Quest. 1. First, What this Jesus is.
He is God, and had Personal Being from before all Worlds; therefore not such an one as took being when he was formed in the World; He is God's natural Son. The Eternal Son of his Begetting, and Love. God sent forth his Son; he was, and was his Son, before he was Revealed. What is his Name, and what is his Sons Name, if thou canst tell? Prov. 30. 4. Ezek. 21. 10. He hath an Eternal Generation, such as none can declare: not Man, not Angel, Isa. 53. 8. He was the delight of his Father before he had made either Mountain or Hill.

It is he with whom the Father consulted when he was about to make Man; when he intended to overthrow Babel, and when he sent Isaiah to harden the Hearts of Israel, Pro. 8. 26. Joh. 1. 3. Heb. 1. 2, 3. Col. 1. 17. Gen. 1. 26
