Therefore, when we read in sacred history what God did from time to time towards his church and people, and what he said to them, and how he revealed himself to them, we are to understand it especially of the second person of the Trinity. When we read of God's appearing after the fall, from time to time, in some visible form or outward symbol of his presence, we are ordinarily, if not universally, to understand it especially of the second person of the Trinity; which may be argued from John i.18. "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him." He is therefore called "the image of the invisible God," Col. i.15.; intimating, that though God the Father be invisible, yet Christ is his image or […] presentation, by which he is seen, or by which the church of God hath often had a representation of him, that is not invisible▪ and in particular that Christ has after appeared in an human form.
