John 16:14

The third benefit to be expected by the Spirits coming, (and an enlargement of the former) is, that he shall glorifie Christ, by communicating and shewing unto them, what he receives of him. Which is to be understood, not only of that truth that he communicates from Christ unto them, of which, v. 13. but also of all these extraordinary gifts, and that power to work miracles; of that efficacy, accompanying and bearing in the doctrine of Christ; of his bringing all that to a glorious effect which Christ had done for his people in his state of humiliation, which otherwise seemed very ignominious; and, of his communicating the influences of the fulnesse of Christ in heaven to beleevers on earth. By all which, communicate from Christ, he shall make it evident that Christ is glorious, and to be acknowledged as such by his people. Whence learn, 1. It is not only the particular satisfaction of beleevers, but Christs honour also, that they should look to in their spiritual enjoyments; so that it is not enough they be refreshed and satisfied, unless he also appear glorious, and become great in their hearts thereby; for, this tends to their encouragement, that by what they shall receive from the Spirit, he shall glorifie me, saith Christ. 2. Albeit Christs person, doctrine, actions and sufferings, in the state of his humiliation, were clouded under obscurity and ignominie; yet as he is still glorious in himself, so the Spirit after his Ascension did, and in all ages doth proclaim his glory and excellency, in his person, doctrine, and operations, to the conviction and satisfaction of beleevers; for, he shall glorifie me. 3. It is the work of the Spirit, where he is communicate, not to extol or teach men to cry up themselves who do receive him, nor yet to glorifie and exalt any other thing in the Church but Christ alone; exalting his person, making his Word singularly effectual, pointing out his ignominious sufferings, as the only mean of life, and himself, as the storehouse of his people; for the true Spirit shall glorifie me, saith Christ. 4. As all the fulnesse communicate by the Spirit to the Church, in the primitive times and after-ages, is communicate from Christ, (for, it is mine, saith he, he shall shew unto you;) so the way to have Christ high in our hearts, is to have the Spirit keeping intercourse betwixt him and us, and conveighing daily of his fulnesse, and the warme thoughts of his heart and good-will to us; for, this is the Spirits employment, and by this he glorifieth Christ; for, he shall receive of mine, and shew it unto you.
