on
the
Excellency!
of
Chrift.
then
another Scripture wee have
in
7011.17.8.
I
havegiven
unto
them
the
words
which
thou
gavefi
mee ,
and
they
have
re-
ceived
them,
and have
known
furely
that
I
came
out
from
thee
and
they
have
beleeved
that
thou
didfifend
mee.
When
I
was
in
-thy
bofome from
eternity
,
thou
gavett
mee
fuch
words; and diddeft put
this upon
mee, that I íhould reveal
thy will
to
fuch
and
fuch
, and
every
particular one
was
mentioned unto
Chrift, whom
fuch
words
fh
ould
beemade
known
too
;
faith
Chrift,I
have
done
it
,
1
have given
unto
them the
words which thou
gavefl
mee
, and therefore
Chrifl
bee
is
called the
Word
efpecially in regard
of
his
Prophe-
tical
Office
,
The
Word
was
made
Flefh, the 'brd was God
;
Chrift comes to reveal
the
minde
of
his
Father
unto
the
children of men;
as by
the
words of
a
man,
the
minde and
counfels
,
and thoughts
of
a
man
come
to
bee
made
known,
fo
Chrift
was
the
Word
of God
;
though
I
fay
nkik
that
this is all the
fenfe from
that
,
but there
is
a higher
fenfe;
but
this
is
one
thing aimed
at,that
by
him
the
counfels
of
God
come to bee made known to the children
of men,
therefore
Chrift faith
, That
no
man
knows
the
Father
but
the
Son,
and him
to
whom the Son
(hall reveal him
:
Mee
comes
to
reveal God
to
the
children of men. And that
may
bee
a,
third
particular.

The wonder
of
Chrifts
Prophetical
Office
, it
is
in the
great
things
that
hee
is
fent
to
reveal
,
in the
high
things,
the fupernatural
things , things
that
are
fo
infinitely
above
the reach of reafon.
Let
a
man
bee
elevated
unto
the
greatefa
height
of
reafon , hee
is
not
able
to
reach
into
the
myfleries
of godlinefs,
no,
as
the Apoflle
faith in
a
place
in
the
Corintliars
before named ,
it
muft
bee
the
Spirit
of
God
that
fearches
the deep
things
of
Cod
;
now
this
is the
Spïrllt
of God
that
is
fent
from the
Father
and
the
Son,
that
fearches
the
deep
things
of God,
they
are
deep,
high,
fupernatural
, glorious things that Jefus Chrift
doth dif-
cover
;
O1î
there
are
tinfearchable riches, the Apotile
calls
the
Gofpel
,
1
nfearchable
riches
,
rich things
that
have
no
ffotfleps at
.all
in
the
creature;
wee
can
never
come
by
any
know-
