The orthodox evangelist. Or A treatise wherein many great evangelical truths (not a few whereof are much opposed and eclipsed in this perilous hour of the passion of the Gospel) are briefly discussed, cleared, and confirmed: as a further help, for the begetting, and establishing of the faith which is in Jesus. As also the state of the blessed, where; of the condition of their souls from the instant of their dissolution: and of their persons after their resurrection.

The Mission, or sending of one person from another, is the determination of one person by another unto their operations, concerning the creature according to the order of their subsistence: As the Son in regard of the Order of Being is of the Father, so doth he depend upon the Father in regard of the Order of his operation. The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do, John 5.19. And as the Holy Ghost in respect of the Order of his Being, is of the Father, and the Son: so doth he depend upon the Father, and the Son, in respect of the Order of his Operation. Hence as the Son is of the Father, so in this sense he is said to be sent from the Father, John 5.24.30. And as the Holy Ghost is from the Father, and the Son, so he is said to be sent from the Father, and the Son, John 14.26. and 15.26.
