INTERESTING DEFINITION IN 1764 ETYMOLOGICAL DICTIONARY BY N.M. BAILEY

A friend of Mikiverse Law has a great 18th century dictionary called "A Universal Etymological English Dictionary" and on occasion, we like to look up salient and interesting words. My friend scanned this picture so I could read the definition of the word "God".
Unbeknownst to him, I have taken his photo and turned it into an article here. Not to share the definition of "God" with you, but the word "Godfather".
"A man that is surety for a Child in Baptism"
