I believe in one God, the first and great cause of goodness. I also believe in Jesus Christ, the rebirth of the world. I also believe in the Holy Ghost, the comforter.

The statement reads like a personal creed modeled on the Trinitarian structure of the Apostles’/Nicene tradition—affirming God as the ultimate source of moral good, Christ as the agent of renewal (“rebirth of the world”), and the Holy Spirit as sustaining consolation (“the comforter,” echoing John 14–16). Its emphasis is less on doctrinal precision than on experiential and ethical religion: God grounds goodness, Christ inaugurates a transformed world, and the Spirit provides ongoing inner support. If genuinely attributable to Daniel Morgan, it would signal conventional Christian belief framed in Enlightenment-inflected moral language (“first and great cause of goodness”), blending piety with a rational, cause-and-effect vocabulary.
