3. Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary
Trinity
   a word not found in Scripture, but used to express the doctrine
   of the unity of God as subsisting in three distinct Persons.
   This word is derived from the Gr. trias, first used by
   Theophilus (A.D. 168-183), or from the Lat. trinitas, first used
   by Tertullian (A.D. 220), to express this doctrine. The
   propositions involved in the doctrine are these: 1. That God is
   one, and that there is but one God (Deut. 6:4; 1 Kings 8:60;
   Isa. 44:6; Mark 12:29, 32; John 10:30). 2. That the Father is a
   distinct divine Person (hypostasis, subsistentia, persona,
   suppositum intellectuale), distinct from the Son and the Holy
   Spirit. 3. That Jesus Christ was truly God, and yet was a Person
   distinct from the Father and the Holy Spirit. 4. That the Holy
   Spirit is also a distinct divine Person.
   

4. The Devil's Dictionary (1881-1906)
TRINITY, n.  In the multiplex theism of certain Christian churches,
three entirely distinct deities consistent with only one.  Subordinate
deities of the polytheistic faith, such as devils and angels, are not
dowered with the power of combination, and must urge individually
their claims to adoration and propitiation.  The Trinity is one of the
most sublime mysteries of our holy religion.  In rejecting it because
it is incomprehensible, Unitarians betray their inadequate sense of
theological fundamentals.  In religion we believe only what we do not
understand, except in the instance of an intelligible doctrine that
contradicts an incomprehensible one.  In that case we believe the
former as a part of the latter.
