Now what a glory and comfort is this, that every one of the Divine persons hath a hand in every thing which concerns our salvation! As they do all of them consent unto it, and resolve upon it, so every one of them doth work towards it; We look upon that passage as of great weight, and stay, and comfort unto us, in Rom. 8. 28. All things (viz. here below in common contingencies) work together for good to them that love God! How much more is this for our support and comfort, that all the Trinity, that every person in the Trinity is working together for our salvation, that God the Father is working, and God the Son, and God the holy Ghost!

As they say about the Incarnation of Christ, that every one of the Persons in the Trinity had a hand in it, though the second person only was Incarnated (as three may weave a garment, which one of them only wears) thus may we say of our salvation, that every person of the Trinity acts, and works towards it, and will still so work, until they have come to the last work, until they have finished that work in our eternal glorification.
