CHAP. 5. Concerning the persons of the Godhead.
The persons are they, which subsisting in one Godhead, are distinguished by incommunicable properties. 1. Joh. 5.7. There are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost, and these three are one. Gen. 19.24. Then Jehovah reigned upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah, brimstone, and fire from Jehovah in heaven. Joh. 1.1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and that Word was God.
THe persons are they, which subsisting in one Godhead, are distinguished by incommunicable properties. 1. Ioh. 5.7. There are three that beare record in heauen, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost, and these three are one. Gen. 19.24. Then Iehouah raigned vpon Sodom and vpon Gomorrah, brimstone, and fire from Iehouah in heauen. Ioh. 1.1. In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and that Word was God.
They therefore are coequal, and are distinguished not by degree, but by order.
