Sometimes the Son only is spoken of as to this purpose. 1 §. 6 Cor: ch: 1. v. 9. God is faithful by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord. And Revel. ch. 3. v. 20.

Sometimes the Spirit alone is mentioned, 2 Cor. ch. 13. v. 14: The Grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the Love of God, and the Communion of the Holy Ghost be with you all. This distinct Communion then of the Saints with the Father, Son, and Spirit, is very plain in the Scripture; but yet, it may admit of farther Demonstration: Only this caution I must lay in before hand. Whatever is affirmed in the pursuit of this truth, it is done with Relation to the Explanation ensuing in the beginning of the next Chapter.
