is highly probable that the adoption of one distinguishing epithet or denomination, has driven many speculative men, who could not see the thing so distinctly as a supposed orthodoxy founded upon arbitrary terms would require of them, to enrol themselves with the very opposite denomination. In The Table simply consists of three columns. the first column are collected from Scripture certain acts predicated of God: in the second and third, horizontally with the first, the same or parallel acts predicated of Christ and of the Holy Spirit. Where there is an omission in the first column, a coincidence may be seen in the second and third. 536 For an account of the objects of this Table, consult pages 533–535.
