the common basis of
the Devil while on the earth, and both have been worship-
ped by millions up to the present day. Since God can be
born of the Tribe of Judah, how, I ask, is it impossible
that he should be born of the Tribe of Rughoo, or of
any other nation or race of men ? And as the human
form and feelings of Ram afford sceptice no good argu-
ment against his omnipresent and divine nature, it must
be evident to you that this deluded sect of Unitarianism
can lay no stress on the human form and feelings of
Jesus Christ as disproving his divinity.
When therefore the resemblance is so very striking,
and ought to be known to you as well as to every other
man having the least pretensions to an acquaintance with
the learning and religion of the Natives of India,—how
is it possible that you can feel offended at the mention
of a fact so notorious ? You may perhaps urge, that
there is a wide difference between a belief in three Per-
sons in the Godhead as maintained by you, and a belief
in three hundred and thirthy millions of Persons in the
Godhead, entertained by the Hindoos. But as all
such numerical objection are founded on the frail basis
of human reason, which we well know is fallible, you
must admit that the same omnipotence, which can make
three ONE and one THREE, can equally reconcile
the unity and plurality of three hundred and thirty
millions, both being supported by a sublime mystery
which far transcends all human comprehension.
The vain and narrow-minded believers in one In-
visible God accuse the followers of the Trinity as well
as us the sincere worshippers of Ram and other Divine
Incarnations, of being Idolaters ; and policy therefore
might have suggested to you the propriety of maintaining
the common basis of
