§. 54. Of the difference betwixt divine Generation and Predestination.
There are among other divine operations, three, which are in themselves very remarkable, yet not to be compared to the divine generation of the Son of God; Those three are these, Predestination, Creation, Regeneration: A due consideration of the difference betwixt them and this, will much illustrate this.

1. The generation of the Son of God doth differ from Predestination (which1 is an internal and eternal work of God) in that it is a Personal Act, proper to the Father alone, and that only in relation to the Son: But Predestination is an essential act (if I may so use this word) common to all the Persons, Father, Son, holy Ghost; and that in relation to Angels and men.
