In that He is Given to them by the Baptismal Covenant, in special Relation to their own persons, to be their sanctifier: In which respect they are Baptized into the name of the Holy Ghost, as being now in Covenant theirs. 3. In that he worketh in them▪ the Acts and Habits of Holiness, even of Love to God and to his Image; and helpeth them in all duties, and against all temptations, enemies and sins.
