These things are plainly held forth in the Holy Scriptures.
First; God as to his Being or Nature is One or Alone. What he is in this respect no other is. He is therefore said to be One Jehovah, or Lord, Deut. 6.4. Mark 12.29. Hence is that saying of Christ to the young ⟨p. 24⟩Man that called him, Good Master. Why (saith Jesus) callest thou me Good? There is none good but One, that is, God, Mat. 19.16, 17. For the same God is said to be only wise, Rom. 16.27. 1 Tim. 1.17. Jud. v. 25. and alone to have Immortality, 1 Tim. 6.16.
Secondly; God in respect of his Kingdom and Government, is One or Alone, There is no other that is such a King, Lord, or Governor as he. Deut. 32.39. See now, (saith the Lord) that I, even I am he, and there is no God with me: I kill, and I make alive; I wound, and I heal: neither is there any that can deliver out of my hand. 1 Tim. 6.15. He is the only Potentate.
