THE Letter to the Clergy of both Universities, came not to my Sight, or Notice, till some hours after the last Sheet of this Discourse was brought me from the Press; I have not time therefore to say much to it, nor yet should say more than I do had I never so much. The Author seems to think what he was now doing, as to the Enquiry, superfluous, because he said it was so fully done by an abler Hand, &c. In the mean time he was •n ill case, that he was neither able to write to any purpose, nor be silent: A most deplorable double Impotency? But he hath notwithstanding his Modesty, shown a double Ability, to invent and make an Hypothesis of his own Fingers Ends, and then most dexterously to combat that Shadow. Three inadequate Gods, is indeed (to use his own Phrase) his own Invention, constantly disavowed by the Enquirer, who, with the generality of Trinitarians, calls the three Subsistents in the Godhead, God; being each of them necessarily existent, but none of them alone exclusively, a God.
