(2) Because, in that Epistle written to Thyatira, there are three distinctly named, first, the Father and the Son, in these words, these things saith the Son of God. Next, there is named in the last verse of that second chapter, the Spirit, he that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the Churches. (3) Because, in the beginning of that Epistle to the Church of Sardis, they are all three put together, these things saith He, (to wit, the Son) that hath the seven Spirits of GOD. Here, GOD, that is the Father, is distinctly considered, as another Person. The seven spirits, are the holy Ghost. (4) Because, these three Persons are most fully and clearly distinguished in the fifth chapter. First, the Father sitting on the Throne. Secondly, the Lamb, or the Son of GOD: And thirdly, the seven Spirits, or the holy Ghost, so called from the pouring out of his Gifts upon the Churches, in that aboundant manner, as if he were seven Spirits, or a sevenfold Spirit. It is evident also, that the Father, Son, and Spirit are really distinct from one another, and are three Persons. They are indeed in respect of their Essence, which is indivisibly communicable to them, One and the same GOD; but considered Personally, they differ really, for the Father is not the Son, neither is he, that sits upon the Throne, the Lamb. Neither the Father, nor the Spirit were incarnate, but the Son, who died, and was buried, which can be said of none, but of a Person. It cannot be said that the Father died, or that the Spirit died. Next, is not the holy Ghost the spirit of GOD, as the Son is the Son of GOD? And if that, suppose, a real distinct personality, this must do it also. Now if the Father be God, and the Son be God, and the Spirit God also, who have one, and the same divine nature, and essence indivisibly communicated to them; and so, if there be but one God, and yet these three really distinct, then they must be distinct persons, in respect of their Personal properties, seing they are Persons, and distinct. The Son, (as was said) is called the express Image of the Fathers Person, which evidently shews, that the Father, considered as distinct from the Son, is a Person, and subsists. If then, thus it be, must not the Son, as distinct from the Father, and so lively and expresly representing his person, be a person also, having this from the Father? The same must be true likewise, of the holy Ghost, who is GOD equal with both, yet different from both; for he who proceedeth from the Father, and from the Son, must differ from the Father, and from the Son; as he who is begotten, must be distinct from him that begat him.
