4. That Jesus Christ in his divine Nature, as he was the Eternal Word and Wisdom of the Fathers, not by a voluntary communication, but eternal generation had an omniscience of the whole nature and will of God, as the Father himself hath, because the same with that of the Father; their will and wisdom being the same. This is the blessed [Greek or Hebrew], or in-being of each Person, the one in the other, by virtue of their oneness in the same nature: Thus, as God, he had absolute omniscience. Moreover the mystery of the Gospel, the especial Counsel and Covenant of it concerning the Redemption of the Elect in his blood, and the Worship of God by his Redeemed ones, being transacted between Father and Son from all eternity, was known unto him as the Son; by virtue of his own personal transactions with the Father in the eternal Counsel and Covenant of it. See what we have elsewhere delivered concerning that Covenant.
