The fifth privilege is, the inhabitation 1of the holy Ghost. The soul and body of a Christian, is the Temple of the holy Ghost, and the Spirit of God doth verily and truly dwell within the breast of a Christian, and that not in a naked presence; but the holy Ghost is there, to teach him to ⟨p. 304⟩guide him into all truth, to tell him when he is ready to go out of the way, on the right hand or on the left, and to comfort him in all distresses, and to seal the promises to his heart, and to anoint him with the oil of true knowledge and grace, and to be as a pledge and earnest of his inheritance, looked for from h•aven, and to teach him to pray when, he knows not how to pray for himself; and many other excellent benefits he reapeth from the Spirit of God, whom the world cannot receive. He hath for this respect a very spring of knowledge, and joy and grace in his belly.
