But secondly, God in the second person §2hath done those things that make him our Lord, more than the Father, or holy Ghost: For he in the second person hath taken our nature, and died and rose again for us, and hath conquered all our enemies. He hath in the second person made us his Spouse, his Members, and in all degrees of nearness to him. And because God in the second person hath done all, therefore in the second person he is more termed Lord, than God the Father, or the holy Ghost. And therefore Acts 2. 36. God the father hath made him Lord and Christ.
