THE
MOSAIC HISTORY, &c.
CHAPTER I.
ON THE CREATOR OF THE WORLD.
Distinguished by his name JEHOVAH -- His essence and
self-existence expressed by the words I AM -- His attribute
of goodness the glory of all his other perfections -- Elohim
signifying a Trinity of Persons in a Unity of Essence -- The
Creation ascribed to one God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy
Spirit -- The first production of matter -- The creatures made
for the manifesting of God’s attributes, and that he might
impart happiness to them.
As it is proposed, in the following pages to give the Mosaic account
of the creation of the world, it is very natural that the mind should
come to the meditation of this interesting subject, by contemplating
the character of the Great Creator, according to his own revelations.
