We shall open the Nature of it in three things. 1 The proper Ground from whence this In-being issues, and proceeds. 2 The ready way, by which the Nature of it, may rightly be apprehended. 3 How it may be attended in our Saviour, as God and Man.

To the First.
The proper and peculiar Ground, from whence this In-being proceeds, may be expressed in two Conclusions, thus:
1. This In-being of subsistence of the Father in the Son, & of the Son in the Father, is not firstly from the Essence, or Deity, considered according to it self, or in it self as some have conceived: As thus; Because the Deity, or Essence, which is in the Father, is in the Son, therefore the Father also is in the Son: for this is neither safe, nor sound, but a dangerous mistake; because by the same reason, it may be concluded; That the Son is in himself, or the Father is in the Father. For the same Essence, or Deity (being but one) which is in the Father, is in the Son also; and then the reason would follow on like manner, thus: Where the Deity, or Essence of the God-head, which appertains to the Son, is, there is the Son.
