have you know, that the head of every man is Christ,
and the head of the woman is the man, and the head of
11 'Christ is God."
The Editor shews an instance in Isaiah, in which seven
women wish to be called by the name of a husband, to
have their reproach taken away. He must also know
that thousands of sons and descendants are called by
r the name of one of' their fathers, and servants by the
name of their masters, to the honour of the father or the
: master. Vide Isaiah xlviii. 1 ; Gen. xliii. 6 ; Hosea xi. 8, 9 ;
' Exod. xxiii. 21. The Editor then proceeds to divide
t the honorary names, found in scripture, into two kinds ;
>-one given by men, and the other given by God ; but he
1 must know that the names given by prophets, or by
>»common men, if used and confirmed by God, or by
i any of the sacred writers, become as worthy of attention
> as if they had been bestowed originally by the Deity
I himself.
The Editor again uses the following words : " The
i incommunicable name Jehovah," the self-existent, from
3 the verb kazva/i, " to be " or " to exist," which is
5 applied to no one throughout the scripture besides
i the sacred three," &c. We know very numerous
;i instances in which the name "Jehovah " is applied
J*to the most sacred God, but never met with an
i instance of applying to two other sacred persons the
3 simple term "Jehovah." I wish the Editor had been
g good enough to have taken into consideration that
J this is the very point in dispute, and to have shewn
[i instances in which the second and third persons of the
I Deity (according to the Editor's expression) are addressed
d .by this name. He further observes, that "no one sup-
