P . 196 . Having become unreasonable , we cannot wonder at these good men becoming Uncharitable : a modern orthodox believer might content himself
with the following anathema ^ which , though softened down in the edition from which Dr . T . Rees has made Ms translation , means nothing if it does not assert that the worshipers of God the iFather only , are not Christians :
" What think you of those persons who believe that Christ is not to be invoked or adored ? " Since they alone are Christians who acknowledge Jesus to be the Christ , or the heavenly king of the people of God , and who , moreover , worship him on a
religious ground , and do not liesitate to invoke his name ; on which account , we have already seen that Christians are designated as those who called on the name of the Lord Jesus Christ , —it is easily perceived that they Who are disinclined to do this , are so far not
Christians ; although in other respects they confess the name of Christ , and declare that they adhere to his doctrine . *'~ Pp . 1 % , 1 S 7 . But though the original Socinians denied the very name of Christians to such as held the opinions of tfcte
modern Unitarians , it is ptill contended , with a grave face , by some divines , that < the 3 e latter are correctly au 4 jafe t ly called by the name of the former . The parties accuse each othser bf iiloiatry on the one side , and of infidelity on the other ; thfey % tful » hdt ^ drSKlp in the
