 INTRODUCTION.

My design in publishing this work is to exhibit

once for all an exposure of the Arian or Unitarian
Heresy, and to prove from the Sacred Scripture that
Jevovah of the old Testament, is Jesus of the new,
instead of Jesus being “a Creature inferior to God
the Father ” according to the Unitarian doctrine.
The Unitarians would persuade us that only the
Father of our Saviour Christ, is God, and that
Christ being the Son of God, is not of the same
nature with the Father, and consequently not God,
but a Being inferior to, and entirely dependent on,
the Father;-as if they had either found out the
Almighty to perfection, or have a better knowledge.
of Christ than the innumerable host of Angels,
Saints, and the noble army of Martyrs who are
round about His Throne, and cease not to adore
HIM, Rev. IV. 8, to l l Rev. W. 11, to 13. and
Rev. XI. 16. 17. 18. and sing His Song by the
ascribing Praises for His Omnipotence and Holi
mess &c. “Great and marvellous are thy works
“Lord God Almighty : just and true are thy ways,
“ thou King of Saints. Who shall not fear thee,
“O Lord, and glorify thy name? for thou only art.
A
 [2
“holy : for all nations shall come and worship
“ before thee; for thy judgments are made mani
“ fest,” Rev. XV. 3. 4 but in opposition to their
assertions, the Sacred Scripture afford us invin
cible proofs that Christ our Saviour is the Al
mighty and independent God; for who else can
the Son be but the same God with the Father,
John X. 30. and XIV. 8. to 11, the former
verse sufficiently proves Our Lord Christ and
the Father to be one and the same God,
whilst the latter verses confirm it “Have I been
“so long time with you, saith the Blessed Je
“sus, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he
“ that hath seen me, hath seen the Father, and
“how sayest thou then, shew us the Father?” We
are besides taught from the very same Sacred Book
that our Lord Christ became inferior to God (his
own Godhead) touching his human nature and per
taining to his mediatorial capacity concerning which
he affirms, “All power is given unto me in Heaven
“ and in Earth” and “My Father is greater than
I” these two texts will be acknowledged I dare say
by Unitarians to be accurate and bearing no figu
rative allusion, but with regard to the two preceding
ones cited in favor of our Lord's Divinitv. they will
be called metaphorical expressions by Unitarians ;
in a sense contrary to their plain meaning, such
as the Unity in the 30 verse of St. John's 10
chap. must be understood of Unity of design,
whereas if it merely implied that, the Jews would
not have sought to stone Our Lord as a blasphemer
for “being a Man, sav they, thou makest thyself
“God,” John X. 33. when our Unitarians find such
a refutation of their assertions, in Unity of design
they will have it understood that the word God
spoken by our Lord in this controversy with the

º,
 [ 3 ]
Jews, implied no more than a simple title bestowed
upon Prophets, for our Lord reasoned that if the
Prophets might be called Gods, because the word
of God came unto them, why should he be deemed
guilty of blasphemy for claiming that title when he
had been sanctified by the Father as the greatest
Prophet, but a better knowledge of the Ho
ly Scripture will shew the Unitarian's perversion;
for example, our Lord having in the 17 and 18
verses of this chapter openly declared His Omnipo
tence and thereby his essential Deity, removes the
doubts of the Jews in Solomon's porch by appeal
ing to the Almighty works performed by Him, and in
the 30 verse,by telling them that he is one and the same.
God with the Father, for the words are “I and my
“Father are one,” the Jews enraged at this declara
tion hesitate no longer, but maliciously determine to
stone him. Our Lord then unanswerably refutes them
by asking, “Is it not written in vour Law, I said, ye
“ are Gods? If he called them Gods unto whom the
“ word of God came and the Scripture cannot be
“broken; say ye of him, whom the Father hath sane-,
“tified and sent into the world, thou blasphemest;
“ because I said, I am the Son of God (very God)?
“If I do not the works of my Father, believe me
“not, but if I do, though ye believe not me, be
“lieve the works: that ye may know and believe
“ that the Father is in me, and I in him.” What
does this reasoning prove 2 not that our Lord claim
ed the title upon a level with Prophets, but as the
Almighty God of the Universe, for the whole of the
reasoning a nonnts to this, that if the Prophets by
our Saviour's appearing to them as the Logos,
or Word of God in an Angelic form and
speaking unto them, were entitled to the ap
pellation of “Gods” (when they were but our
 [4 J
Saviour Christ's ereatures and mortal finite beings:)
How could the Jews possibly charge our Lord
as guilty of blasphemy for claiming his own
proper nature and title; since our Lord's human
nature was sanctified by the Divine Nature being
joined to it, and our Lord claims this glorious
Name no otherwise than by performing his Almighty
Works which are sufficient to prove our Lord's Di
vine nature; for while the Prophets and Angels work
thro' Christ residing in them and strengthening them.
Our Saviour acts by his own independent Almighty
Power by which “all things were made.” John I.
3. If this be not the meaning of the whole reason
ing, then surely the Jews could not “thereſore
“ again have sought to take him,” John X. 39.
hence it is apparent that the great Redeemer is
“Lord of the spirits of all Flesh,” Acts VII. 59.
“God over All blessed for evermore,” Rom. IX. 5.
and “ the Lord God Almighty whose judgments are
“true and righteous,” Rev. XVI. 7. Unitarians
have therefore vainly introduced their sophistry in
opposition to the two fundamental Doctrines of
Christianiy, viz. The Self-Existenee and Eternal
Godhead of Christ our Lord; and the atonement by
him in his Incarnate state for the Sins of the whole
World, while their fallacy is proved by simply quot
ing passages from Seripture which contradict their
assertions and declaration, and prove in the strong
est light the Godhead of our Saviour Christ, as well
as the reason why He became Incarnate. They pre
tond to reverence and firmly believe all that is con
tained in the Sacred Seripture, when they so evi
dently disregard and deny its chief doctrines.
The passage in Phil. H. 6. to 8. is in the opi
nion of all unprejudiced men strongly declarative
of the two natures of our Saviour Christ, as
 [5 |
God and man in the form of Servant. The
Incarnation or union of the two natures being
proved, it explains his great humiliation in his Incar
mate state and the sufferings he bore for the Sins of
the whole World. Respecting our Saviour's pre
existence, it is said he was God, John I. I. and
being God the great Jehovah, he became incarnate
by taking upon himself the form of a Servant, John
1. 14 and lst Tim. 3. 16. This he did, for the
salvation of his wretched rebellious Creatures.
The Unitarians will not assent to such Scripture
testimonw but to that which seems most reasona
ble to the carnal mind. How wise then are the
Children of this World in their generation but
this will by no means alarm or discomfort the
Children of God against the blessed and incon
trovertible truths, confirmed to them by the
word and grace of God, and when they see that
Unitarians, Socinians, false Teachers, &c. were
foretold in the Holy Scriptures, and that even in
the times of the Holy Apostles men existed who
“ went out from the faith once delivered unto the
saints” instead of “contending for it earnestly,”
and when they call to mind that from this citeum
stance St. John in his first Epistle II. 19. re
marks: “They went out from us but they were
“not of us; for if they had been of us, they
“wonid no doubt have continued with us: bnt they
“ went out, that they might be made manifest that:
“ they were not all of us”; and having said this he
admonishes all Christians respecting false teachers.
vide same Epistle IV. I. to 3. Numerous passages
may be cited to evince this truth, but two are
necessary only (for if two be not credited others
may not ) which at once demonstrate that he
whem Unitarians deny to be God and reckon
 [6]
only a Creature or inferior to God is indeed
the “only Lord God, and our Lord Jesus Christ”
even the “Lord that bought his Creatures with
“ his own precious Blood,” Jude 4 v. and 2d Pet.
II. I. It does not always appear very singular
that Creatures should deny their Creator for when
God suffereth such men to harden their hearts they
abide in lies and seduce their fellow brethren, and
why P because they seeing saw not, or would not
see, hearing heard not; and when the “ Lord invited
“ they rejected his gracious invitation.” But let
them take heed lest as the Lord, has “called, and
“they refused,” they may be refused in that day
when they will “hide themselves in the dens and in
“ the rocks of the mountains : and say to the moun
“tains and rocks, fall on us, and hide us from the
“face of him that sitteth on thc throne, and from the
“ wrath of the Lamb. For the great day of his
“ wrath is come ; and who shall be able to stand.”
Rev. VI. 15. 16. 17. Yea, that great and notable
day of the Lord, when Jehovah Jesus arrayed in Di
vine Majesty and splendour, and attended with innu
merable “Angels and Saints,” will decend from Hea
ven to judge the World in Righteousness, and re
quire of all his Creatures to render an account of
their deeds ! oh how soon must they appear be
fore Christ's dreadful tribunal, and what will the
Unitarians then have to say to the Universal Judge
from whose presence “the Heavens being on fire
“shall be dissolved, and the elements shall melt with
“fervent heat,” 2d Pet. HI. 12 and whose Omnipo
tence will on that day be ns clearly manifested as
the noon day: Rev. XI. 17. 18, for having denied
His Divinity and the merits of his Death.
In conclusion I cannot refrain from stating the
 - [ 7 )
awful consequences of such disbelief, for thus saith
Christ our Theos our Elohim “ All manner of sin
- “ and blasphemy shall be forgiven, but the sin and
* , “blasphemy against the Holy Ghost shall neither be
forgiven in this world nor the world to come”
Matth. XII. 31. What then is this Sin? but the
denial of our Saviour's Spi, it being the Almighty
Spirit—Ah how dangerously are the unbelievers
and deniers of our Lord’s Divinity situated, there
is no hope of pardon for them, their case is truly
wretched and miserable !“ for if we sin willfully af
“ter we have received the knowledge of the truth,
“ there remaineth no more sacrifice for sins, but a
“ certain fearful looking for of Judgment and fiery
“ indignation which will devour the adversaries.”
Heb. X. 27. 28. May we all therefore beware that
if any be seduced their lot will inevitably be the
same, and may no one harden his Heart against
the truth, for although our Saviour brought out
the Israelites with his Almighty Arm, yet those
who “tempted our Saviour and grieved Him by
* “hardening their Hearts forfeited the privilege of
“ attaining the rest promised the Israelites.” Heb.
III. 8. to 1 1. may we on the contrary “take heed
“lest there be in any of us an evil heart of unbelief
“in departing from Christ the living God. But
“exhort one another daily, while it is called to
“ day; lest any of us be hardened through the de
“ceitfulness of sin : for we are made partakers of
“ Christ, if we hold the begining of our confidence
“stediast unto the end ; Heb. l II. 12. to 14. Yea
“‘mywº-count all things, but loss and dung for the
* excellency of the knowledge of Christ our God
“ and Saviour” and exclaim like St. Paul “God for
“bid that I should glory save in the cross of our
“ Lord Jesus Christ by whom the world is crucified
 [ 8 J
* unto me and I unto the world,” Gal. VI. 14. Hike
wise “earnestly contend for the faith once delivered
* unto the Saints,” Jude 3 v. O how joyfully are
we to wait for the coming of that Holy and Right
eous Theanthropos who at his coming “shall change
“our wile and mortal body that it may be fashioned
“like unto his glorious body, according to the workr
*ing whereby he is able to subdue all things unto
“himself,” Phil. 3.21. to whom with the Father,
and the Holy Spirit be all honor, all glory, and all
worship to all Eternity.
