The Occasion and Design of this Discourse. To the Reverend Dr. SA MUEL CLARK E. DEAR SIR, HEN I receiv'd those Copies of the several Pieces you have publifh'd concerning the Trinity, which you were pleas'd to send me; as I could not but efteem them fresh Instances of your good Affections towards me of which I have had much happy Experience in a Course of many Years Acquaintance ) so I am persuaded, B You VV W You were far from expecting my Approbation of them. On the contrary, as it became a Person that loves you sincerely, I fignified to you, by Letter and otherwise, my dislike of your Notions; and you condescended to bear my usual Plainess with that Patience, Çandor, and Sweetness of Temper, which you constantly discover in your whole Conduct. You have well (a) observ'd, that the Doctrin of the Trinity is of the greatest importance in Religion ; a matter not to be treated of lightly and carelessly, as it were by Accident only, after the manner of superficial Controverjies about Words, or of particular Occasional Questions con, cerning the meaning of single ambiguous Texts; but which bugbr, when discoursed upon at all, to be examin'd thoroughly on all sides, by a serious ftudy of the whole Scripture, and by taking care that the Explication be consistent with it self in every part. You (b) profess that you have, according to the Weight and Dignity of the Subje&t, considered it throughout, as carefully and distinętly as you were able ; and desire only, that ibe Reader, when he begins the Book, would peruse it all, and consider seriously every Part, and compare the whole of what is here said, with other whole Schemes, before he passes bis Judgment upon it. For my own part, I solemnly make the fame Profeffion with your self; and what you desire of the Reader, I have conscientiously perform’d : and yet I must assure you, that after all the Pains I have bestow'd in considering this nice Subject (both at former Times, and since your several Books have been publishd) I am-as throughly convinc'd, that you are in the Wrong, as you your self can be that you are in the Right.
