Quote: Stephen Nye on disliking the clear as such (Dale)

Please - it is more comfortable if I leave these on.
Please - it is more comfortable if I leave this on.

…I will not deny clear things concerning the Trinity, as some do, only because they are clear. I don’t think we may argue after this manner; “The Doctrine of the Trinity is a Mystery; your Account of it is no Mystery, therefore it is not the true Doctrine of the Trinity”: For it will be still mysterious enough to us, tho we do not reject what is clear, or certain, about it.
