Use. 4 Again, seeing where the Spirit of God is,1 there is this sweet and glorious liberty, let us take heed by all means that we do not grieve the Spirit, when we find the holy Ghost, in the use of any good means to touch upon our souls, oh give him entrance, and way to come into his own chamber, as it were to provide a ⟨p. 211⟩room for himself, as Cyprian 2saith, Consecra habitaculum, &c. enter into thy bed chamber, consecrate a habitation for thy self, so let us give him way to come into our souls, when he knocks by his sweet motions. We that live in the Church, there is none of us all but our hearts tell us that we have often resisted the holy Ghost, we• might have been saved, if we had not been rebellious, and opposite; Grieve not the Spirit by any means.
