Religion and reason adjusted and accorded, or, A discourse wherein divine revelation is made appear to be a congruous and connatural way of affording proper means for making man eternally happy through the perfecting of his rational nature with an appendix of objections from divers as well as philosophers as divines and their respective answers.

Answer.

Since the Reason, why the Mahometans and Jews, and other Antitrinitarians, as have any real love and value for Truth, dis∣believe the Trinity, seems chiefly to be this, that they are fully perswaded there can be no part of Divine Revelation which is certainly opposite to right Reason, and yet cannot ap∣prehend but that the Doctrine of a Trinity of Persons in Ʋnity of Essence is contradicto∣ry; in probability an Essay of this kind should rather do good than harm to men of such Perswasions, if so be it afford any the minutest true, though never so glimmering, Light of the but possibility of the Truth of the Doctrin of the Holy Trinity, to human

Reason; because the Revelation of the Di∣vine Persons in Scripture would be apt to find a more easie reception in their Minds thereby, than if they still remain'd strongly possessed with an Opinion, that the Doctrin of a Trinity of Persons in Ʋnity of Essence was impossible to be true, through the sense and perswasion they had of its absolute Con∣tradiction to Reason, being rationally pre∣possessed that one Truth cannot be really op∣posite to another.
