Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Again, the work of the Spirit promised by Christ, is to glorify him. He shall Glorify me, for he shall take of mine and show it unto you. John 16. 14. him who was to suffer at Jerusalem, who §. 8 then spake to his Disciples; It was to make him Glorious, Honourable, and of high esteem in the hearts of Believers, and that by showing his things, his Love, Kindness, Grace, and purchase unto them. This is the work of the Spirit. The work of the Spirit, that is gone abroad, is to glorify it self; to decry, and ⟨p. 300⟩render contemptible Christ that suffered for us under the name of a Christ without us; which it slights and despiseth, and that professedly. Its own Glory, its own honour is all that it aims at: wholly inverting the order of the divine dispensations. The fountain of all being, and lying in the Fathers love, the Son came to glorify the Father. He still says, I seek not my own glory, but the glory of him that sent me. The Son having carried on the work of Redemption, was now to be glorified with the Father. So he prays that it might be. John 17. 1. The hour is come, glorify the Son, and that with the glory which he had before the world, when his joint counsel was in the carrying on the Fathers Love. Wherefore the Holy Ghost, is sent, and his work is to glorify the Son; but now (as I said) we have a Spirit come forth, whose whole business is to glorify himself; whereby we may easily know whence he is.

Againe, the worke of the Spirit promised by Christ, is to glorify him. He shall Glorify me, for he shall take of mine and shew it unto you. John 16. 14. him who was to suffer at Jerusalem, who §. 8 then spake to his Disciples; It was to make him Glorious, Honourable, and of high esteem in the hearts of Believers, and that by shewing his things, his Love, Kindnesse, Grace, and purchase unto them. This is the worke of the Spirit. The worke of the Spirit, that is gone abroad, is to glorify it selfe; to decry, and ⟨p. 300⟩render contemptible Christ that suffered for us under the name of a Christ without us; which it slights and despiseth, and that professedly. Its own Glory, its own honour is all that it aymes at: wholly inverting the order of the divine dispensations. The fountaine of all being, and lying in the Fathers love, the Sonne came to glorify the Father. He still says, I seek not my own glory, but the glory of him that sent me. The Sonne having carryed on the worke of Redemption, was now to be glorifyed with the Father. So he prays that it might be.
