Two discourses concerning the Holy Spirit, and His work the one, Of the Spirit…

(§ 11.) THE Ministry of the LXX also, which the Lord Christ sent forth afterwards, to go two and two before his Face into every City and Place whither he himself would come, was in like manner Temporary; that is, it was subservient and commensurate unto his own Personal Ministry in the Flesh, Luke 10. 1, 2, 3. These are commonly called Evangelists, from the General Nature of their Work, but were not those Extraordinary Officers, which were afterwards in the Christian Church under that Title and Appellation. But there was some Analogy and Proportion between the one and the other. For as ⟨p. 149⟩these first Seventy seem to have had an Inferior Work, and subordinate unto that of the Twelve in their Ministry unto the Church of the Jews, during the time of the Lord Christ his Converse among them; so those Evangelists that afterwards were appointed, were subordinate unto them in their Evangelical Apostleship. And these also as they were immediately called unto their Employment by the Lord Jesus, so their Work being Extraordinary, they were endued with Extraordinary Gifts of the Holy Ghost, as Ver. 9. 17, 19.
