Johann Friedrich Schleusner (1759-1831)

The Bible, and Nothing But the Bible, the Religion of the Church of England: Being an Answer to the Letter of an Unitarian Lay Seceder [i.e. “A Letter to the Bishop of St. David's” by G. W. Meadley]: with Notes and Illustrations Containing Schleusner's Interpretation of Passages of the New Testament Relative to the Established Doctrines of Christianity: to which are Added, a Postscript on the Anti-Socinianism of Newton and Locke: and a Letter Dedicatory to the Bishop of Gloucester on the Divinity and Atonement of Christ (1815)

p. 36-38 Schleusner and Porson discussion
https://books.google.com/books?id=RPhiAAAAcAAJ&pg=PA36
To the proofs of the distinct personality Of the three Divine Persons mentioned before in p. 32. and here by Schleusker, we may add the following passages of St. Paul .... and of St. John: “ There are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Spirit: and these three are one:” which Schleusner understands of union of testimony: Utnam eudenque rem suo tesimunio confirmant and quotes without the slightest hint as to spuriousness or want of authority. The name therefore of Schleusner may be added to the number of increasing advocates for its auththenticity.
