4. He whom the Spirit of God thus leads, he fits and enables to walk with God, under Ordinances, as appears by Ezek. 36.27. where ⟨p. 141⟩God gives his Spirit, he gives him for a leader, and whom the Spirit of God leads, it enables to walk with God, in the use of his Ordinances, as that Text plainly shows, (even in the most glorious times of the Gospel, for of these the Prophet here speaks.) Note this, all you that boast of the Spirit, and think you are led by the Spirit, and yet cry down Ordinances.
4. He whom the Spirit of God thus leads, he fits and inables to walk with God, under Ordinances, as appears by Ezek. 36.27. where ⟨p. 141⟩God gives his Spirit, he gives him for a leader, and whom the Spirit of God leads, it inables to walk with God, in the use of his Ordinances, as that Text plainly shews, (even in the most glorious times of the Gospel, for of these the Prophet here speaks.) Note this, all you that boast of the Spirit, and think you are led by the Spirit, and yet cry down Ordinances.
5. He whom the Spirit of God thus leads, he quickeneth in some measure, Rom. 8.11. where the Spirit of God dwells as a leader, he dwells as a quickener, he quickeneth our souls even while they dwell in houses of clay, in mortal bodies, he quickeneth them in every faculty, and to every holy duty, though not all in like measure, nor to all duties at the same time. Note this, all you that not being under a Temptation to distrust,1 think you are led by the Spirit of God, and yet find no quickening at all by the Spirit, neither desire any, nor feel want of it.
