John10:30

30 I and my Father are one .

My Father and I are one, not only in Counsel and Will, (as Iohn 17.11, 12. And believers are said to be of one heart, Acts 4.32.) but in Nature, Power, and Essence; for it is plain, that our Saviour here ascribeth the preservation of his sheep, not to the Will, but to the Power of his Father. None is able to pluck them out of my Fathers hand. And it is plain by what followes, that the Iews thus understood our Saviour: Some eminent Protestant Interpreters expound this of an oneness in Consent and Will, doing the same things, and driving the same design; both agreeing to preserve the Sheep unto Eternal Life; but (with all respect unto them) I think the context implieth more, though this be not excluded.
