1. In the Essential Inbeing of the Father and the Son. This our Saviour expresseth, Joh. 10.38. The Father is in me, and I in him; the same Essential Properties and Nature being in each of the persons, by virtue thereof their Persons also are said to be in each other. The Person of the Son is in the Person of the Father; not as such, not in or by its own personality, but by union of its Nature and Essential Properties, which are not alike, as the Persons are, but the same in the one and the other. And this Inbeing of the Father in the Son, and of the Son in him, our Saviour affirms to be manifested by the works that he wrought, being wrought by the power of the Father, yet as in him, and not as in the Father immediately. See to the same purpose chap. 14.10, 11. and chap. 17.21.

The Father being thus in the Son, and the Son in the Father, whereby all the glorious Properties of the one do shine forth in the other, the order and Economy of the blessed Trinity in Subsistence and Operation, requires that the manifestation and communication of the Father unto us, be through and by the Son. For as the Father is the Original and Fountain of the whole Trinity as to subsistence, so as to Operation he works not but by the Son, who having the Divine Nature communicated unto him by Eternal Generation, is to communicate the Effects of the Divine Power, Wisdom
