In like manner, if we suppose God to be the first of all beings, we must, unavoidably, therefrom conclude his unity.

As to the ineffable Trinity subsisting in this Unity, a mystery discovered only by the Sacred Scriptures, especially in the New Testament, where it is more clearly revealed than in the Old, let others boldly pry into it, if they please, while we receive it with our humble faith, and think it sufficient for us to admire and adore.
But surely it having been revealed to us, we may venture to say,--that a positive unity, so far from excluding, implies plurality, and that the Godhead is a fulness, [Greek: plaeroma].

Here Leighton followed too incautiously the Fathers.
