What ever appertains to our Saviour, as the second person, and as the Son of the Father; that he had by eternal generation, and in a peculiar manner from the Father. But as second person, he assumes, and so is sent, and dispenseth the work of our Redemption. Therefore so far he is in a peculiar manner sent from the Father: and in this sense, he is never said to be sent, but from the Father in the Verdict of Scripture.

In a word, hence it appears, that the work of incarnation, as he took our Nature, the work of dispensation in sending the spirit, & appointing all Officers, & Offices & ordinances, and accompanying and blessing all for good: Issues in a peculiar manner from this his sending from the Father. Which the wicked world doth not see, will not acknowledge, cannot submit unto, but they shall one day be forced unto it.
