True: Opera Trinitatis ad extra sunt in divisa: but so that each hath an eminency in his own work, though not as separated or a solitary principle or cause. The Father and Divine Vital Active Power, was eminently glorified in the Creation; The Son and Divine wisdom is eminently glorified in the making of the Remedying Medicine; And the ⟨p. 98⟩Divine Love and Spirit is eminently glorified in the operation of it, to the Health and Salvation of the Soul.

And all together will be glorified in our glorification.
