A brief declaration and vindication of the doctrine of the Trinity as also of…

I have instanced directly in this only testimony to give the Reader a pledge of the full confirmation which may be given unto this great fundamental truth, by a due improvement of those other Testimonies, or distinct Revelations which speak no less expressly to the same purpose. And of them there is not any one, but we are ready to vindicate it, if called thereunto, from the exceptions of these men; which how bold and Sophistical they ⟨p. 84⟩are, we may in these now considered, also learn and know.

It appeareth then that there is a full sufficient Revelation made in the Scripture of the Eternal Deity of the Son of God; and that he is so, as is the Father also. More particular testimonies I shall not at present insist upon, referring the full discussion and vindication of these truths, to another season.

We are therefore in the next place to manifest that the same, or the like testimony, is given unto the Deity of the Holy Spirit; that is, that he is revealed and declared in the Scripture, as the Object of our Faith, Worship, and Obedience on the account, and for the Reason of those divine Excellencies which are the sole Reason of our yielding religious worship unto any, or expecting from any the Reward that is promised unto us, or to be brought by them to the end for which we are. And herein, lies as was showed, the concernment of faith.
