1. In this Divine, and Infinite Being, or Unity of the Godhead, there are three Persons, or Subsistences,a the Father,b the Word, or Son,c and the Holy Spirit,d of one Substance,e Power,f Eternity,g and Will;h each having the whole Divine Essence, yet the Essence undivided.i The Father is of none, neither Begotten nor Proceeding; the Son is eternally Begotten of the Father; the Holy Ghost is of the Father, and the Son, proceeding.j All Infinite, without Beginning, therefore but one God, who is Indivisible, and not to be divided in Nature, or Being, but distinguished by several Properties and Personal Relations; and we worship and adore a Trinity in Unity, and a Unity in Trinity, three Persons, and but one God; which Doctrine of the Trinity, is the foundation of all our Communion with God,k and comfortable Dependance on him.
