The Doctrine of the Holy Trinity Explained and Vindicated.
The Doctrine of the blessed Trinity may be considered two ways. First, In respect unto the Revelation and proposal of it in the Scripture, to direct us unto the Author, Object, and End of our Faith, in our worship and obedience. Secondly, As it is farther declared and explained, in terms, expressions, and propositions, educed from the Original Revelation of it, suited thereunto, and meet to direct and keep the mind ⟨p. 26⟩from undue apprehensions of the things it believes; and to declare them unto farther edification.

In the first way, it consists merely in the propositions wherein the Revelation of God is expressed in the Scripture; And in this regard two things are required of us. First, To understand the terms of the propositions, as they are Enunciations of Truth; And Secondly, To believe the things taught, revealed, and declared in them.
