As there is a ground of the Application of 1the word, and a necessity of it; so there is a principle of Application; that is, the Spirit of God in the hearts of the children of God, teaching their spirits to draw wholesome truths fitting to themselves, and none but the children of God can do it, that have the Spirit of God, they cannot apply the word of God aright. False Application of the word of God, is the cause of all mischief sometimes, when those that apply the law, should apply the Gospel; and on the contrary, when those that ⟨p. 154⟩should apply the law, sinful secure persons, apply the Gospel. Many times poor distressed persons, that comfort belongs to, Oh comfort my people, they apply the Law that belongs not to them, in that case false application is the ground of mischief; therefore the Spirit of God is the principle of Application of divine truths, according to the exigence, and estate of Gods people.
