 II. The Nanjft^^of the Father, the Son, 
 and the Holy Spirit is the doctrinal name 
 of the Lord Jesus tho Ohrist, und,involva8 
 the following essential truths: 
 
 1. In relation to the Father. The

 Hi creation of the Father, by operation of

 kingdom and glory, and who shall obtain 
 the Sonship, according to the law of the 
 Spirit of the life i njjy Christ Jeaua, 
 through sanetification WP* Snirit and be- , 
 lief of the truth. The Yon became the 
 Lamb of God, which taketh away the ain 
 
 ' of the world, when, being found aa a nan, 
 holy, harmless, undefiled. and ae|MUrate 
 from sinners, he Iras called aa thotMsophet 
 like unto Moaea, to be the niniatf r oTti^^ 
 oiroumcision, for the truth of God to ooi»>

 Spirit, and power without meaaure, to 
 spoak tho words and to do the worka of 
 the Father, in the proclamation of thq 
 glad tidings of the Gospel of the kingdom 
 of God, and of himself as its Messiah; and 
 
 « having finished the work the Father had 
 given him to do, he- wu out off for die 
 
 ' transgression of Jehovah's people, to ttiako , 
 a reoonciliation for iniqiuity, to bring in 
 an everlaating righteousness, to seal np tho

 m Ab Holy Spirit influence, or iTio -

 of Qod for the display of His glory

 obnorve Ilia commflndinents to do them, 
 that tlioy may hodolivcrel from tho bon^ 
 dage of corruption, (ind brought into tho 
 glorious liberty of tho Sons of God. 
 
 III. The things eoncerniog tho King" 
 dom of Ood which iuvolve tlieao oitsential 
 truths. 
 
 1. In relation to tho Nature and Full 
 of Miin. 
 
 '(a. ) Man's nature is mortal and corrupt- 
 ible, thuH — Ood created tho man Adam 
 a living soul of fleMh and blood, to bo a 
 progenitor of a race of like living aouln, 
 . capable of death and corruption, and 
 placed him in the garden of Kden in a 
 state of probation and freewill, and rc^ 
 sponsible to a law which inflicted tho pen" 
 alty of death for disobcdionco to its in- 
 junotioni!, but by a loving obedience to 
 which ho might have attained to a spirit- 
 lifo witltont tho aofferiog of death, when 
 he ha(| run his earthly eonr»e or term of 
 probation. And God gave dominion over 
 the earth and its inferior creations to him, 
 and his ofiapring in their suosesciivo gene 
 rations. 
 
 {b.) Man transgressed and fell from his 
 first estate, thus : The >maa Adam traoe-' 
 gresscd the law of his natural existence by 
 yielding to the toiiiptatiou of the woman, 
 who was' beguiled by the serpent^ the most 
 Btibtio of the boasts of the field, and in so 
 doing he bccamo unclean, and brdught . 
 upon himself and his posterity^ the curse 
 of a broken law, and lout the hopd of eter- 
 nal life, as well as the dominion with whioh 
 ho had betn iuveated by his Creator and 
 friend. So that according to tho Scrips 
 turcs. the Adam sinned when he was dr^wn 
 away of his own lust and enticed, and lust 
 when it had conceived brought forth sin^ 
 and sin when it was finished brought forth 
 dfeath, for " Tho wages of sin is death/' 
 and so death passed upon all men in the- 
 Adani, because in him all have sinned and 
 come short .of the glory of God. 
 
 2. In relation to the promises of Ood - 
 for man's redendption from tbe law of sin 
 
 
 
 ik' 
 
 and death, 
 
 (a.) The Lord when he pronounced 
 sentence of death with its preluniiiary in-

 embraced find dcflnod further in tho 
 
 [h.l Abnihanii(T proiniww and <5ovonnnt, 
 which voihul to Abrahiun tho name hop« 
 of immortality in " willing " to him an^ 
 his seed tho cvorlttHtiiig poHMflHion of tho 
 land of Canaan, and in hitu and hiH Hccd 
 all the nations of tho earth should bo 
 blessed. Iloneo Abraham, with Tmino and 
 Jacob, tho fathera of the nation of iHrnel, 
 to whom the like promises woro made, is 
 the holder of tho promises on behalf of all 
 who should attain to tho righteousness 
 which is by fuith of them. These promi- 
 808 and covenant woro particnluNHed in the 
 personification of tho soed as a King, and 
 <y' I '^ the settlement of the land as a Kingdom 
 under him for a " hidden period " in tho 
 
 (c.) Davidio CoTcnant of Promise — 
 irhich assured to i)uvid tho Loj^i^gn- 
 liointed king of His Kingdom (M||rael 
 Under tho Mosaic covenant of tbo^iifid of 
 promise, tlie same Hope of immortality in 
 tho promise of tho Lord to make him a 
 house, and to sot up his seed flfber him, 
 prooeeding out of his bowels, and to es* 
 tablish his throne and his kingdom for 
 V ever, and that the Lord himself would bo 
 the fSithor of this seed, and he should bo 
 His Son and bo would cause him to su'ffer 
 for iniqnity the chastening of the stripes 
 due to tho ehildren of Adam^ but " His 
 merer should not depart from him, and in 
 him, J[>aTid's house andl kingdom should be 
 ostabHriiod forerer before David, his throne 
 should 1»e established forever,'' .and which 
 . tovenaut. was all the salvation and all the 
 desire of Divid, and of all Israelites of 
 like preeiout faith who waited fpt the eon* 
 f lolatMiD of Israel, and because also, this was 
 the iiatioDal hope of deliverance from the 
 ' Hand of all thoir enemies in the day when 
 the Lord shotild perform the truth unto Ja- v 
 eoh« an d t h e morey to Abrahatti, which h o 
 
 
 had sworn unto-the fathers firom the days of 
 old. Bo' that according to the Soripturetf, 
 etenud life^ or gloryj honor and inocnrupti' 
 
 billly, is tho grnolous gift of Clod IhrooK^'
