A. It's dangerous laying too great a stress on words▪ that are either not in Scripture, or are applied to God as borrowed from similitude in Man: As the word PERSON signifieth the Eternal Word, the Second in the Trinity, Christ is but One Person: And though his humane Soul and Body assumed be Substances, they are not another Person, but another Nature united to his Eternal Person, yet no• as a Part of it, but by a Union which we have no proper Words to express. Christ hath two Natures, and but one Person. But if you take the word PERSON only for a Relation (as of a King, a Judge, &c.) so Christ as MEDIATOR is a PERSON distinct from the same Christ as the Eternal Second Person in the Trinity.o
