V. Let thy dependence on the Holy Ghost as given from Christ, be henceforth as serious and constant to thee, as is the dependence of the Eye on the light of the Sun, and of natural Life upon its heat and motion. Beg hard for the Holy Spirit, and gladly entertain it.
V. Let thy dependance on the Holy Ghost as given from Christ, be henceforth as serious and constant to thee, as is the dependance of the Eye on the light of the Sun, and of natural Life upon its heat and motion. Beg hard for the Holy Spirit, and gladly entertain it.
