"DEUS enim est, qui divinam habet naturam, et Homo qui humanam. "Greg. Nyssenus, tractatu adv. Græcos, statim in principio, tom. 2. p. 82. Ει το ΘΕΟΣ ονομα προσωπων σε δηλωτικόν ὑπηρχε, τρια προσωπα λέγοντες εξ αναγκης σε αν τρεις ελεγομεν Θεους. Ει δε ΘΕΟΣ ονομα ουσίας σημαντικόν εστι, μιαν ουσιαν ὁμολογοῦντες της άγιας Τριαδος, ένα Θεον εικοτως δοξάζομεν· επει μιας ουσίας ἐν ονομα το ΘΕΟΣ εστι. Si nomen hoc DEUS personas denotaret, cùm tres personas dicimus ex necessitate "tres diceremus Deos. Quòd si verò nomen DEUS "Essentiam designat, dum unam Essentiam confitemur "in sanctâ Trinitate, Unum Deum meritò glorificamus, "quia Unius Essentiæ Unum Nomen DEUS est."

"the true Light"] "To the same pur66 pose he (i. e. St. John) tells us, (ch. 1.) ver. 9. That "was the true Light, which lighteth every Man that "cometh into the World. That light, which lighteth 66 66 every particular Man, can be no other than the "Eternal Essential Light, which bestows the principle "of Reason and Knowledge on Mankind, on every « man coming into the World, Ερχομενον εις τον xoσμov, in his natural generation and birth, which "therefore must signify the natural principle of Reason " and Understanding, and which every Man brings into "the World with him; and which, as the Evangelist "tells us, he receives from this Eternal, Essential Light."

"Jehovah our Righteousness"] In his Work entitled "The Christian Doctrine of the Trinity," Dr. Watts proves our Lord to be called JEHOVAH, by appealing to Jeremiah, xxiii. 6. compared with 1 Cor. i. 30.-to Isaiah, vi. 1, 9, 10., compared with St. John, xii. 40, 41. Parkhurst makes the following observations :-" Con"cerning John the Baptist we are assured by St. Mat"thew, chap. iii. 3. This is he that was spoken of by the prophet Esaias, saying, The voice of one crying in "the Wilderness, Prepare ye the way of JEHOVAH, "make his paths straight. But John came to prepare "the way of JESUS, (see ver. 10-13.—St. John, i. 15. "29-31.) JESUS therefore is JEHOVAH. (Compare St. Luke, i. 67-76.”) “Again; Mark, i. 1, 2. The beginning of the Gospel of Jesus Christ the "Son of God. As it is written in the Prophets, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who "shall prepare thy way before theever. 4. John "did baptize, &c. The second verse is a reference to Malachi, iii. 1. Behold I will send my messenger, "and he shall prepare the way before me- saith "Jehovah of hosts. In the Evangelist he is sent "before JESUS. Therefore JESUS is JEHOVAH 66 of hosts. P. 47. of Parkhurst's Work, on "The Divinity and Pre-existence of OUR LORD AND "SAVIOUR." Printed in 1787. On the application of the name "Jehovah" to Our Lord, in correspondence with the prophecy of Isaiah, Nares has this remark: 66 All the Evangelists begin their Gospels with the "account of the preaching of St. John the Baptist, declaring that this was he that was spoken of by "the prophet Isaias, saying, The voice of one crying "in the Wilderness, Prepare ye the way of the LORD, 66 "make his paths straight.' Now, in the original prophecy of Isaiah the words are these, Prepare ye "the way of JEHOVAH;' and as every body "knows that the LXXII Jews, who made the Greek "translation of the Bible, had no other term to ex"press JEHOVAH but the term Kopios, it should "certainly be so rendered in the above passages of the Gospels; for here,' as a very learned Author says, "we find all the four Evangelists, three of whom "at least were Jews, bearing witness to the same thing, that Jesus is the JEHOVAH prophesied "of by Isaiah, whose way the Baptist was to prepare."" Remarks on the Version of the New Testament lately edited by the Unitarians; by Rev. Edward Nares, p. 36. Ed. 1810. Bishop Pearson thus illustrates Jer. xxiii. 6.:-"What "is the name of the Messiah? R. Abba said, JEHO"VAH is his name; as it is said, (Jer. xxiii. 6.) "And this is the name which they shall call him, "JEHOVAH OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS. 66 66 Being then Christ is thus peculiarly called our Righteousness in the Gospel; being the place of the Prophet forementioned speaketh of this as a name "to be used under the Gospel; being no other person "called JEHOVAH is ever expressly called our 66 Righteousness in the Gospel; it followeth, not only "that Christ may be so called; but that the Prophecy "cannot otherwise be fulfilled, than by acknowledging "that Christ is THE LORD OUR RIGHTEOUS"NESS; and, consequently, that is his name, not by 66 66 way of proposition, but of apposition and appropri"ation; so that being both JEHOVAH and OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS, He is as truly JEHOVAH "as OUR RIGHTEOUSNESS."
