The Prophet read the 3rd. Rev.

text 6th. v. & made us K[ings] & P[riests] unto God & his Fa[the]r. to him be glory & dom[inion] for evermore—

It is altog[ethe]r. correct in the translat[io]n.— now you know that of late some have sprung up & apostat[ized]: & they declare that the Pro[phet] bel[ieves]: in a plurality of Gods— & lo & behold a very great secret they cry it has been my intent[io]n. to take up this subj[ec]t. & shew what my Faith is in the matter— I have contemplated the saying of Je[sus] as it was in the days of Noah so shall it be at his 2nd. coming & if it rains ill [I’ll] preach— the plurality of Gods— I have selected this text I wish to declare I have allways— & in all congregatns. when I have preached it has been the plurality of Gods it has been preachd 15 years— I have always decl[are]d. God to be a distinct personage— J. C. [Jesus Christ] a sep[arate]: & distinct pers from God the Far., the H. G [Holy Ghost] was a distinct personage & a Sp[irit] & these 3 constit[ute] 3 distinct personages & 3 Gods— if this is in accordance with the New Test[ament]— lo <​&​> behold we have 3 Gods any how & they are plural any how— our text says the apost[le] have disc[overe]d. that there were Gods above— God was the Far. of our L[or]d. J. C.— my object was to preach the Scrip[tures]— & preach the doctrine there being a God above the Far. of our Ld. J. C.— I am bold to declare I have taut. all the strong doctrines publicly— & always stronger that [than?] what I preach in private— John was one of the men & the apos. declare they were made K. & P. unto God the Far. of our Ld. J. C. it reads just so hence the doctrine of a plurality of Gods is as prominent in the Bible as any doctrine— it is all over the face of the Bible, it stands beyond the power of controversy— a wayfaring man tho a fool need not fail— Paul says there are Gods many & Lords many— I want to set it in a plain simple man[n]er— but to us there is but one God pertaining to us, in all thro all,— but if J. Smith says there is Gods many & Lds. many they cry away with him crucify him mankind verily say that the Scrip [i]s with them— Search the Scrip &c they testify of things that apostates wo[ul]d. blaspheme— Paul if Jo Smith is a blasphemer you are— I say there are Gods many & Ld<​s​> many but to us— only one & we are to be in subjectn. to that one & no man can limit the bounds, or the eternal existence of eternal time— hath he beheld the et[erna]l. world, & is he auth[orize]d. to say that there is only God he makes himself a fool— & there is an end of his career in knowledge he cannot obt[ai]n. all knowledge for he has sealed up the Gate to [it?] [p.
