The fifth question is, why the son is so called? Ans. Because ⟨p. 280⟩he was begotten of the father, by a perfect and eternal generation, not to be uttered of man, or conceived. And we must be warned, not to conceive it in any carnal or humane manner. For an earthly father is in time before his son, and the son after: but God the father and the son are coeternal, and not one before or after the other for time. An earthly father is §5forth of the son, and the son forth of the father: but God the father is in the son, and the son in the father. An earthly child is from his father by propagation, but the son is from the heavenly father not by propagation, but by communication of substance. Lastly the heavenly father begets §10the son by communication of his whole substance, and so doth no earthly father.
