Vnderstanding of controversies. Cleering of some cases of conscience. By John Wollebius. Doctor of Divinity, and ordinary professor in the University of Basil. Now at last faithfully translated into English, and in some obscure places cleared and enlarged, by Alexander Ross.

English.	Wolleb, Johannes, 1586-1629.; Vaughan, Robert, engraver.; Ross, Alexander, 1591-1654.	1650 (1650)	Wing W3254; Thomason E1264_1; ESTC R204089	204,921	375

body infinite and such like can no ways be ascribed to God for these are actions not of power but of impotency 5. The power of God is altogether irresistible CHAP. II. Concerning the Persons of the Deity THE Persons of the Deity are subsistences each of which hath the whole essence of God differing notwithstanding in their incommunicable properties The RULES I. The words of Person Trinity or 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is same Essence although they be not found in Scripture in the same syllables yet they are consonant to the Scripture and are profitably used by the Church II. The word Hypostasis or Hyphistamenon that is Subsistence are of a larger extent then the word Person For Hypostasis or Hyphistamenon is any individual substance but the word Person signifieth an individual substance compleat rational and differing by incommunicable properties from another yet the Apostle Heb. 13. useth the word Hypostasis for Person by the figure called Metalepsis III. The Person in the Deity is neither the * A. R. * Though this name Person be common to all the three yet it is not predicated as genus or species because the Persons of the Trinity differ not numerically much less essentially as they must of which genus and species are predicated species of God or of the Deity nor a part thereof nor another thing besides the Deity nor a bare relation nor the manner only of subsisting but the very essence of God with a certain manner of subsisting IV. Neither yet is the Person a thing compounded of entity and non-entity neither are the essence of God and the manner of subsisting two different things but a thing or entity and the manner of the entity The Persons of the Deity are three Father Son and Holy Ghost The Father is the first Person of the Deity existing from himself begetting the Son from eternity and with him producing the Holy Ghost The Son is the second Person begotten of the Father from eternity with the Father producing the Holy Ghost The Holy Ghost is the third Person of the Deity proceeding of the Father and the Son from eternity The RULES I. The Trinity is not the number * A. R. The number numbring may be understood essentially God or the Soul or an Angel for so Plato calls the soul a number or Number numbring may be taken accidentally for those discrete quantities which we call numbers as two three four and in this sense the Trinity is not the number numbring because this is an accident numbring but the number numbred II. The Doctrine of the Trinity is not a bare tradition of the Church but a Doctrine expressed in Holy Writ This is against the Papists who to evince the insufficiency of Scripture are not afraid to affirm the contrary III. Although in the Old Testament the Doctrine of the Holy Trinity was somewhat obscure yet it was not altogether unknown Gen. 1.1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth and ver 2. The Spirit of God moved upon the waters and ver 16. Let us make man Psal 33.6 By the word of the Lord the heavens were made and by the breath of his mouth all the hoast thereof 2 Sam. 2.32 The Spirit of the Lord spake in me and his word was in my tongue Esay 6.3 Holy holy holy Lord of hosts Esay 63.9 The Angel of his countenance to wit of God the Father saved them and ver 10. They rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit Which testimonies though the obstinate Jews go about to elude yet they will content sober Christian mindes IV. But there are clearer Testimonies in the New-Testament Mat. 3.16 And the heavens were opened to him to wit to Christ and he saw the holy Ghost descending and coming upon him and ver 17. And behold a voice came from heaven saying This is my beloved Son in whom I am well pleased Mat. 28.19 Baptise them in the name of the Father Son and Holy Ghost Joh. 14.16 I will ask the Father and he will send you another Comforter and 15.26 When the Comforter shall come whom I will send to you from the Father 2 Cor. 13.33 The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all 1 Joh. 5.7 There are three which bear witness in heaven the Father the Word and the Holy Spirit V.

But for the Testimonies of the New-Testament they are very clear Joh. 1.1 And the Word was God and 17.3 This is life eternal to know thee the onely true God and whom thou hast sent Jesus Christ Joh. 20.31 But these things are written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ the Son of God Act. 20.28 God redeemed the Church with his own blood Rom. 9.5 God blessed for ever Tit. 2.3 The mighty God Such phrases are frequent in the Revelation 2.
