Face to Face The Communication under Moses his Administrations being but his back Parts of Types to Ours And Ours The Gospel administrations but mediate in the Face of Jesus Christ 2 Cor 4.6 i. by his Energies as Mediator and Apostle not Face to Face of the Subsistencies by their Energies Though when we come thus Face to Face and that the Subsistencies become thus comprehensible Incomprehensibility is even then and afterwards fixt to the Essence as that Abysse unfathomable that state of Godhead Incomprehensible according to the second Note Essence as They in it in the Inbeing It in them Subsistentiated and Emaned now and for ever incomprehensible The Consideration of Our Lord Jesus Christ as represented in this Scheme relative to his distinct Offices and Works of Mediatorship and Apostleship FRom these Inward Lines and their junctures with themselves and the rest of the Body as the Spirit and Informing part of the whole That which next occurres is the consideration of our Lord Jesus Christ through whom onely we can blesse God because through Him onely God hath been thus good unto us in whom all these Advances being first wrought they through Him are as we have said transmitted unto us Him therefore we represent I.
