§. 56. Of the difference betwixt divine Generation and Regeneration.
There are other differences then those mentioned before, betwixt the divine Generation of the Son of God, and the spiritual Regeneration of Sons of men.
THere are other differences then those mentioned before, betwixt the divine Generation of the Son of God, and the spirituall Regeneration of Sonnes of men.
1. There is a time for Regeneration; For the time was when they that are Regenerate1 were no Children of God, Eph. 2. 12. And many that yet are not born again shall be regenerate, Joh. 10. 16. & 17. 20. But in divine Generation there never was a time wherein the Son of God was no Son. 2. Regeneration presupposeth a former birth and being. The very word (which signifieth to be born again, Joh. 3. 3.) importeth as much: But no such matter may be imagined of the divine, eternal Generation. 3.
