The Perfons in the ever bleffed
Trinity are placed in this Order,
Mat. 28. 19. The Father, the Son,
the Holy Ghost. In this Order, L
Cor. 12.4, 5, 6. The fame Spirit,
the fame Lord, the fame God. In
2 Cor. 13. 14. they stand thus, Je-
fus Chrift, God, the Holy Ghoft.

Whoever shall confider what is
faid of the Divinity of Chrift, and
of the holy Spirit, under their re-
fpective Heads, will, I am ready to
think, fee caufe to believe, That
the divine Nature or Effence is
but
common to the three Perfons;
to enter upon Explications of what
is far, very far, beyond all our Ap-
prehenfions, is better let alone.
Should it be demanded what Idea
are we to form of the Generation
of the Son, and of the Proceffion of
the holy Ghoft, and how do they
differ from each other; wherein
confifts that Union, whereby they
are one God? I anfwer, I cannot

tell.
