Q. But do not the Scriptures make mention of a Christ within? 2 Cor. 13 5.
A. Yes, And he that hath not ⟨p. 207⟩the spirit of Christ is none of his, Rom. 8. 9. But he that hath it, is led out of himself by it; and as I said before, it shows the soul, what the blessed son of the Virgin Mary hath done and suffered, and is a doing for it. Therefore hereby know we the spirit of truth from the spirit of error. Every spirit that doth confess that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, is of God; That is, that spirit that doth confess that Jesus Christ took flesh upon him, and in that flesh did bear our sins, 1 Pet. 2. 24. Col. 1. 20, 21, 22. 1 Pet. 3. 18. 1 Pet. 4. 1. and after he was taken down from the cross, and laid in a sepulchre, rose again from the dead; that very man, with that very body, wherewith he was crucified: That spirit that doth believe and confess this is of God, and is the blessed spirit of Christ, whereof h• spake, when he was yet with his Disciples touching ⟨p. 208⟩his bodily presence: for he (saith the Son of Mary) shall glorify me, for he shall take of Mine and show it to you, Joh. 16. 13, 14.
