I need not tell you I am no scholar, I wish I was; but the passage must be read in the plural, according to the testimony of most Hebrew scholars—_Remember now thy_ CREATORS. There are other texts which must be read in the same way: _Where is God thy_ MAKERS, _who giveth songs in the night_? _Let Israel rejoice in_ THEM _that made him_. _Thy_ MAKERS _is thy husband_; _the Lord of Hosts is his name_. We live in an awful day, wherein the most crying sin of our nation is the dreadful opposition to the doctrine of the most adorable Trinity in Unity, though it is a truth so clearly revealed—the foundation of the Church and the christian’s highest glory. Alas! how awfully opposed! Many great and learned, experimental christians have employed their pens in proving from sacred scripture, this most glorious point of Doctrine, the foundation of all the rest. The adversaries of this truth pretend to hold the Unity of the Godhead—so do we. They say there is but one God—so do we; but can they prove that the Godhead does not, cannot admit of _three_ distinct Persons in that Essence?—No! We, then, who are Trinitarians, can prove that there is but one simple, undivided Essence; and, that, if there is any truth in the Bible, there are _distinct subsistences_ in that one Godhead—that these three are equal in power, majesty, dignity, and glory; co-equal, co-essential, and co-eternal. There are not three Gods, but _three Persons_ in the Godhead. That there are three distinct Subsistences, which, for want of better words, we call _Persons_, is evident from a vast many passages of scripture—distinct from each other, in Person, Name, and Office; for, to what beside the term Person, can we with any propriety apply the distinct acts of speaking, working, and commanding? And the Persons in the Trinity are clearly set forth by their personal characters, such as _I_, _me_, _him_, _thou_, _his_, _he_. The scriptures plainly declare that _there are three that bear record in heaven_, _the Father_, _the Word_, _and the Holy Ghost—and these three are one_—one in the divine Essence, undivided, which Essence is peculiar to the three; yet these have different modes of subsisting in this Essence, which we must call Persons—and they must be Persons, to be Testifiers—testifying is a personal act; if the Father is one testifier, the Son another, and the Holy Ghost a third, they must be three _Persons_, not three Gods; only one in the divine Essence, but three distinct in Personality, Name, and Office. The Unity of the Godhead is exprest in this text, _Hear O Israel_, _the Lord our God is one Lord_. But the Plurality of Persons in the Godhead is exprest as before—_There are three which bear record_, _the Father_, _the Word_, _and the Holy Ghost_. There is one God; this is not said to the exclusion of the Son and the Spirit, for the Word is applied to both as well as to the Father, and in the same senses.
