This self same Spirit, increasing faith in us, being now not under the authority of the law and the flesh, but under the grace of effectual Regeneration; doth teach, comfort, raise, and confirm us in all our conflicts against Satan: ill we obtain the crown, which is given of free gift, though unto these only, that do lawfully strive and overcome.
