7. He whom the Spirit of God thus leadeth, he helpeth his infirmities, The Spirit (saith the Apostle) helpeth our infirmities, meaning theirs to whom he is a leader; But how doth the Spirit that? Why, by discovering our infirmities unto us, and supplying what is wanting in us, out of Christs fullness, which he holds up and applies to us. The Text doth not say, That the Spirit perfectly cureth our infirmities, [but he helpeth our infirmities,] He helpeth them, by doing that for us, which we cannot do our selves, Rom. 8.26. this each mans experience, which is thus led by the Spirit will tell him.

8. He that is thus led by the Spirit, finds so much sweetness in his leader, that he still desires to be more led by him, to be filled with the Spirit, as the Scripture speaks; He never thinks he hath enough of the Spirit, but still desires more, and his soul follows hard after the Lord in Prayer, and in the use of all means by him appointed, for the attaining a greater measure of the Spirit than he yet hath.
