3 If any be afflicted in mind for want of feeling, he must distinguish between Gods1 spirit and his graces in us: for his spirit may live in us when his graces are dead in us, Psal. 51. For as by some extreme sickness life may be within one, yet it cannot be felt of the sick body: so in some great temptation, the holy Ghost may be in us, and yet we not feel nor find his presence. Howbeit, as by breathing never so short we discern life: so by the actions of the spirit, he it never so little, we may judge of the life of God in us.
