It is not said in the name of God, but in the name of the Father, Son, and holy Ghost, to teach us the right way to know and to acknowledge the true God. This Knowledge stands in §20six points, all here expressed. The first is, that there is one God, and no more. For though there be three that are named, yet there is but one name, that is, one in authority, will, and worship of all three. And elsewhere, men are said to be baptized into the name of the Lord. Act. 10. 48. The second is, that this §25one true God, is the Father, Son, and holy Ghost. A mystery unsearchable. The third, that these three are really distinct, so as the Father is first in order, the Son the second, and the holy Ghost, not the first or second, but the third. The fourth is, that they are all one in operation, Joh. 5. 19. and specially in §30the act of reconciliation, or covenant making. For the father sends the son to be our Redeemer: the son works in his own person, the work of redemption: and the holy Ghost applies the same by his efficacy. The fifth is, that they are all one in worship: for the Father, Son, and holy Ghost, are jointly §35to be worshipped together, and God in them. The last is, that we are to know God, not as he is in himself, but as he hath revealed himself unto us in the covenant of Grace: and therefore we must acknowledge the father to be our father, the Son to be our Redeemer, the holy Ghost to be our comforter; and ⟨p. 249⟩seek to grow in the knowledge and experience of this.
