3. The personal property of the Holy Ghost is to proceed from the Father and the Son, Joh. 15. 26. And when the comforter is come, whom I will send from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
3. The personal property of the Holy Ghost is to proceed from the Father and the Son, Ioh. 15. 26. And when the comforter is come, whom I will send from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth from the Father, he shall testify of me.
I shall conclude the proof of the distinction of the persons of the Father, the Son and Holy Ghost, in the unity of the Divine Essence, with the two arguments made mention of before in the disputation; which because no answer was given unto, they remain in force.
The first argument is this against W. P's plain assertion, that there were not three distinct persons in the Godhead, with three distinct incommunicable properties. If the Father be another from the Son, and the Son another from the Father, and the Holy Ghost another from each, and all three be God; and the incommunicable property of the Father is to beget the Son, the incommunicable property of the Son to be begotten of the Father, and the incommunicable property of the Holy Ghost to proceed from the Father and the Son; then there are three distinct persons in the Godhead, with three distinct incommunicable properties: But the Father is another, &c. Therefore there are three distinct persons in the Godhead, with three distinct incommunicable properties.
