"The ideas which he held of the Supreme Being and of a future state, appeared very reasonable to the English; but he was so firm in the persuasion of the divine unity, that it was impossible to get him to reason calmly upon the doctrine of the Trinity.

A New Testament in Arabic had been given him.

He read it; and, giving his ideas, respectfully, concerning it, began by declaring that having examined it carefully, he could not find a word from which he could conclude that there were three Gods."[2] [Footnote 1: There is a scarce octavo portrait of him, head and shoulders only, etched by the celebrated painter, Mr.Hoare, of Bath, in 1734, as appears by a manuscript note on the impression of it in Mr.Bindley's possession.

Under the print is engraved, "_JOB, son of Solliman Dgialla, high priest of Bonda, in the country of Foota, Africa_."] [Footnote 2: "Il etoit si ferme dans la persuasion de l'unite divine, qu'il fut impossible de le faire raisouner paisiblement sur la Trinite.

On lui avoit donue un Nouveau Testament daus sa langue, il le lut, et s'expliquant, avec respect, sur ce livre, il commence par declarer que l'ayant examine fort soigneusement, il n'y avoit pas trouve un mot d'ou l'on fuit conclure qu'il y eut trois dieux." _Histoire generale des Voyages, par l'Abbe_ A.F.Prevost.
