CONCERNING THE TRINITY. 3C3 persons. Moreover, thatHe saysone [neuter],has reference to the agreement,and to the identityof judgment, and to the loving associationitself,as reasonablythe Father and Son are one in agreement, in love,and in affection;and because He is of the Father, whatsoeverHe is,He is the Son ; the distinctionhowever remaining,thatHe is not the Father who isthe Son, becauseHe isnot the Son who isthe Father.
