The Persons of the God-head are three, Matth. 3. 16. 17.
The Father is a Person without beginning, from all Eternity begetting the Son, Joh. 1. 3. 10.
In the generation of the Son we must note these properties.
1. That he that begetteth, and he that is begotten are together, and not one before another in time.
2. He that begetteth, doth communicate with him that is begotten, not some one part of his essence, but his whole essence, so that this Communion is not a Communion, but a Union.
