1. Because the Work of the Spirit is to lead us into the sayings of Christ; which, as to our Redemption from death, are such as these: I lay down my Life, that you may have Life. I give my Life a Ransom for many; And the Bread which I will give is my Flesh, which I will give for the Life of the World, Joh. 6.
2. Because, IF the Spirit in the Wisdom of Heaven, is not counted a sufficient Testimony on Earth, but as joined with the Blood of Christ. There are three that bear witness on Earth, the Spirit, the Water, and the Blood. These are the Witness of God. The Spirit, because it quickeneth; the Blood, because it hath merited; and ⟨p. 122⟩the Water, to wit, the Word, because by that, we are clean, as to life and conversation, 1 John 5. 8. Ephes. 5. 26. Rom. 8. 16. Psal. 119. 9.
