W. P's. reasonings against the ever Blessed and Glorious Trinity falling to the ground, let us look into his Information and caution which he subjoins, whether any thing of truth and cogency be there to be found. There he pretends to inform the Reader concerning the original of this doctrine, and first he would have the Reader assure himself, that it is neither from Scripture nor reason. But I suppose most Readers will be more wise and cautious than to build their assurance upon the bold assertions, and crude reasonings of this presumptuous and Heaven-daring disputant. That this doctrine is not from reason, will be easily granted, yea that it is contrary to corrupt reason, such as W. P. hath plainly declared it self to be; it is a mystery which flesh and blood cannot reveal, but the Father which is in Heaven; yet so as it is not contrary to right and truly sanctified reason. And whereas W. P. asserteth that it is not from Scripture, he must not think to impose this upon Christians who have looked into the Word, any more than what he further asserts as to the first three hundred years, upon those that have looked into the writings of the ancient Fathers. The Doctrine of the Trinity is as old as the Scriptures themselves, and hath been proved out of the first Chapter of Genesis and other places of the Old Testament, by Mr. M. Chap. 4th. and abundantly out of the New Testament Chap. 5. The Readers that search and believe the Scriptures, will never believe W. Penn.
