2. Unto the SON. The Father proclaims him from Heaven to be the great Teacher in that solemn charge to hear him, which came once again from the excellent glory; This is my beloved 1Son, hear him. The whole of his Prophetical, and no small part of his Kingly Office consists in this Teaching; Herein is he said to draw men unto him, as the Father is said to do in his Teaching; Joh. 12. 32. which he doth with such efficacy that the dead hear his voice and live. The Teaching of the Son, is a Life-Giving, a spirit breathing Teaching: an effectual influence of Light, whereby he shines into darkness; Communication of Life, quickening the dead; an opening of blind eyes, and changing of hard hearts, a pouring out of the Spirit, with all the fruits thereof. Hence he claims it as his privilege to be the sole Master; Math. 23. v. 10: One is your Master which is Christ.

The Teaching of the Son, is a Life-Giving, a spirit breathing Teaching: an effectuall influence of Light, whereby he shines into darknesse; Communication of Life, quickning the dead; an opening of blind eyes, and changing of hard hearts, a powring out of the Spirit, with all the fruits thereof. Hence he claimes it as his priviledge to be the sole Master; Math. 23. v. 10: One is your Master which is Christ.
