In the Description wee will shew, First, how this relation of Father is taken commonly. Secondly, how properly in regard, of Christ. For so the word my, sheweth a kind of propriety and peculiarity.
It is taken commonly, 1. in reference to all creatures by virtue of creation. So God is called the Father of the Rain. Job 38.28. 2. In reference to Angels: Job 1.6. and that, first, in regard of the Image of God in which they were created and still remain. Secondly, in regard of that special love manifested to them, that God vouchsafeth them to be always in his presence. 3. In reference to men, besides the former respect of creation. First, in a civill respect, in regard of their Office whatsoever their Quality be. So Magistrates are called the Sons of God. Secondly, in a Spiritual respect; First, by virtue of Adoption God having taken them to be his Sons· Rom 8. Secondly, by ⟨p. 24⟩virtue of Regeneration, he having begotten us again to himself· Joh 1·12.13.
