Yes! for, First, Ans. Though all Grace be immediately given out of the hand of Christ, all grace from Him, and He gives it out; He is Commissioned, and designed, by the Father to do it: He does but the Fathers work.¹ I came not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me. Was it any dishonour to Pharaoh, that Joseph gave out the bread in the time of famine? No, because he was Commissioned by Pharaoh to do it. And so now, If Jesus Christ have a Commission from the Father to do this, 'tis no dishonour to the Father: and a Commission He hath, He will show you it under hand, and seal; Him hath God the Father sealed. ²so says Christ.
