Hence, from this immediate dispensation of all power, he sends his spirit the Comforter into the hearts of his, that he may supply all their wants, furnish them to all their works, and fit them with fullness of power and spirit to each holy performance. Its requisite I go, because If I go not, the Comforter will not come: but if ⟨p. 332⟩I go, I will send him. The glorification of our Saviour makes way for the mission of the Spirit and observe what he adds. Joh. 16.13, 14. He shall take of mine, and give it to you. And what will he give? All things that the Father hath, and mine, therefore I said, he shall take of mine. They are all Christs, for the immediate dispensation, and its from the virtue of a glorified Saviour, that the spirit takes them, and conveys them.
