Wherein is proved that there is but One God, the Creator and Former of all Things.
TO shew this, I shall only give a bare Citation of several Texts of Scrip∣ture, and not take up our time, in that which is so generally believed by all Per∣sons.
Deut. 6.4. Hear O Israel, the Lord our
God is one Lord. 1 Sam. 2.2. There is none Holy as the Lord, for there is none besides thee, &c. Isa. 46.9. Remember the former Things of old, for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me. 1 Cor. 4.6. There is none other God but One: but to us there is but one God the Father, of whom are all things. 1 Tim. 2.5. For there is but one God, &c. Jam. 2.19. Thou believest there is but one God, thou dost well. Nehem. 9.6. Thou, even thou, art Lord alone; Thou hast made Heaven, the Heaven of Heavens with all their Hosts, the Earth and all Things that are therein, the Sea and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all, and the Host of Heaven worshippeth thee. Psal. 86.9, 10. All Nations whom thou hast made, shall come and worship before thee, O Lord, and shall glori∣fy thy Name: For thou art great, and doest wondrous Things, thou art God alone. Isa. 44.6. Thus saith the Lord, the King of Is∣rael, and his Redeemer the Lord of Hosts, I am the first, and I am the last, and besides me there is no God. Ver. 24. I am the Lord that maketh all Things. Isa. 45.18. For thus saith the Lord, that created the Hea∣vens, God himself that formed the Earth and made it: He hath established it, He created
it not in vain, He formed it to be inhabited, I am the Lord, and there is none else. There are many other Scriptures of like import, but these are plain and sufficient Testimonies to prove that there is but one God the Creatour and Former of all Things.
