The Son is the second person of the glorious Trinity, and the only begotten Son of his Father, not by Grace, but by Nature: having his bbeing of the Father alone, and the whole being of his Father, by an eternal and incomprehensible generation: and with the Father, sendeth ⟨p. 12⟩forth the Holy Ghost. In respect of his absolute Essence, he is of himself, but in respect of his Person, he is by an eternal generation of his Father. For the Essence doth not beget an Essence, but the cperson of the Father begetteth the Person of the Son, and so he is God of God, and hath from his Father the beginning of his Person and Order, but not of Essence and time.
