That the Saints have Communion with God, and 1what communion in general is, was declared in the first chapter. The manner how this communion is carried on, and the matter wherein it doth consist, comes next under consideration. For the first, in respect of the distinct persons of the Godhead, with whom they have this fellowship, it is either distinct and peculiar, or else, obtained and exercised jointly and in common. That the Saints have distinct communion with the Father, and the Son, and the Holy Spirit, (that is, distinctly with the Father, and distinctly with the Son, and distinctly with the Holy Spirit) and in what, the the peculiar Appropriation of this distinct communion unto the several persons, doth consist, must in the first place be made manifest.
