CHAP. VI. An answer to part of the 10, the 12, 13, 14, and 15 pages of W. P's Pamphlet, which he intituleth the Trinity of distinct separate persons in the Unity of essence, refuted from Scripture, right reason, with information and caution in the close.

The word separate person, I disown any further than we may conceive it to signify no more than distinct, (and so W. P. was told again and again in the meeting,) I need speak no more of that, since his endeavours are to refute the distinction not the separation of persons in the glorious and ever blessed Trinity. And his first attempt is to refute this Doctrine by Scripture. The Scriptures which he allegeth to overthrow the Doctrine of the Trinity of persons, are such as prove the unity of the essence, that there is but one God, which we do not in the least deny, but have and do assert with as firm belief as he or any in the world can do; but though the Godhead, or Divine essence be but one, this is not inconsistent with the plurality and distinction of the three persons in the same Godhead.
