1. That he shall come; The Affirmative of his coming, on the performance of that condition of it, of Christs going away, is included in the negation of his coming, without its accomplishment; If I go not away, he will not come; if I do go, [Greek or Hebrew] he will come, so that there is not only the mission of Christ but the will of the Spirit in his coming; He will come, his own will is in his work.

2. [Greek or Hebrew], I will send him; the mystery of his sending the §. 10 Spirit, our Saviour instructs his Disciples in by degrees; Ch. 14. 16. he saith I will PRAY THE FATHER, He shall send you another Comforter. In the progress of his discourse he gets one step more upon their faith, v. 26. But the Comforter which is the Holy Ghost whom THE FATHER WILL SEND IN MY NAME: but Chap. 15. 26. he saith I WILL SEND HIM FROM THE FATHER; and here absolutely I WILL SEND HIM.
