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

Jesus said unto them, verily I say unto you, before Abraham was I am: then took they up stones to cast at him. So also, John 10. 30, 31, 32, 33. I and my Father are one: then the Jews took up stones again to stone ⟨p. 14⟩him; Jesus answered them, many good works have I showed you from my Father, for which of those works do you stone me? The Jews answered him saying, for a good work we stone thee not, but for blasphemy, and because that thou being a Man makest thy self God. They understood well enough the meaning of those words, I and my Father are one; namely, that they were a plain Assertion of his being God. This caused their rage. And this the Jews all abide by to this day; namely, that he declared himself to be God, and therefore they slew him. Whereas therefore the first discovery of a plurality of Persons in the Divine Essence consists in the Revelation of the Divine Nature and personality of the Son, this being opposed, persecuted, and blasphemed by these Jews, they may be justly looked upon and esteemed as the first Assertors of that misbelief, which now some seek again so earnestly to promote. The Jews persecuted the ⟨p. 15⟩Lord Christ, because he being a Man, declared himself also to be God; and others are ready to revile and reproach them, who believe and teach what he declared.
