Q. Are these three Persons three distinct Gods?
A. No, For they are that one pure Essence, and therefore but one God. Joh. 1. 1. Rom. 9. 5. 1 Cor. 6. 16. 1 Cor. 2. 10.
A. No, For they are that one pure Essence, and therefore but one God. Ioh. 1. 1. Rom. 9. 5. 1 Cor. 6. 16. 1 Cor. 2. 10.
Q. If every Person be God, how can they be distinct. Persons, and not distinct Gods?
A. Yes, Because one and the same thing may have many Relative properties, and respects of being, which in the Godhead makes distinct Persons. As one and the same man, may be a Father in one respect, a Master in another respect, and a Scholar in another respect.
