To me, (why do I say to me?) to Bull, to Waterland, to Gregory Nazianzen, Basil, Athanasius, Augustine, the terms, Word and generation, have appeared admirably, yea, most awfully pregnant and appropriate;but still as the language of those who know that they are placed with their backs to substancesand which therefore they can name only from the correspondent shadowsyet not (God forbid!)

" The answer to this must commence by a denial of the premisses 'in toto': and this both Bull and Waterland have done most successfully.

This indeed seems to me decisive in favour of Waterland's scheme against this of Sherlock's;namely, that in the latter we find no sufficient reason why in the nature of things this intermutual consciousness might not be possessed by thirty instead of three.

I do not wonder that Waterland and the other followers of Bull were alarmed.

This would not apply to Bishop Bull or Waterland.

It would be no easy matter to find a tolerably competent individual who more venerates the writings of Waterland than I do, and long have done.

And why, then, did not Dr. Waterland,why did not his great predecessor in this glorious controversy, Bishop Bull,contend for a revisal of our established version of the Bible, but especially of the New Testament?

But it was impossible; and Arianism was extinguished by Waterland, but in order to the increase of Socinianism; and this, I doubt not, Waterland foresaw.

Here I differ 'toto orbe' from Waterland, and say with Luther and Zinzendorf, that before the Baptism of John the 'Logos' alone had been distinctly revealed, and that first in Christ he declared himself a Son, namely, the co-eternal only-begotten Son, and thus revealed the Father.

Indeed the want of the Idea of the 1=3 could alone have prevented Waterland from inferring this from his own query II.

The passage admits of a somewhat different interpretation from this of Waterland's, and of equal, if not greater, force against the Arian notion: namely, taking [Greek: tòn óntôs ónta] distinctively from [Greek:

At all events, it was a very incautious expression on the part of Justin, though his meaning was, doubtless, that which Waterland gives.

* NOTES ON WATERLAND'S IMPORTANCE OF THE DOCTRINE OF THE HOLY TRINITY.

Whitby went too far; Waterland not far enough.

As to the meaning of [Greek: autokatákritos], Waterland surely makes too much of a very plain matter.

And possibly hereupon his errors, before invincible through ignorance, may be removed by wholesome instruction and admonition, and so he is befriended in it, &c. Waterland is quite in the right

How must the philosopher have been eclipsed by the shadow of antiquarian erudition, in order that a mind like Waterland's could have sacrificed the profound universal import of 'comprehend' to an allusion to a worthless dream of heretical nonsense, the mushroom of the day!

Had Waterland ever thought of the relation of his own understanding to his reason?

Waterland himself did but dimly see the awful import of [Greek: egéneto sàrx],the mystery of the alien groundand the truth, that as the ground such must be the life.

rather I dare not withhold my avowalthat both Bull and Waterland are here hunting on the trail of an old blunder or figment, concocted by the gross ignorance of the Gentile Christians and their Fathers in all that respected Hebrew literature and the Palestine Christians.

Waterland has not mastered the full force of [Greek: hàe katà phúsin zôáe].

p. 41-2, &c. I cannot but think that Waterland's defence of the Fathers in these pages against Barbeyrac, is below his great powers and characteristic vigour of judgment.

The author, in the general preface, says, that Sermon II. was not "suffer'd to see the light before it had pass'd through the hands of Dr. Waterland."

'Twas thus, in short, these two went on, With yea and nay, and pro and con, Thro' many points divinely dark, And Waterland assaulting Clarke; 'Till, in theology half lost, Damon took up the Evening-Post; Confounded Spain, compos'd the North, And deep in politics held forth.
