Yea, The Holy Ghost is not only this Executor, to see this Will of Christ fulfilled; but he is, as it were, our Advocate. Indeed we have but one Advocate, that is Christ: But I say, we have, as it were, two Advocates; One in Heaven above, and one in our bosom. When a man sins, a godly man sins, Satan accuses him in Heaven: And therefore says John, If any man sin, ¹we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the Righteous. ⟨p. 8⟩But if a godly man sin, Satan doth also accuse him to himself. And therefore says the Apostle, We have the Spirit within us, making intercession. ²And says our Saviour Christ, I will send another Comforter: So ye read it; but it is the same word that is translated, Advocate; I will send you another Advocate. Yea, the Spirit of the Lord is our Witness also: For the Spirit shall bear witness with our Spirits, that we are the Children of God. Now when the Spirit bears witness with a mans spirit, that he is •he child of God, then he hath peace and quiet. So that, if you consider all the•e Engagements; the Father engaged, the Son engaged, the Holy Ghost engaged, for the peace and quiet of Gods Children, Must you not needs conclude this Point and Doctrine, and say, Sur•ly, there is an inward peace and quietness of soul, which ordinarily Gods People are endued withal?
