At the least whosoever hath the Spirit of Christ, he shall find that Spirit in him striving against that which is contrary, and by little and little getting ground, where there is no conflict, there is no Spirit of Christ at all, I will not be large in the point, only I speak this by way of trial to know whether we have the Spirit of Christ in us or no, if not we have nothing to do with Christ: For Christ saves us not as he is out of us only, Christ was to do something of himself that we have no share in, only the good of it is ours, he was to redeem us by his blood, to be a Sacrifice, the title to Heaven and salvation was wrought by Christ out of us, but there is somewhat that he doth not only for us, but he works in us by his Spirit, that is, the fitting of us for that he hath given us title too, and the applying of that that he hath done for us. Whosoever therefore hath any benefit by Christ, he hath the Spirit to apply that to himself and to fit and qualify him to be a member of such a Head, and an heir of such a Kingdom, whosoever Christ works any thing for, he doth also work in them, there is a Spirit of application and that spirit of application if it be true it is a Spirit of sanctification and renovation fitting us every way for our condition,
