7. How the three persons of the God-head are distinguished.
Here we are first to observe and consider, §11What the Scripture attributeth as common to the whole three persons, Father, Son, and holy Ghost, which three are one God, and yet distinct in persons. §22What it ascribeth to each particular, as peculiar unto him, and how it distinguisheth and discerneth the persons. Common to the three persons are, 1. All the essential properties of God, all which we comprehend in the name of Deity: as eternity, infinity, omnipotency, wisdom, goodness, to have essence from himself, or to be God of himself: 2. All external actions and operations of the Divinity; that is, those effects which God exerciseth on his creatures, and in them, or by them; such as are, creation, preservation, the government of the world, the gathering together and tuition of his Church, &c.
