Thirdly, what is meant by quenching of the Spirit? 1A man is said to quench the Spirit, when there is a carelessness in the using of the means of grace whereby the Spirit is increased; that is, when men grow 2careless and remiss in the duties of Religion, either in hearing, reading, praying, or meditating. Again, 3when a man doth not cherish every good motion of the Spirit in his heart, either to pray, or to hear, &c. but lets them lye without practice, this is a quenching of the Spirit: therefore the Apostle saith, 2 Thes. 5. 19. 4Quench not the Spirit; that is, by a neglect of the means.
