Our English makes a little difference in translating the Hebrew, and the Greek; For that they turn the Hebrew, I will be his Father, and he shall be my Son: which1 is in effect the same, His Father and a Father to him, His Son and a Son to him, are all one in sense. The two original Languages do directly answer one another.

In the repetition of this promise, (1 Chron. 32. 10.) the order is inverted; for it is thus set down, He shall be my Son, and I will be his Father: This inversion of words no whit at all altereth the sense, but affordeth unto us this observable Instruction, that The Father was not before the Son, nor the Son before the Father, nor in time, nor in order, Both coeternal, both equal; The Glory equal, 1the Majesty coeternal, as it is in Athanasius his Creed: Therefore in one place the Father is first set down, in another the Son; For the Son was always with2 the Father and always in the Father; With the Father, by an inseparable distinction of the eternal Trinity; In the Father, by a divine unity of nature. This is further manifest by a distinct expression of both the relatives; For he contents not himself to say, I will be a father to him, but he adds, He shall be a Son to me, to show, that the Father never was without the Sonne.
