John14:10

10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me ? The words that I speak unto you , I speak not of my self : but the Father that dwelleth [illegible: 1 letter]n me, he doth the works .

It is the opinion of Mr. Calvin, that these words are not here spoken so much to express his Divine Nature and Being (for so Christ is no more known to us than his Father), as to express his manner of revealing it. Yet is the Divine Nature of Christ fully proved from hence. Others judg, that these words do clearly signifie both the distinction of persons; for nothing is in it self; and also the Union of the persons in the Divine Being.

He proveth his Union with the Father, because he spake not those words which he spake of himself; that is, not of himself solely; he revealed but his Father's Will, and declared his Father's Mind; and

because the works which he did, he did not by his own sole power, without the concurrence of his Father's power in those Operations.
