§. 129 Of Christs Eternity.
THE Eternity of this Lord is further set out in this phrase, In the beginning; 1namely, in the beginning of time; so as that which was before that beginning, was without beginning, properly eternal. Thus is the eternity of God manifested in the very first word of the holy Bible, Gen. 1. 1. and the eternity also of the Son of God, Joh. 1. 1.

Pro. 8. 22, 23. &c.
