Expl. 24. When Christ is here called a Prophet, we are not to restrain this part of his Office only to his foretelling all such things as should befall his Church, or the enemies thereof, though this he has done in Prophetical Scriptures, so far as he thought necessary for the good of his Church: But he is principally called a Prophet (and that Prophet) because of that power, commission, and ability which he has, and doth exercise, in revealing and declaring (both outwardly by his Word, and inwardly by his Spirit) the whole mind and will of God, which was necessary to be known by man in order to salvation. And for this reason he is called in Scripture the Word (and the Word was made flesh), and his name is [the Word of God], because that as a man does make known what his mind and will is by his words, either written or spoken; so God the Father doth make known unto man by Christ what he would have men to believe and do in order to salvation; and that either mediately, by committing the word of Christ unto writings, as in the Scripture; or immediately, by the Spirit of Truth, as he did communicate and speak his mind to Moses, the Prophets, and Apostles.
