2. THE Lord Christ doth not hereby cease to be the Comforter of his Church. For what he doth by his Spirit, he doth by himself. He is with us unto the end of the World by his Spirit being with us, and he dwelleth in us by the Spirit dwelling in us; and whatever else is done by the Spirit, ⟨p. 7⟩is done by him. And it is so upon a Three-fold Account. For, (1) The Lord Christ, as Mediator, is God and Man in One Person, and the Divine Nature is to be considered in all his Mediatory Operations. For he who worketh them is God, and he worketh them all as God-Man, whence they are Theandrical. And this is proposed unto us in the greatest Acts of his Humiliation, which the Divine Nature in it self is not formally capable of. So God redeemed his Church with his own Blood, Acts 20. 28. Inasmuch as he who was in the form of God, and thought it no Robbery to be equal with God, humbled himself, and became obedient unto Death, the Death of the Cross, Phil. 2. 6, 7, 8. Now in this respect the Lord Christ and the Holy Spirit are one in Nature, Essence, Will and Power. As he said of the Father, I and my Father are one, John 10. 30. So it is with the Spirit, he and the Spirit are One. Hence all the Works of the Holy Spirit are his also; as his Works were the Works of the Father, and the Works of the Father were his: All the Operations of the Holy Trinity, as to things external, unto their Divine Subsistence being individed. So is the Work of the Holy Spirit in the Consolation of the Church his Work also.
