2. If you would know Christ crucified in a right manner, you must then look upon him as sent, you must look upon this crucified Christ under the mission of the Father. There are three great Missions that you read of in the New Testament. — There is the mission of Ministers; they are sent out to preach. — There is the mission of the Holy Ghost, I will send the Comforter. — There is the mission of the Son sent from the Father. Now the mission of Christ from the Father, is the original of all the • there missions; and you cannot know the other missions rightly, if you do not know this original mission. ⟨p. 46⟩If you would know Christ crucified in a right manner, you must know him as sent. In the 17. […] John saith Christ in his prayer to the Father, But have known thee, and these have known that tho• hast sent me. So that if you would know Chri•• crucified in a right manner, you must know him• and look upon him as under a mission from the Father.
