4 The Scripture in like sort attributeth all Divine operations to the Son, as it doth unto the Father: And it communicateth unto him, 1. All general effects and works common to the whole three persons; as that he is Creator:1 By him were all things made. Likewise, that he is the preserver and governor of all things: Bearing up all things by his mighty word. 2. It appropriateth unto him certain special offices and functions, appertaining to the safety of his Church; as that he sendeth Prophets, Apostles, and other Ministers of the Church: As the Father sent me, so send I you. 2He therefore gave some to be Apostles, some Prophets, some Evangelists, and some Pastors and Teachers. That he furnisheth his Ministers with necessary gifts and graces: I will give you a mouth and wisdom, where against all your adversaries shall not be able to speak, 3nor resist. That he revealeth unto us his spiritual doctrine: The only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him unto us. That he confirmeth this doctrine by miracles: And they went forth, and preached every where: 4And the Lord wrought with them, and confirmed the word with signs that followed. That he instituted Sacraments: I have received of the Lord that which I also have delivered unto you. Baptise them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the holy Ghost. That he revealeth things to come. I Jesus have sent mine Angel to testify unto you these things in the Church. He shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. That he gathereth the Church: I am the good Shepherd, and know mine, and am known of mine. Other sheep I have also, which are not of this fold: them also must I bring, and they shall hear my voice, and there shall be one sheep-fold, and one Shepherd. That he enlighteneth the understanding and hearts of men: No man knoweth the Father but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him. 5Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the Scriptures. That he governeth the actions and lives of the godly: Without me ye can do nothing. Thus I live, yet not I now, but Christ liveth in me. That he ministereth comfort in temptations: Come unto me all ye that are weary and laden, and I will ease you. Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you.
