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

(3) ALL those things, those Acts of Light, Grace and Mercy, whereby the Souls of the Disciples of Christ are comforted by the Holy Ghost, are the things of Christ, that is, especial Fruits of his Mediation. So speaketh our Saviour himself of Him and his Work; He shall glorify me; for he shall receive of mine, and show it unto you, John 16. 14. All that Consolation, Peace and Joy which he communicates unto Believers; yea, all that he doth in his whole Work towards the Elect, is but the effectual Communication of the Fruits of the Mediation of Christ unto them. And this is the first thing that constitutes the Office of the Comforter; this Work is committed and entrusted unto him in an especial manner, which in the infinite Condescension of his own Will, he takes upon him.

SECONDLY, It farther evinceth the Nature of an Office, in that he is said to be sent unto the Work▪ And Mission always includeth Commission. He who is sent is entrusted and empowered as unto what he is sent about. See Psal. 104. 30.
