XV. Speak of God with Paul, who was caught
up to the third Heaven, 2 Cor. xii. 2. and who sometimes
counts up the Three Persons, and that in varied order, not keeping the
same order, but reckoning one and the same Person now first, now
second, now third; and for what purpose? Why, to shew the
equality of the Nature. And sometimes he mentions Three,
sometimes Two or One, became That which is not mentioned is
included. And sometimes he attributes the operation of God to the
Spirit, as in no respect different from Him, and sometimes instead of
the Spirit he brings in Christ; and at times he separates the Persons
saying, “One God, of whom are all things, and we in Him; and one
Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by
Him;” 1 Cor. viii. 6. at other times he
brings together the one Godhead, “For of Him and through Him and
in Him are all things;” Rom. xi. 36. that is, through
the Holy Ghost, as is shown by many places in Scripture. To Him
be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
