The Trinity have a wondrous complacency in looking upon mankind: now in Christ, God loves us, as redeemed by Christ, Christ loves us as electe• by the Father, and given by the Fathers choice, to him to redeem; the Holy Ghost hath a special liking to us, as seeing the love of the Father in choosing us, and of the Son in redeeming us. And surely if we would see likewise, those sweet interviews, of God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, it should be our main delight too, to see how God hath chosen us, and given us to Christ to save; how Christ hath redeemed us, from this very respect, that the Father hath chosen us, and given us to him, as it is in John 17.1 Thine th•y were, thou gavest them me, and how the Holy Ghost is a spirit of communion, the Communion of the Holy Ghost, that hath communion with the Father, and the Son, and issue•, and proceeds from them both; how he witnesseth this love to our souls, and applies it to us; the Holy Ghost applies all, the ⟨p. 286⟩Father decreed and ordained all, the Son works and dispenseth all; the consideration of the point is wondrous comfortable.
