philosophical, and therefore obscure, forms of language. Altogether, the
history of the dogma of the Trinity teaches that the labour of investiga-
ting it and rightly defining it, has variously exercised the minds of many
persons, and has promoted and preserved a certain application of philosophy
in theological pursuits; but, also, that whatever efforts have been made for
its more subtle exposition, theologians have very frequently been hence led
away from the simplicity of the true Christian life to opinions which more
or less depart from the system received by ecclesiastical authority. Hence
there have at different times arisen very powerful adversaries of this dogma
which may be placed in three classes, 1st. the Monarchists, as they are
properly called, who, in rigidly preserving the Unity of God, reject plural-
ity of every kind; to these belong the (1) Ebionites, (2) Socinians, and many
Unitarians of recent times, in England and North America, who asserting
the unity of God, as most Socinians, variously ascribe to Christ, as the
ambassador of God, virtues superior to what are human : (3) Rationalists, who
following a purer type of Biblical doctrine, simply teach that God the
Father manifested himself through Jesus Christ his Son, and through the
Holy Spirit. 2nd. Tritheists, (holding three Gods,) or Tettratheists (holding
four Gods), who seem to have persuaded themselves that there are three or
four subsistences in God: 3rd. Modalists (Nominalists), who are considered
to have determined that Father, Son, and Spirit are different modes in which
the one God exists or operates. To these are to be referred those who
by others are numbered among Monarchists, as Praxeas, Noetus, Sabellius,
Paul of Samosata, Photinus. From the time of the Lutheran Reformation
a sort of modal Trinity was held by Anabaptists, Quakers, and some
mystic philosophers—as
Campanus, Servetus, Bohme ; also by philosophers
and theologians of more recent times, given to philosophical speculations.
4tli. Subordinationists, with whom may be ranked most of the Ante-Nicene
Fathers, Arians of various kinds, Arminians, and not a few theologians of
the present age, who admit a subordination not of nature, as the Arians,
but of authority, although they make pretension to orthodoxy.’
