1. The Properties of the Sacred Persons are preserved entire: the same Title is appropriated to both Natures in our Redeemer. His state on Earth corresponds with his state in Heaven. He is the only Son from Eternity, and the first-born in time: and the Honour due to the eternal and divine, and to the temporal but supernatural Sonship, is attributed to Him.

2. To unite the glorious Titles of Creator and Redeemer in the same Person.1 The Father made the world by the Son. By this title he had an original propriety in Man, which could not be extinguished: Though we had forfeited our Right in Him, He did not lose his Right in us. Our contract with Satan could not nullify it. Now 'twas consonant that the Son should be employed to recover his own, that the Creator in the beginning should be the Redeemer in the fullness of time.
