The learned Jacob Bryant wrote a very valuable Tract entitled, _The sentiments of Philo Judæus concerning the ΛΟΓΟΣ, or Word of God_; from which the following are quotations. “Philo Judæus speaks at large in many places of the Word of God, the second person, which he mentions as _the second Divinity_, the _great Cause_ of all things, and styles him as Plato, as well as the Jews, had done before, the LOGOS. Of the Divine Logos or Word he speaks in many places, and maintains at large the Divinity of the second Person, and describes his attributes in a very precise and copious manner, styling him _the second Deity, who is the Word of the supreme God, his first-begotten Son; and the image of God_. In his treatise upon _creation_, he speaks of the Word as _the Divine operator by whom all things were disposed_: and mentions him as _superior to the angels and all created beings, and the image and likeness of God_, and says, that _this image of the true God was esteemed the same as God_. _This_ LOGOS, _the_ WORD _of_ GOD, says he, _is superior to all the world, and more ancient; being the productor of all that was produced. The eternal Word of the everlasting God is the sure and fixed foundation upon which all things depend_.” Creation is moreover ascribed to the HOLY SPIRIT. That the Holy Spirit has a _personality_ distinct from that of the Father, and also that of the Son, and a real and proper _Divinity_, is a doctrine of Divine revelation. In his personal capacity, he is not the Father, nor the Son. He neither is nor can be divided either from the Divine essence, nor from the other two persons, but yet is personally distinct from them. His relation to, and mission by, the Father and the Son, clearly evince his personal distinction. He is called the Spirit of the _Father_, and the Spirit of the _Son_. He is represented as _sent_ by the Father, and also as _sent_ by the Son. These things show that he is a Divine person, and has a distinct personality. The Holy Spirit is the last in the order of subsistence: the Father is the first, the Son is the second, and the Holy Spirit is the third. Yet we should know, that the Father is not before the Son, nor the Son before the Holy Spirit, by a priority of time, nor of dignity and perfections; for the three persons in the Divine essence are _co-eternal_.
