Quest. Is there then, no use of the Law, and Light, and Spirit within us? doth not God speak, and direct thereby?
Answ. 1 Yea: The Spirit of a man (saith Solomon) is the Candle of the Lord, searching all the inward rooms of the Belly. When God doth set up a Light or Candle in the Soul, he may thereby go into all the inward Chambers of the Soul, discovering those heaps of sin that are in the Soul.

Answ. 2 Yea, This inward Law, and Light, doth not only discover evil, but it doth incline to good, and strongly incline the Soul thereunto; therefore it is called a Law: not because it is a Rule to us (for the body of death and sin, is called, the Law in your Members) but because of its power and force to incline the Soul unto what is good.
