son_n be_v the_o coessential_a son_n of_o the_o father_n must_v also_o be_v all_o light_n all_o life_n and_o all_o love_n thus_o the_o father_n be_v in_o the_o son_n and_o the_o son_n in_o the_o

that_o of_o the_o son_n sweet_a mild_a and_o gentle_a for_o this_o be_v no_o way_n consistent_a with_o the_o one_o simple_a nature_n of_o the_o deity_n the_o father_n be_v all_o light_n life_n and_o love_n in_o the_o son_n nature_n and_o the_o son_n be_v all_o light_n life_n and_o love_n in_o the_o father_n nature_n the_o nature_n of_o the_o father_n flow_v from_o himself_o be_v the_o

the_o fix_a seat_n of_o the_o father_n light_n life_n and_o love_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o neither_o angel_n nor_o saint_n be_v in_o this_o degree_n codeisied_a and_o consubstantiate_v with_o the_o

he_o be_v one_o be_v and_o one_o nature_n with_o the_o father_n the_o very_a heart_n of_o the_o father_n and_o his_o express_a image_n when_o he_o be_v the_o beauty_n brightness_n and_o excellence_n of_o his_o father_n glory_n and_o exalt_v to_o a_o equality_n of_o honour_n and_o dominion_n with_o the_o father_n as_o sit_v in_o the_o same_o throne_n with_o the_o father_n and_o possess_v the_o

the_o five_o place_n this_o son_n be_v the_o essential_a christ_n of_o god_n i_o will_v not_o have_v you_o stumble_v at_o this_o expression_n i_o may_v indeed_o have_v omit_v it_o but_o for_o the_o matter_n sake_n for_o you_o must_v take_v notice_n that_o i_o speak_v here_o of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n as_o they_o exist_v without_o nature_n and_o in_o this_o state_n the_o son_n of_o god_n can_v proper_o be_v call_v the_o christ_n that_o be_v the_o anoint_v because_o thus_o consider_v he_o be_v not_o anoint_v to_o any_o office_n for_o it_o be_v after_o his_o enter_v into_o the_o property_n of_o nature_n that_o he_o be_v anoint_v to_o be_v the_o mediator_n yet_o bear_v with_o i_o for_o use_v this_o word_n improper_o because_o i_o do_v it_o only_o for_o this_o end_n to_o give_v you_o a_o more_o clear_a and_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o what_o the_o son_n of_o god_n be_v as_o he_o exist_v before_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o what_o he_o be_v in_o the_o property_n of_o eternal_a nature_n but_o you_o will_v ask_v of_o i_o why_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n out_o of_o and_o before_o nature_n and_o particular_o why_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o essential_a christ_n of_o god_n as_o exist_v before_o nature_n i_o answer_v that_o my_o speak_n of_o the_o holy_a trinity_n and_o particular_o of_o the_o second_o person_n who_o be_v the_o christ_n of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v before_o nature_n be_v only_o in_o order_n to_o give_v you_o a_o more_o distinct_a knowledge_n of_o the_o son_n and_o christ_n of_o god_n in_o nature_n and_o to_o enable_v you_o to_o distinguish_v between_o his_o be_v out_o of_o nature_n and_o his_o exstence_n in_o the_o property_n of_o nature_n this_o essential_a christ_n be_v one_o with_o the_o father_n it_o be_v who_o be_v the_o same_o yesterday_o to_o day_n and_o forever_o even_o before_o all_o time_n and_o before_o eternal_a nature_n and_o he_o be_v the_o co-creation_n with_o the_o father_n he_o be_v the_o word_n wisdom_n power_n the_o light_n life_n love_n the_o heart_n reighteousness_n purity_n brigtness_n excellency_n and_o glory_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o father_n for_o we_o must_v not_o conceive_v of_o he_o as_o a_o distinct_a person_n from_o the_o father_n because_o that_o will_v destroy_v the_o high_a unity_n and_o simplicity_n of_o divine_a nature_n which_o admit_v of_o no_o composition_n or_o division_n nor_o on_o the_o other_o side_n must_v we_o conceive_v the_o son_n of_o god_n to_o be_v only_o a_o distinct_a denomination_n for_o we_o see_v that_o in_o the_o still_a eternity_n there_o be_v a_o distinct_a

and_o the_o holy_a spirit_n in_o the_o stream_n or_o emanation_n which_o issue_v from_o both_o but_o you_o will_v say_v be_v then_o this_o christ_n the_o son_n of_o god_n the_o redeemer_n saviour_n justifier_n and_o reconciler_n of_o mankind_n i_o answer_v that_o to_o speak_v proper_o the_o son_n of_o god_n as_o he_o exist_v out_o of_o and_o before_o eternal_a nature_n be_v not_o a_o redeemer_n saviour_n etc._n etc._n and_o that_o because_o in_o this_o state_n he_o have_v no_o relation_n to_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o and_o therefore_o as_o long_o as_o there_o be_v nothing_o for_o to_o be_v redeem_v or_o save_v he_o can_v not_o proper_o be_v call_v a_o redeemer_n or_o saviour_n but_o you_o will_v say_v this_o essential_a christ_n the_o eternal_a son_n of_o the_o father_n be_v not_o the_o christian_n be_v christ_n in_o who_o they_o trust_v for_o redemption_n salvation_n and_o glorification_n 1._o i_o grant_v that_o proper_o he_o be_v not_o first_o because_o the_o object_n of_o the_o ●aith_n of_o christian_n be_v a_o god-man_n a_o christ_n clothe_v with_o humanity_n in_o who_o two_o nature_n pure_a deity_n and_o pure_a humanity_n be_v hypostatical_o unite_v so_o that_o

last_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n of_o eternity_n discover●_n god_n external_n form_n or_o figure_n we_o have_v before_o speak_v of_o god_n internal_a form_n or_o image_n and_o declare_v that_o it_o i●_n nothing_o else_o but_o his_o essential_a holiness_n i_o know_v it_o wi●●_n seem_v strange_a that_o i_o speak_v here_o of_o god_n figure_n sinc●_n the_o scripture_n forbid_v we_o to_o make_v any_o figure_n or_o likeness_n of_o god_n but_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v that_o though_o god_n forbid_v we_o to_o frame_n any_o likeness_n of_o himself_o who_o be_v th●_n spirit_n of_o eternity_n in_o resemblance_n of_o any_o creature_n whatsoever_o yet_o can_v this_o debarr_n the_o holy_a trinity_n from_o represent_v themselves_o according_a to_o the_o pleasure_n of_o their_o own_o will_n who_o be_v above_o they_o to_o control_v they_o or_o who_o be_v their_o councelor_n to_o advise_v they_o or_o who_o dare_v say_v to_o they_o why_o do_v you_o thus_o represent_v yourselves_o for_o as_o have_v be_v say_v before_o at_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n the_o father_n appear_v in_o the_o figure_n of_o the_o sight_n or_o black_a of_o a_o eye_n which_o yet_o be_v no_o organical_a eye_n the_o son_n appear_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o heart_n in_o the_o midst_n of_o which_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n be_v centre_v and_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v represent_v in_o the_o likeness_n of_o a_o outgoing_a breath_n wind_n or_o air_n which_o proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n through_o the_o heart_n and_o be_v in_o its_o own_o essential_o a_o active_a power_n which_o effect_n whatsoever_o the_o eye_n or_o heart_n will_v have_v do_v now_o the_o triune_n deity_n bring_v itself_o into_o these_o visible_a figure_n for_o their_o own_o manifestation_n that_o we_o may_v thereby_o learn_v how_o the_o father_n son_n and_o spirit_n be_v in_o one_o another_o eternal_o and_o yet_o notwithstanding_o this_o their_o unity_n they_o be_v distinguish_v by_o those_o three_o figure_n of_o eye_n heart_n and_o outgoing_a breath_n which_o be_v distinguishable_a one_o from_o the_o other_o so_o that_o here_o this_o great_a mystery_n of_o the_o unity_n and_o distinction_n of_o the_o trinity_n be_v full_o discover_v and_o make_v out_o to_o the_o eye_n of_o the_o mind_n for_o though_o the_o eye_n heart_n and_o outgoing_a breath_n do_v appear_v in_o one_o another_o yet_o they_o appear_v with_o distinction_n so_o as_o the_o eye_n be_v distinguishable_a from_o the_o heart_n and_o the_o heart_n from_o the_o outgoing_a breath_n but_o before_o i_o leave_v this_o point_n i_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o give_v you_o some_o account_n concern_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o forementioned_a figure_n in_o these_o follow_a particular_n in_o the_o first_o place_n i_o say_v that_o those_o image_n and_o figure_n which_o the_o open_n of_o the_o eye_n manifest_v be_v not_o shadow_n and_o empty_a representation_n but_o real_a and_o substantial_a one_o they_o be_v not_o only_a figure_n of_o heavenly_a thing_n but_o the_o heavenly_a thing_n themselves_o in_o the_o second_o place_n i_o say_v that_o these_o figure_n be_v live_v and_o spiritful_a representation_n not_o dead_a image_n for_o the_o fullness_n of_o the_o live_a god_n fill_v they_o all_o with_o life_n and_o spirit_n and_o power_n in_o the_o three_o and_o last_o place_n these_o figure_n be_v unchangeable_a and_o that_o because_o they_o be_v essential_a to_o the_o holy_a trinity_n so_o the_o eye_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o father_n the_o flame_a heart_n of_o love_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o son_n and_o the_o outflowing_a breath_n of_o power_n be_v essential_a to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n for_o though_o in_o eternal_a nature_n in_o the_o darkness_n the_o eye_n of_o the_o father_n appear_v dark_a wrathful_a and_o terrible_a and_o contrary_a in_o the_o light_n shine_v pleasant_a and_o full_a of_o love_n yet_o the_o eye_n be_v not_o change_v by_o th●se_a variation_n but_o remain_v still_o the_o unchangeable_a essential_a eye_n of_o the_o father_n though_o diversify_v by_o the_o light_n and_o darkness_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o unchangeable_a image_n of_o the_o father_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o eternity_n be_v the_o sight_n o●_n black_a of_o a_o eye_n into_o which_o likeness_n he_o have_v be_v please_v to_o contract_v himself_o for_o the_o manifestation_n of_o himself_o for_o though_o we_o as_o creature_n be_v command_v to_o make_v no_o representation_n or_o image_n of_o the_o trinity_n yet_o this_o do_v not_o hinder_v but_o they_o may_v bring_v forth_o a_o divine_a imag●_n and_o representation_n of_o themselves_o what_o have_v be_v say_v concern_v the_o eye_n may_v be_v also_o say_v concern_v the_o heart_n viz._n that_o it_o be_v the_o unchangeable_a essential_a and_o substantial_a image_n of_o the_o son_n for_o he_o manifest_v himself_o to_o angel_n and_o saint_n in_o this_o figure_n of_o a_o central_a heart_n all_o flame_a with_o love_n otherwise_o this_o hand_n can_v not_o have_v write_v of_o it_o and_o the_o outflowing_a breathe_n or_o air_n proceed_v from_o the_o eye_n and_o heart_n be_v the_o immutable_a and_o essential_a image_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n thus_o we_o see_v that_o the_o eye_n by_o its_o open_n of_o itself_o do_v clear_o discover_v to_o we_o that_o the_o one_o only_a true_a god_n who_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o eternity_n have_v bring_v forth_o himself_o into_o a_o beginning_n and_o end_n into_o matter_n and_o form_n into_o corporeity_n and_o figure_n in_o the_o sense_n as_o have_v be_v before_o express_v else_o it_o may_v seem_v harsh_a to_o common_a philosopher_n who_o without_o the_o eternal_a globe_n be_v without_o any_o of_o these_o even_o a_o unmeasureable_a incomprehensible_a unity_n concern_v which_o we_o can_v only_o say_v that_o it_o be_v what_o it_o be_v for_o what_o it_o be_v none_o can_v tell_v but_o itself_o and_o so_o i_o proceed_v from_o the_o second_o place_n of_o purity_n in_o the_o globe_n of_o

lead_v to_o ●he_n second_o and_o the_o second_o to_o the_o three_o concern_v the_o most_o holy_a place_n i_o shall_v reduce_v all_o that_o i_o have_v to_o say_v concern_v the_o most_o holy_a place_n to_o these_o four_o particular_n first_o i_o shall_v give_v you_o the_o several_a name_n which_o be_v give_v to_o it_o by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n second_o i_o shall_v speak_v of_o the_o nature_n

of_o its_o formation_n 1._o as_o to_o the_o first_o of_o these_o viz._n the_o name_n and_o title_n which_o be_v express_o give_v to_o this_o three_o court_n by_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n they_o be_v

that_o this_o all_o fill_a power_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v call_v the_o temple_n and_o tabernacle-body_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n because_o as_o the_o father_n dwell_v in_o the_o son_n and_o
