This testimony (Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee,) is alleged to prove that Christ excelleth the most excellent creatures: and it showeth, that some high transcendent matter, which can no way be applied to any mere creature, is spoken of Christ: and that is, to be a Son eternally begotten of God the Father.
THis testimony (Thou art my Sonne, this day have I begotten thee,) is alledged to prove that Christ excelleth the most excellent creatures: and it sheweth, that some high transcendent matter, which can no way be applied to any meer creature, is spoken of Christ: and that is, to be a Sonne eternally begotten of God the Father.
To beget, in usual signification, is out of ones own essence to produce another like1 being. Thus Adam is said to beget a son in his own likeness, Gen. 5. 3. In allusion hereunto, these words, beget, begotten, are applied to the first and second Persons of the sacred Trinity, in a mutual relation of one to the other; and that for teaching sake: to make us by resemblances (such as we are well acquainted withal) somewhat according to our capacity, to understand of that mystery, which is in it self unutterable, unconceivable and incomprehensible.
