2. The Commission, Mission and furnishing of the Son as incarnate and Mediator with abilities for the declaration of the mind and will of God unto the Church, were peculiarly from the Father. For the whole work of his Mediation he received command of the Father, John 10.18. and what he should speak, John 12.4. according to which commandment he wrought and taught, John 14.31. Whence that is the common Periphrasis whereby he expressed the Person of the Father, he that sent him, as also he that sealed and anointed him. And his Doctrine on that account he testified, was not his, his own, that is primarily or originarily as Mediator, but his that sent him, John 7.16. It was from the Father that he heard the word, and learned the Doctrine that he declared unto the Church. And this is asserted where ever there is mention made of the Fathers sending, sealing, anointing, commanding, teaching him; of his doing the will, speaking the words, seeking the Glory, obeying the commands of him that sent him; See John 8.26, 28, 40. Chap. 14.10. c. 15.15. Revel. 1.1. And in the Old Testament, Zech. 2.8. Isa. 48.15, 16, 17. Chap. 50.4. That blessed Tongue of the Learned whereby God spake in and by him, the refreshing word of the Gospel, unto poor weary sinners, was the gift of the Father.
