A. You may as well ask, Why God is said to makec the World by his WORD, and by his SON: Tho the Persons are undivided in their works on the Creature, ⟨p. 99⟩yet Creation is eminently ascribed to the Father, Incarnation and Redemption to the Son, and Sanctification to the Holy Ghost. The Suns power of Motion, Light and Heat are inseparable: And yet it is the Light as such that with our Eye doth cause the same act of sight, as united to it. But the perfect Answer to this doubt is reserved for Heaven?

Q. 6. But how was he conceived by the Holy Ghost, the Second Person by the third, when it is only the Second that was incarnate?
A. The Holy Ghost is not said to operate on the Second Person in the Trinity, or the Godhead, for Christs Conception; but on the Virgins Body, and by miraculous causing a humane Soul and Body, and their union with the Eternal Word. Gods perfecting Operations are usually ascribed to the Holy Ghost: But the Father and Son, are still supposed Operating by the Holy Spirit.
