Divines generally fuppofe, that these Words, [1 am in the Father, and the Father in Me, have fome fecret Reference to the Manner of Chrifts Metaphyfical Exiftence with the Father, explained Job. pi, 1. Which though it may poffibly be True, yet the parallel places now-cited fhow the other to be the principal and more natural Meaning of the Words.

607. Joh. xvii, 5. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own felf, with the Glory † which I had with thee before the World was.

608.

The Socinian Interpretation of this paffage, is very harsh and unnatural; who understand it to fignify only the Glory which Chrift bad in the Foreknowledge and Predetermination of God. The plain and literal Meaning of the Words, is that which has been before expreffed, No 535.

IO. And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in Them.

And the Voice of the Lord came unto him, faying, I am the God of thy Fathers, the God of Abraham, and the God of Ifaac, and the God of Jacob.

It is the unanimous Opinion of All Antiquity, that This Angel who said, I am the God of thy Fathers, was Chrift, (the Angel of the Covenant, Mal. iii, 1; the Angel of Gods prefence, Ifai. Ixiii, 9; and in whom the Name of God was, Exod. xxiii, 21;) fpeaking in the Perfon of the Father.
