fufe; for he can as foon cease to be God, as ceafe to be merciful.

And as to the trinitarians, nothing is more plain, than that they feed upon afhes; a deceived heart hath turned them aside, because they will not make ufe of thofe rational faculties which God hath given them; nor fay, Is there not a lye in my righthand? otherwife they would never flatter the humble Jefus, nor make the most high God to be a plurality of persons.

For as to the holy ghost (their third God) it is evidently no diftinct perfon from God, any more than a man's fpirit is a distinct person from the man; fo that the fpirit of God is God's fpirit, as is manifeft from scripture and reason, Gen. vi. 3. My Spirit fhall not always frive with man: And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters: And God faid, Let there be light, and there was light. And God faid, Let there be a firmament in the midft of the waters. And God made all things by the word of his power. So that the word of God, and the fpirit of God, are not diftinct perfons from God, but the power of God, and the energy of God. So the word of a man, and the fpirit of a man, are not diftinct perfons from the man, but the man himfelf; if his word be falfe, or his fpirit be wicked, the man is falfe and wicked.

The fame degree of ftupidity that leads trinitarians to call the word of God, and the fpirit of

God,

God, diftinct perfons, would lead them to call the wisdom of God, the goodness of God, the love of God, the peace of God, the power of God, and the mercy of God, diftin& perfons; and make God to be a trinity of trinities; for it is certain, God is exprefsly called by all those names.

But whofoever goes about to father this abfurd and horrid doctrine of the trinity upon Jesus Christ, does egregiously abuse him; who told us plainly, bis Father was greater than he; and that he could do nothing of himself, which is a demonstration that he is not God: For we are fure God is omnipotent, and can do all things of himself; being self-existent and independent, the fupreme creator of the universe; and in this it is, that the unitarians triumph as unanswerable, believing in Jefus Chrift, who told us his Father was the only true God, John xvii. 3.

P. S. By these laft words of Christ, I myself was convinced many years ago.
