Though it be most true, that the persons of the Trinity be in their respective subsistences so different, that the Father neither is, nor can be the Son, nor the Son the Father: nor the holy Ghost either; yet it is as true, that every one of them is the same Deity, and had the same will in and for mans salvation: that some should be elected of God and find mercy, and have salvation: there was a mutual will and consent twixt the three persons in the Trinity. That Jesus Christ (the Son of God) should have these bestowed upon him, and he be charged to procure their salvation, by being incarnated, and by being humbled to the death, even to the death of the Cross; as to this also, there was a mutual will and consent in the Trinity; I will give and send you, saith the Father; Lo I come, I will give my self, saith the Son; and I will anoint and sanctify you for this, saith the Spirit; that the holy Ghost should be sent to open and apply the salvation of God unto the Elect of God the Father, and to the redeemed by Christ the Son, this also fell into their common will, and consent, and purpose, in respect whereof the holy Ghost is said to be sent and given from the Father and from the Son, Joh. 14. 26. The Comforter which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, &c. Joh. 15. 26. But when the Comforter is come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth which proceeds from the Father, he shall testify of me.
