If it shall be further inquired, why the word, the second person was manifested ? divers reasons are given in answer by the Antients 1 By the word all things, were at first made, fit it is that the new, as well as the old creation, should be his work. 2 This word is the image of the Father, and therefore most fit to restore the image of God in man. 3 The third is the middle person in the Trinity, and therefore most fit to be Mediator between God and man. 4 He is the word to reveal his Fathers will to the world, and therefore he fittest to be manifested in the flesh for this end. 5 He onely the Son, and therefore most suitable for him to become the Son of man, that he might make us the Sonnes of God. 6 In a word, had either the Father, or the Holy Ghost been incarnate, there must have been two sonnes in the Trinity, which were incongruous. 7 But when all is said, that which we must acquiesce in, is the good pleasure of the blessed Trinity, by whose mutual consent, the second person, the Son of God, the word of life was made flesh, and so manifested. |
