1. Christ is in us by way of Union, ¹so as to be made one mystical person with us: I shall not be large in discovering this, because I have touched on it heretofore, only the first step of Christs being in us is by uniting of himself to us, for we are by nature estranged from him, and lie as so many lumps of earth devoid and destitute of all spiritual life and motion till Christ unite himself to us, so that as it was Gods wonderful power to call those dry bones and unite them together; Thus it is also his admirable power to unite himself to a Believer, Christ doth not stay till we first unite our selves to him, but he joineth himself first to us, and this is the first step of Christs saving grace in us.
