be perplexed on hearing us called Atheists,
confessing, as we do. God the FATHER,
and GOD the Sox, and God the HOLY
GHOST, discovering their power in their
unity, and their distinction in their order?”
Again: “From Him, and by Him, were
all things made, since the FATHER and the
Sos are one, and since the Sox is in the
FATHER, and the FATHER in the Son, by
the union and power of the SPIRIT, the
Sos of God is the mind and word of God."

of faith amongst the Jews, so to believe in one God, as not to join the Son or HOLY Ghost with Him, for what difference will there be except that between them and us?
