sect , in common with the sect at Rome , worships one God under the name of the Trinity , and whom
they address m their prayers very frequently , the minister and the whole congregation using these words : O mo&t holy , blessed , and glorious Trinity , have mercy
upon us , miserable sinners ; " and that we may not be led astray by the word , they expressly say , that
this Trinity , is one God . Now the term Unitarian implies a worshipper of one God , whether that Crod goes under the name of Trinity . Jupiter , Baal , or Satan , or >
ia ^ cor .-JiRtr to us , under the name oi the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ ; and if a nation declares ttiat this Trinity , thi ^ Jupiter , this Bnal , this Satan / is ohiy one God , why should we endeavour to contradict them ? Let them call
themselves Unitarians , - if they pkasej and certainly it is better that they shduld ilAtter themselves even with the right" to the tiUe , than-contradict openly th < e Unity of God , by worshipping t&a * raonstious ficiiuh * ^ plurality of Gods .

£ < w is a compound term , compounded of tria ^ three , and unit as y unity ; and it implies a modification of the numbers of three and one , in the explanation of which many folios have been written . I am not going to enter upon the
voluminous controversy which this subject has occasioned , but shall observe only , that the word Trinit an is of the feminine gender , and , of course , all the epithets or adjectives applied to it are femi - nine . In speaking , therefore ^ ^ 6 f the Trinity , I beg to ask , whether the members of the established
sect among us , in speaking of their God , make use of the proper language : I ask them , whether they should say , he , she , or it . And again , whether they can apply the prjonoun I ? to-this God . For example ; in the scriptures our God
is introduced as saying , ** -I am Jehovah ; whb make all things , stretching forth fclone the heavens , and spreading abroad the eafih by mys / elf . I am Jehovah * and there is none else ; tfcrer&is iio God
besides me / ' The members of the established sect will very properly say , that these words may b « ap * plied tfcbtbciir God thus : lam the Trinity , who make all things , $ tfetching forth alone ^ the heavens , and spreading abroad the earth by myself . I arfi the Trinity , and there * is none cl&e , there is noiGod
besides me . v . , s ; : [ . ' ¦ \ .. iThey who do not worship thi ^ ( God , called the Trinity ^ may in * ^ feed mak ^ jsotote qbj ^ cuohs ^ oMlh ^ appUcat / cm // I , ha / we ^ Tnad 6 oi ^ the ^^^ niin the a ( boye pas ^ agds , ; but wV , businesB is ^ not now Avithithem :
