St. Paul saith (1 Cor. 15:24), “then cometh the end, when He shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father”; and by many other most express places.
Our Saviour, therefore, both in teaching and reigning, representeth, as Moses did, the person of God; which God from that time forward, but not before, is called the Father; and being still one and the same substance, is one person as represented by Moses, and another person as represented by His Son the Christ. For “person” being a relative to a “representer,” it is consequent to plurality of representers, that there be a plurality of persons, though of one and the same substance.
