The Manner of Communion: Distinct and Peculiar

The next portion of On Communion with God addresses the manner and matter of communion with God (chps. 2-4).  The manner of communion with God takes up all of chapter 2 and part of chapter 3.

The fellowship is exercised either distinctly and peculiarly or jointly and in common.  That is to say, our fellowship with God is experienced either distinctly and peculiarly with each person of the Trinity or with the Godhead as a unity.  The beginning of chapter 2 sets forth the scriptural evidence for a distinct communion with each person--with the Father, with the Son, with the Holy Spirit--in giving and receiving.
