Ib. p. 354.
Let me desire you not to give so great a loose to your fancy in divine
things: you seem to consider every thing under the notion of extension
and sensible images.
Very true. The whole delusion of the Anti-Trinitarians arises out of
this, that they apply the property of imaginable matter--in which A. is,
that is, can only be imagined, by exclusion of B. as the universal
predicate of all substantial being.
Ib. p. 357.
And our English Unitarians * * have been still refining upon the
Socinian scheme, * * and have brought it still nearer to Sabellianism.
The Sabellian and the Unitarian seem to differ only in this;--that what
the Sabellian calls union with, the Unitarian calls full inspiration by,
the Divinity.
Ib. p. 359.
It is obvious, at first sight, that the true Arian or Semi-Arian
scheme (which you would be thought to come up to at least) can never
tolerably support itself without taking in the Catholic principle of a
human soul to join with the Word.
Here comes one of the consequences of the Cartesian Dualism: as if
[Greek: sarx], the living body, could be or exist without a soul, or a
human living body without a human soul! [Greek: Sarx] is not Greek for
carrion, nor [Greek: soma] for carcase.
Query XXIV. p. 371.
Necessary existence is an essential character, and belongs equally to
Father and Son.
Subsistent in themselves are Father, Son and Spirit: the Father only has
origin in himself.
