7. 21. It has been a disagreeable task to examine these objections; believers are not fond of arguing; but it is important to shew that the arguments are not all on the side of heresy. To rely upon logic, however, is the abandonment of faith, the evacuation of the Gospel, and its betrayal. God bring the opponents to a better mind, and grant us a saving hold upon the Trinity.
