The Ancients understood that there was a Trinity in the Divine nature. When they entered into the most solemn contracts, they engaged to fulfil them, swearing by the name of four letters, the supreme : T: : name in Jehovah, which comprehends his UB1QUITY, ETERNITY, and SELF-EXISTENCE; because it contains all times past, present, and future. The JE, means the time to come- Ho, the time present- VAH, the time past; and the verb of existence, to be, means that he alone is self-existent so that the verb, and the times comprehended in the word, make four-1st. I AM— 2nd. THE PAST-3d. THE PRESENT-and 4th. THE FUTURE-which is the divine TRINITY in UNITY. In conformity with this, the Greeks used four letters for the name of God, Oos-the Latins Deus-the Arabians -the Egyptians Orus and Teut-the Persians Sire-the Sclavonian Bachthe Polonian Buog—the Magi Orsi-the Celts Thau-the Germans Diet-the French Dieu-the Spaniards Dios-the English Lord. The second name of God is JAH, which shows the going forth of the divine essence, in mighty power, Psalm lxviii. 4. The third name of God is WILL BE-I AM, Exod. iii. TN EHEYEH, I 14. i. e. I will be manifested. Christ applies this to himself, John viii. 58. ἐγώ εἰμι, Ι Α Μ. The fourth name is EL, the powerful God, Isa. ix. 8. It shows the communication of his as Gabriel, the strong God. power, is a noun singular, or it could not have been con nected with a verb singular. The seventh name of God is Adonai, the ruler, Psalm cx. 1. a lord. From this word came the name Adonis. The eighth name of God is Shaddai, the Almighty, Gen. xvii. 1. The ninth name is IN Jehovah Sabaoth, the Lord of Hosts. The tenth name of God is 1 ELION, the Most High, Psalm ix. 3. These are the ten proper names of God as recorded in the Scripture; and it is worthy of particular notice, that when the Divine Goodness proclaimed his name to Moses, when he caused his glory to pass by, before his face, Exod. xxxiv. he proclaimed his name in ten words, comprehending the perfections of the divine nature-in, Jehovah, Jehovah, God—, merciful , and gracious-, long-suffering-DEN, slow to anger, and multiply-TD, goodness-N and truth. Proposals FOR PRINTING BY SUBSCRIPTION A DEFENCE OF THE OLD AND NEW TESTAMENTS, With new Translations of many important Passages. The objections of the ancient and modern Deists during the last sixteen hundred years, from Porphyry and Celsus to Spinosa, Hobbes, Bolingbroke, Morgan, Tindal, Voltaire, and Paine, will be answered by a strict adherence to the literal meaning of the Hebrew language. It will contain researches into the customs, manners, and usages of the ancient Hebrews, 'the peculiar phraseology of the original language, translations of those passages which aid the cause of Deism, and which have been deemed unanswerable by deists in all ages since the dispersion of the Jews. This work is intended to be a faithful interpreter of those passages, which deists have adduced in order to invalidate divine revelation; and it will furnish the biblical student with conclusive arguments by which the genuineness and authenticity of the sacred writings will be established.
