Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

1. Grace of Personal Presence and Comeliness. ^bSo we say a Graceful and comely person, either from himself or his ornaments. This in Christ (upon the matter) is the subject of near one half of the book of Canticles: it is also mentioned Psal. 45. v. 2. Thou art fairer then the Children of men; Grace is poured into thy lips. And unto this first head in respect of Christ, do I refer also that acceptation of Grace, which in respect of us, I fix in the third place. Those inconceivable Gifts and fruits of the Spirit which were bestowed on him, and brought forth in him, concur to his Personal Excellency, as will afterward appear.
