In ignorance the soul feeds on him as a Prophet to instruct it; in the sense of wrath and anger the soul feeds on him as a Priest to make peace and reconciliation: in want of righteousness, the soul feeds on his righteousness, he is our righteousness: In the sense of corruption, the soul feeds on him as a King, that by his Spirit will ere long work out all corruption, that as he will tread down all our enemies without, so he will tread down all corruption within▪ he will never leave the soul till he have made it a glorious house fit for himself.
