2. What it is to be united in person.
Those things are said to be united in person, which are one person; that is, which although they differ in natural properties, yet exist in one and the same individual subsistence: or have altogether the same subsistence. So the soul and body of man are united and concur unto one person, because they being united, do make one person, or one subsistent, incommunicable, not sustained in another, or of another. The Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost, are not united in person, or personal properties: because they have these, not the same, but distinct. By this which hath been said, it is manifest, that the Union in nature and natural perfections, is an equality of properties and nature; but the personal union is, when two unlike natures are coupled, so that each retaineth his natural properties and operations whole and distinct, but yet have both one and the same subsistence wholly: or, it is the joining of two natures different in properties, to constitute the substance of one individual, or person; that is, such a connection or knitting of them together, as they are one individual, subsisting by it self, or the substance of one individual.
