Scriptures , though he censures the Unitarians for altering it . As he would alter the English Bible , to make it express the polytheistical notion of Gods ; can it be wrong to say that he believes in a plurality of Gods ? He would have
Jehovah to include Gods . To his substituting Gods for Gody I must object as totally unauthorized , an unwarrantable alteration of the sense as well as the language of the Bible , and as subversive
of what the Scriptures most clearly teach , that there is but one God , and that God is one , and because it would be directly calculated to lead the people into polytheism and idolatry . " - —Pp . 20 , 21 .
One more extract from Mr . Wright ' s judicious pamphlet will explain the result of this controversy , which , miserably as it has been conducted on the part of his antagonist , will not be without its benefits ;
" I called upon the Trinitarian to express his doctrine in the words of Scripture , as I had done the Unitarian doctrine . This Mr . K . has not attempted : he admits that it cannot be done , and even ridicules me for requiring such a
thing ; but is it unreasonable , that those who identify their notions with the Scriptures , make them essential to salvation , and condemn as the enemies of Christ and the gospel , those who reject their dogmas , should be required to express them in the words of Scripture ? Mn

K . admits , that the terms used to express , the Trinitarian doctrine , are not to be found in the Bible , that they were never in the Bible , ( see p . 26 , ) that the doctrine is to be made out by inference , ( p . 20 , ) and in this way he attempts to support it . Trinitarians have a right to
adopt what terms they please to express ttieir thoughts ; but what right have they to make their thoughts , expressed ju their own language , and not in the words of Scripture * essential articles of Christian faith , and to censure and condemn those who will not receive them as such ?
They have a right to make such inferences from the language of Scripture as seem to them proper ; but they have no right to treat as fools and knaves those who think their inferences unfounded , and cannot receive them as doctrines of the gospel ; but Who admit as essential articles of fatth , and as Christian doctrines ,
what can be fully expressed in the words of Jesus Christ and his apostles * Enough has come out ill the present controversy to establish one important point : viz . That the Unitarian doctrine is fully revealed in plain and positive terms in the Holy Scriptures , and can be fully expressed in the words of Scripture , without either addition or comment : and
that the Trinitarian doctrine is not fully revealed in plain and positive terms in Scripture , and cannot be expressed in the words of Scripture , but is made out and supported by inference . "—Pp . 24 , 25 *
