PAUL, IN DEFENCE OF THE DIVINITY OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST; UPON THE ENCOURAGEMENT GIVEN BV THE LADY MOYER, AND AT THE APPOINTMENT OF THE LORD BISHOP OF LONDON. WITH A PREFACE, Containing Remarks upon two late Pamphlets: one entitled, Modest Plea &c. Continued &c. the other, Unity of God not inconsistent with the Divinity of Christ, &c. Vol. it. TO THE RIGHT REVEREND FATHER IN GOD, JOHN, LORD BISHOP OF LONDON, AND ONE OF THE LORDS OF HI8 MAJESTY''S MOST HONOURABLE PRIVY COUNCIL. My Lord, The following Sermons, drawn up and preached under your Lordship''s influence, in defence of that ancient faith which you have so seasonably and signally supported, have a natural claim and title to your Lordship''s patronage. Their design is to shew, that we follow not mere human decisions, or words of men, as hath been slanderously reported, but the infallible word of God; to which we appeal from the sentence and determination of any fallible men whatsoever. Nevertheless, it is great satisfaction to us to observe, that the Scripture evidences of our doctrine have, in all ages of the Church, appeared so full and clear, that the generality of wise and good men could not fail of coming into them. We think it no discredit, but a great advantage to our doctrine, that it is ancient and Catholic. If this be all that some mean, by objecting to us human decisions, we do not only acknowledge it, but glory in it. It has been the method of the wisest and best men, since the date of Christianity, to prefer express Scripture, or certain consequences from Scripture, before merely human and philosophical conjectures.
