well as our God , the fountain of all good , who gave him all his glory , who taught him all his doctrines , who is the o $ ly object of all religious homage , and the only strength of evetfy creature ;
and before whom he lay prostrate , a $ d poured out the most devout supplications and thanksgivings , He taught us that this Lard our God is One Lord * that there is no other God with him or besides him , that he himself was his
dependant , his devout worshipper , and that he came not to do his own will , but wholly delighted to do the will of him who sent him . His apostles taught us the same doctrine , that there is only One
God the Father of all , the King Eternal , Invisible , and the only wise God > that he is the God of Christ , his Head , his God and Father , who raised him from the dead * and exalted him to all that
glory and dominion be possesses . According to the doctrine of the New Testament , ' this Almighty an < i everlasting God is not compounded of different persons , but one individual Essence , the Om *
mpotent Spirit , whom no man fa st *)* sesen or can see , and who is tvitkoUiany variableness or shadow of turning . The Lord Jesus Christ , then , being born and sent into the world to bear witness to this truth s

If we v ^ ould strictly follow tEe Lord Jesus , if we would shew anj regard to a divine revelation , if we would be governed by that rule of faith which we profess , we can worship only the One God and Father of all , we can
acknowledge no God with him , noe ascribe to any other being that glory which is due unto bis holy name- We can give no counted nance to the worship of any other beings , who are called gods , but must worship the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ as the
alone God in heaven above , and in the earth beneath . He is our only Creator and Sovereign , the God of our lives and of all our
mercies , and is entitled to *; hc exclusive and profoundest homage of every creature . The wide spreading heavens declare to ' uB this truth : and ihe Lord Jesus
was born and came into the world to bear witness of it to men , . and to lead them by his example to do every thing ^ iu tfieiir power to propagate it to all the ends of the
earth . All the other systems wljich are * opposite to this are the works of men , and cannot , stand the scrutiny df impartial reascwi . But divine tjruth it * precious , ? a # d cannever fail . And wbetheff Gad
