The Father is said to do this and that by the Son for these reasons:
The Father is said to do this and that by the Sonne for these reasons:
1. To give proof of the distinction of Persons. 2. To •et out the order of the Persons: the Father first, the Son second. 3. To declare their manner of working: the Father by the Son, and the Son from the Father, Gen. 19. 24. 4. To show the consent of the distinct Persons Father and Sonne. 5. To demonstrate the identity of the essence of Father and Son; that both are one divine nature and essence; in that the same divine work is attributed to both. This consequence is inferred upon a like ground, Joh. 5. 17, 18.

As the Father is here said to make the worlds by his Son; so of God in reference to the Son indefinitely it is said, By whom are all things, Chap. 2. v. 10.
