1 JOHN 5.7. For there are three that bear record in Heaven, the Father, the Word, and the holy Ghost: and these three are one.
Christ the Object of our Faith is set out, First, By the manner of his coming, v. 6. He came by water and blood. Secondly, By the testimony given him of his coming, which is double, three in Heaven, and three on Earth. In this Verse the heavenly witnesses are set forth, 1. By the number, three. 2. By their place, in Heaven. 3. By their work, they bear witness. 4. By their names, the Father, the Son, and the holy Spirit. 5. By the unity, these three are one.
