JOH. VI.XXVII. For him hath God the Father Sealed.
YOU have heard Christs compact or agreement with the Father, in the Covenant of Redemption. As also what the Father did in pursuance of the ends thereof; in giving his Son out of his bosom, &c. Also what the Son hath done towards it in assuming Flesh. But though the glorious work be thus far advanced, yet all he should act in that assumed Body, had been invalid and vain, without a due call, and Commission from the Father so to do. Which is the import of the words now before you.
