Of the first — in which respect he is the
Spirit of the Father and the Son, proceeding from both eternally, so
receiving his substance and personality — I speak not: it is a business of
another nature than that I have now in hand. Therein, indeed, lies the
first and most remote foundation of all our distinct communion with him and
our worship of him; but because abiding in the naked consideration hereof,
we can make no other progress than the bare acquiescence of faith
in the mystery revealed, with the performance of that which is due to the
person solely on the account of his participation of the essence, I shall
not at present dwell upon it.
