3. By his being said to give, when and what he bestows; §. 4 they speak with other tongues, as the spirit gave them utterance, Act. 2. 4. he gave them to them, that is freely; whatever ⟨p. 272⟩he bestows npō us, is of his gift. And hence it is to be observed that in the Economy of our Salvation, the acting of no one person doth prejudice the freedom and liberty of any other; so the Love of the Father in sending the Son is free, and his sending doth no ways prejudice the liberty and Love of the Son, but that he lays down his life freely also. So the Sati-faction and purchase made by the Son doth no way prejudice the freedom of the Fathers Grace in pardoning & accepting us thereupon: so the Father's and Son's sending of the Spirit doth not derogate from his freedom in his workings, but he gives freely what he gives. And the reason of this is, because the will of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost is essentially the same; so that in the acting of one there is the Counsel of all, and each freely therein.

And hence it is to be observed that in the Oeconomy of our Salvation, the acting of no one person doth prejudice the frreedome and liberty of any other; so the Love of the Father in sending the Sonne is free, and his sending doth no ways prejudice the liberty and Love of the Son, but that he lays down his life freely also. So the Sati-faction and purchase made by the Sonne doth no way prejudice the freedome of the Fathers Grace in pardoning & accepting us thereupon: so the Father's and Sonne's sending of the Spirit doth not derogate from his freedome in his workings, but he gives freely what he givts. And the reason of this is, because the will of the Father, Sonne, and Holy Ghost is essentially the same; so that in the acting of one there is the Counsell of all, and each freely therein.
