Although we are assured this is his _mode of existence_, we do not pretend to comprehend the _nature_ of it. We may, without any injury to the proposition, affirm, the _nature_ of the fact is incomprehensible by _created intellect_. Yet the fact itself is sufficiently well attested, and is not repugnant to reason, though it is above the comprehension of reason. It is believed by many very learned, pious, and eminent men, that the doctrine of a _plurality of persons in the Godhead_, can be established by an argumentation founded solely on the acknowledged nature of the Divine Being. The Rev. JAMES KIDD, Prof. of Oriental Languages, Marischal College and University, Aberdeen, with the approbation of many learned men in England, among whom is Dr. Adam Clarke, in whose house he delivered private lectures on his manuscript, has published a very able and satisfactory essay on this plan, of which a brief clue to the mode of argumentation is here attempted. A. _The Divine Being is a necessarily existent, and an eternally, immensely, and immutably Living, Intelligent, Rational, Moral, Benevolent, and Spiritual Essence._ B. _The very_ LAW _of the nature of such a being, is eternal, immense, and immutable_ ACTIVITY, ENERGY, _and_ EFFICIENCY, _exercised eternally, immensely, and immutably_, ACCORDING TO HIS OWN NATURE. C. _That such a being_ WAS _as necessarily existent, perfect, and happy,_ BEFORE _creation, and providence as since; and would forever continue as necessarily existent, perfect, and happy, if creation and providence should cease to be_. These three propositions are so obviously true, every reader will readily and cordially grant them. It is proposed, therefore, to show, from the nature of the Divine Being, _that his Essence_ MUST _subsist in a plurality of persons_. The proposition does not contemplate an explanation of the _manner_ of this subsistence; nor, at present, the _number_ of persons; but the simple fact, _That_ FROM THE VERY NATURE OF THE DIVINE BEING, HIS ESSENCE MUST SUBSIST IN PLURAL PERSONALITY. The existence of a being, or the possession, or exercise of any principle, passion or attribute, _implies personality_, or individual identity, which is the same thing. The mind cannot conceive of existence, passion, principle, or action, without conceiving of them inhering in actually existing Essence, which _must_ assume in the mind the idea of personality. Therefore, _personality_ is strictly, and properly applicable to the Divine Essence. But the doctrine of a _plural_ personality is to be established at present.
