The glory of the persons is distinct from the other, as the persons themselves are by their personal proprieties, as the Fathers glory is to beget the Son, the Sons glory is to be begotten of the Father, the holy Ghosts is to proceed from them both. Thus Heb. 1.3. Christ is called the brightness of the glory, and the engraven form of his Fathers person. Joh. 1.14. We saw the glory thereof as the glory of the only begotten Son of the Father. Both these are here to be understood; both which are incomprehensible, and therefore our care must be to walk by faith, whereby we may attain unto it, rather than more curiously to seek to comprehend the knowledge of it.
The glorie of the persons is distinct from the other, as the persons themselues are by their personall proprieties, as the Fathers glorie is to beget the Sonne, the Sonnes glory is to be begotten of the Father, the holy Ghosts is to proceed from them both. Thus Heb. 1.3. Christ is called the brightnes of the glorie, and the ingrauen forme of his Fathers person. Ioh. 1.14. We saw the glorie thereof as the glorie of the onely begotten Sonne of the Father. Both these are here to bee vnderstood; both which are incomprehensible, and therefore our care must be to walke by faith, whereby wee may attaine vnto it, rather than more curiously to seeke to comprehend the knowledge of it.
The second thing attributed to Christ is Majesty. Whereby we are to understand that highness & greatness of God and Christ, whereby he is in himself, in his works, and every way wonderful, Luk. 9.43. When Christ had wrought a famous miracle of casting out a Devil, it is said they were all amazed at the mighty power of God.
