to be the ' speaker . Surely the cause of trinitarianism must be desperate When its defenders rely for its support on idioms in the Jews' language which the Jews never understood in any such light , and which occur in books
professedly written to guard the unity of God from infringement . The innumerable passages of scripture which this writer says speak of Christ as Creator will be found , on the most careful examination , reduced to four , and they have been often shown by good writers to refer not to the literal but to a ^
figurative creation . He should have shown what he meant by the unity of essence before he coiv eluded from it that the work of three beings is the work of but one : indeed the great thing he has to prove is that what is numerically three is nt the same time numerically one . 14 u Under his thirteenth head he avoids answering a direct question by a quibble about the time of applying the terms Father and Son to two of the supposed percons in the trinity .
