6. THIS therefore is herein, the glorious Order of divine Communications. From the infinite eternal Spring of Widsom, Grace, Goodness, and Love in the Father, all the Effects whereof unto his end were treasured up in the Person and Mediation of the Son; the holy Spirit unto whom the actual Application of them is committed, communicates Life, Light, Power, Grace and Mercy unto all that are designed parts of the New Creation. Hereon doth God glorify both the essential Properties of his Nature, his infinite Wisdom, Power, Goodness and Grace, as the only eternal Spring of all these things; and also his ineffable glorious Existence in three Persons, by the Order of the Communication of these things unto the Church, which are originally from his Nature.

In a View of the glorious Order of those divine Communications, we are in a steady Contemplation of the ineffable Glory of the Existence of the Nature of God in the Three distinct Persons of Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
