He is
to
be
looked
at, not
meerlysus
God
,
but
as
God
the
fecond
Perlon of
the Trinitÿ,and this
is
a
great wonder
in Chriltian
Religion,
for
it
was
little
known
before.
Wee
read
but
little
in the
Old Teilament
about the
Trinity
onely in ChritI
the Trinity
comes
to
bee known
;
when wee
are
in
ftreights
wee will
cry
to God
that
made
the
heavens
and
earth
to
bee
a
Saviour;
but
for
us
to-know
that
wee mutt
bee
Paved
by God in the Second
Perfon,that
is
the
character
and
ingraven form
of
his
Image, the
Son
of
God
,
and yet
fo the
Son
of God
as
hee
is
Co-eternal
with
his
Father
,
e-
qual
with
his
Father,
as
the
Scripture
fpeaks,
and
fo
God
the
Second
Perlon
in
Trinity
,
as
yet hee
is
of the
fame
Na-
ture that
his
Father
is
of, the fame
God,
and yet
the
Son
of
God; the
confideration
of
the
myftery
of
the
Trinity
,
that
appears
in Chrift,
is
a
great wonder
above reafon,
that
wee
may adore
it,
but
fe arch
into
it
wee
are
not
able.
And
then
the
fecond
