2. The personal Ministry of the Son whilst he was upon the earth in the days of his flesh is here eminently, though not solely intended. For as God of old spake in the Prophets, so in these last days he spake in the Son; that is, in him, personally present with the Church, as the Prophets also were in their several generations, Chap. 2. v. 3. Now as to his personal Ministry, he was sent to the lost sheep of the house of Israel, Mat. 15.24. (To whom also alone in his own days he sent his Apostles, Mat. 10.5, 6.) and is therefore said to have been a Minister of the Circumcision for the Truth of God, Rom. 15.5. being in the last place sent to the same Vineyard, unto which the Prophets were sent before, Mat. 21.37. The words there used, last of all he sent unto them his Son, are exegetical of these, he spoke in the Son in the last days.
