and the Holy Ghost Lord. And yet not three Lords: but one Lord."

Then follows this strange confession of what is at once required by
"Christian verity," and forbidden by the "Catholick Religion": "For like
as we are compelled by the Christian verity: to acknowledge every Person
by himself to be God and Lord; so are we forbidden by the Catholick
Religion: to say, There be three Gods, or three Lords."

5. The Mission of Columbus and Its Results.--Unto Nephi, son of Lehi,
was shown the future of his people, including the degeneracy of a branch
thereof, afterward known as Lamanites and in modern times as American
Indians. The coming of a man from among the Gentiles, across the deep
waters, was revealed in such plainness as to positively identify that
man with Columbus; and the coming of other Gentiles to this land, out of
captivity, is equally explicit. The revelation is thus recorded by Nephi
to whom it was given: "And it came to pass that I looked and beheld many
waters; and they divided the Gentiles from the seed of my brethren. And
it came to pass that the angel said unto me, Behold the wrath of God is
upon the seed of thy brethren. And I looked and beheld a man among the
Gentiles who was separated from the seed of my brethren by the many
waters; and I beheld the Spirit of God, that it came down and wrought
upon the man; and he went forth upon the many waters, even unto the seed
of my brethren, who were in the promised land. And it came to pass that
I beheld the Spirit of God, that it wrought upon other Gentiles; and
they went forth out of captivity, upon the many waters." (1 Nephi
13:10-13). The establishment of a great Gentile nation on the American
continent, the subjugation of the Lamanites or Indians, the war between
the newly established nation and Great Britain, or "their mother
Gentiles," and the victorious outcome of that struggle for independence,
are set forth with equal clearness in the same chapter.
