1By this, we have communion with the Father, Son, and Holy-Ghost: This incarnation of Christ, it brings us into fellowship with the blessed Trinity; and it teacheth us what conceits we should have of God, •o have loving thoughts of him. Whence is that, that we can call God, Father? From this, God manifest in the fl•sh; the second Person, to take away enmity, was manifest in the flesh. Hence it is, that I can call God, Father; that I can boldly go to God, that I can conceive of God as gracious; and lovely. And whence is it, that our persons are become lovely to God? From this, that God hath taken our nature upon him; our nature is become lovely to him, and his is sweet and fatherly to us.2
