Q. If they work the same thing together, How is it that some works are attributed to God the Father, as Creation; some to the Son, as Redemption; some to the holy Spirit, as application?
A. This is not because the same work is not common to all the three Persons, but because that work is principally attributed in Scripture to that person whose distinct manner of working appears chiefly in the work.
Q. What is God the Fathers distinct manner of working?
A. His working is from himself by the Son, and to the holy Ghost, Psal. 33. 6. Joh. 1. 3, and hence the beginning, and so the Creation of all things is attributed to him.
