3 The words which be in the second book of Samuel, the seventh chapter, 1verse the 23. namely, The gods came that he might redeem unto himself a people, are a sharp corsie unto the Hebrews, which will not acknowledge three persons in the divine nature. Some, because it is said, Gods, refer it to the opinion of men. Such is that saying of Paul; There be many gods, and many lords. 2For neither can they admit or allow of a multitude of gods. But forsomuch as the entreating here is of a singular or particular fact, this place must in any wise be understood of the true God. Kimhi thinketh, that David said, Gods, for honour sake; even as men also, to speak the more pleasingly and civilly, do oftentimes use the plural number, in stead of the singular. But if it be so, what new religion entered straightway into David? Why did he straightway add; Thou Lord, in the singular number? For we must heap upon God all the honours that we can. Others had rather refer this saying unto Moses and Aaron, who were sent to deliver the people out of Egypt: but this cannot be; for in the book of Chronicles, ⟨p. 101⟩all these things are spoken of God himself by name. 3For so David speaketh; Thou camest to redeem thy people. Wherefore we shall much more rightly and truly understand the three persons in one divine nature; 4namely, the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost: which being three persons, yet are they shut up under one substance. This opinion is true, sound, and catholic, whether the Hebrews will or no.
