THe Fathers begetting of the Son giveth evidence to the two great mysteries of our Christian Faith, which were implied under these two Metaphors, Brightness of his glory, and expresse image of his Person.
The two Mysteries are these.
1. The Son is of the same Essence with the Father. 2. The Son is a distinct Person from the Father.
For the first, To beget doth in general imply a communicating of his essence, that begetteth to him that is begotten. But the special begetting here intended declareth a communicating of the whole essence. Hence by undeniable consequence it followeth, that the begotten Son of God is of the same essence with the Father.
