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

It is so also in Reference unto the Son: Joh: chap: 14. v: 1. §. 10 You believe in God (saith Christ) believe also in me. Believe also, act Faith distinctly on me; Faith Divine, supernatural, that Faith whereby you believe in God, that is the Father. There is a believing of Christ, viz. that he is the Son of God, the Saviour of the world. This is that whose neglect our Saviour so threatened unto the Pharisees: John 8. 24. If you believe not that I am He, you shall dye in your sins. In this sense Faith is not immediately fixed on the Son, being only an owning of him, that is, the Christ to be the Son, by closing with the Testimony of the Father concerning him. But there is also a Believing on him, called believing on the name of the Son of God. 1 John chap. 5. v. 13. So also John chap. 9. v. 36. yea the distinct affixing of Faith, affiance and confidence on the Lord Jesus Christ the Son of God, as the Son of God; is most frequently pressed. Joh. 3. 16. God (that is the Father) so loved the World that whosoever believeth on him (that is the Son) should not perish. The Son, who is given of the Father is believed on. He that believeth on him, is not condemned v. 18. He that believeth on the Son hath eternal life; v. 36. This is the work of God that ye believe on him, whom he hath sent, Joh. 6. 29. v. 40. 1 John 5. 10. The foundation of the whole is laid Joh. 5. 23. That all men should honour the Son, even as they honour the Father; he that honoureth not the Son, honoureth ⟨p. 11⟩not the Father which sent him. But of this honour and worship of the Sonne. I have treated at large elsewhere: and shall not in general insist upon it again. For Love, I shall only add that ¹solemn Apostolical benediction,
