NOTE VI.

A view of the plurality of persons in the eternal Godhead, from the Hebrew Bible. Gods, thirty-two times in the book of Genesis-five hundred times in the five books of Moses. Why does Moses use the plural, when there is a singular noun? Instances of this are given in the book from which this is copied, but they are omitted because they are so many. Creation proves a Trinity. In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth, Gen. i. 1. All things were made by Jesus Christ, Eph. iii. 9. Lord, thou art God, which hast made heaven and earth, Acts iv. 24. All things were made by Christ without him no one thing, John

i. 3. For by him were all things created that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers, all things were created by him, and for him, Col. i. 16. The Spirit of God moved on the face of the waters, Gen. i. 2. The creation of man shows the Trinity. Let us make man, Gen. i. 26. The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life, Job xxxiii. 4. The birth of our Saviour proves a Trinity. His baptism at Jordan proves a Trinity.

In the book from which these few texts are taken, proving the Trinity, there were many pages of incontrovertible passages from the Bible, which one might suppose would remove all doubt on the subject: but they would swell the book to too great a size; and besides that, I feel an awe stealing over me as I write-so as almost to question the propriety of introducing themes so sacred into a fictitious narrative. Yet, HE to whom I wish to devote my feeble powers, does not, I trust, frown on the motive that impels my pen. It was thought that probably many might be induced to read a tale, who would not be tempted by
