Orat. to the Convent of Saints of the 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 which however the learned think of it seems to be nothing else but the Translation of Mijmro in the Targum says that in the Mystery of the Trinity there is a Disjunction-Conjunction he means as the following words shew a Disjunction perform'd Intellectually only not Locally or a Disjunction of Two of the Persons abiding in Conjunction with the substance of the First I say abiding in it as Eusebius speaks in which he accords with Synesius without Abscission or without Disruption Many more Testimonies might I produce to like purpose but I forbear because I suppose these are enough Yet forasmuch as many with Erastus and Hobbs have more kindness for the Sacro-Sanctity of human Laws that they have for the Holy Cannons of the Church I shall add one Testimony more out of the Civil Law It is in an Edict of Theodosius the Great call'd Filia ejus Primogenita because set forth the next year after his Baptisme and it is Vt secundum Apostolorum Disciplinam Evangelicamque doctrinam Patris Filij et Spiritus Sancti Vnam Deitatem sub parili Majestate ● sub pia Trinitate credamus Is not here Paritis an Equal Majesty Is no here Pia a Godly or divine Trinity and is not here Vnica Deitas be One Godhead all the while Let them Judge who cry out so much 't is Law 't is Law which is the worst of the Two in Earnest Outlawry from the Civil Sanction or Excommunication from the Eclesiastical And What now since these Testimonies make out the Mystery so plainly the way that I take can we see any reason why we should check at the Subordination of the Son to the Father and of the Holy Ghost to the Father and Son For my part I see none What tho' the Arian says impudently enough 't is a Derogation to one who is God to be an Underling adding how come the Son and Holy Ghost to be sent to be put in Office to Minister why is One said to be the Son of the Highest the Other to be the Power of the Highest if we anoint our Eyes with Eye-Salve we shan't be long without an Answer to this For that Two of the Persons are Subordinate quà Persons we may acknowledge freely having sufficient warrant for 't from the word of God For why The Son himself says I came into the world not to be Minister'd unto but to Minister and St. Paul speaking of the Gospel calls it the Ministration of the Spirit Besides we find that as the Son Ministers to the Father only because He is of the Father alone so the Holy Ghost is call'd sometimes the Spirit of the Father sometimes the Spirit of the Son because as he Proceeded from both so he Ministers to Both. I say therefore that they are capable of Mission and Commission consequently may be put in Office tho' as in Unity they are really and truely God The reason of this we may Conceive well enough For We are taught by our Saviour himself when we pray to say Our Father which art in Heaven May we say therefore that the Father's Godhead which is the place of the Son and the Holy Ghost is the Place of all Spirits too for my part I dare not do 't least I should seem to Deify the Devils With Aquinas rather Deitas est immobilis say I for where it is now it ever was will be and Is immovably of the Godhead there is no going forth it is Quiescence it is Everlasting Sabbath The Totsaoth or Goings forth are of the Son and Holy Ghost only and they as they may so they have as the Prophet speaks of the Son their Egressions or Out-goings indeed and Blessed be God's holy name we see the Effects of all of their Subordination I mean and comings forth in our Redemption and Sanctification wherein they Minister to the Father for our Salvation Accordingly I shall lay down Two Querae's to be consider'd of Whether the Second Person the Son be not the Illustrious Prototype of the Souls of Men who beget their Like Whether the Third Person the Holy Ghost be not also the Illustrious Prototype of Coelestial Wights or Angels proceeding in their Creation all at once So it seems to be First because there are but two sorts or kinds of Rational Beings to be call'd Persons besides the Trinity Secondly because any kind of Person if it be Con-Substantial or in Unity with the Godhead must needs be God of God To speak of the Son first If it Be not so I ask why is he said to be Begotten why as Adam is he call'd the Son and the Image of God Why as a nurse Child or Foster-Babe is he long before God's Madeworks said to rejoyce and to have his delight in the Sons of Men and when Incarnate why did he call men and women Brothers and Sisters yea since the Father and Holy Ghost could not so be by reason of the Ones Immensity the Other 's Ubiquity why is He only Prophesy'd of to be a man whom a woman or rather a Virgin should Compass and how could he say I came from the Father into the World and now I leave the World and go to the Father And what tho' he be as the Arian says but the Son of the Highest I can tell him that he notwithstanding is most High too yea as High as the Highest for so the Holy Church in her Hymn at the close of the Communion Service Sings Thou only O Christ with the Holy Ghost art most high ask we how She says In the Glory of God the Father What is' t I hear O Depth of Wisdom O Abisse of Love tho' faintly yet someway Comprehensible On it because he that is Gods fellow being made man is my fellow also my heart Exults and Rejoyceth in Hope that he 'l be as kind to me as to any Sinner else and keep my wretched Soul from Hell Whether this be true or no it seems to be a suitable sweet ravishing and lovely Contemplation for which if I had Solomon's Wisdom I would Compose another new Song of Songs and as an Higgajan which comes from Hagah mporting meditari and Eloqui both with heart and Voice sing it to my Beloved For what tho' he came forth from the Father into the World so left his Glory behind him for a while and appeared as a meer Man 't was in love to me and such as I. But was the Unity dissolved by it no nor did he thereby cease to be God For the Holy Ghost who is an Vbiquitary Spirit in Heaven and in Earth at once and was Vinculum Nexus Vnitatis as the Fathers tell us came along with him abiding with the Father at the same time It was by the Overshadowings of the Holy Ghost that the Son was conceived and from him afterwards he never departed Now Next to the Holy Ghost himself He also seems to me to be the
