form, i.e. in the essential form of God, as be∣ing equal with God, as it follows. The God∣head it self is independent, or it is not God∣head, or it is not infinite. He is Jehovah: which implys that his being is neither from, nor for, nor in, nor by any other, but is most absolute and independent. I am the first, and I am the last, and beside me there is no God, Isa. 44.6. c. 45.21, 22.
(4) Created persons are of different natures; numerically different, though not specifically. True it is, that Peter, Paul, Philip, are of the same specifical nature; i.e. they are all of them men; but they are not of the same singular or numerical nature; i.e. they are not the same man. But these increated persons are of the same nature, not only of the same specifical, but of the same singular nature; they are the same God. That as you may safely say, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Ghost: So you must think and say of them, that they are one and the same God, one and but one. These three are one, 1 Joh, 5.7. Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉 is one Lord. You must not then think of these three uncreated persons, as you would of those three created, as if these were distinct Gods, as those are distinct men.
