That he that is thus united to Christ, is one Spirit with Christ, is evident by the Language of the Apostle,1 1 Cor. 6.17. He that is joined to the Lord, is one spirit; In these few words we have a complete description of a new Creature, in his conjunction with Christ, and in his conformity to Christ; in his Union with Christ and Communion with him; of this Union with Christ, what it is, and how effected the Reader may see more in Pag. 2, 3. this only I will add here, and so proceed; That the joining to the Lord, here spoken of, is not a bare joining in nature only, by Christ's participation of our humane nature, neither is it a joining in glory; but it is a joining to the Lord in grace. A new Creature is one then, that is joined to the Lord in grace; And he that is thus joined to the Lord is one Spirit, that is, he is one Spirit with the Lord Jesus Christ, he is one with Christ in every thing, one with Christ, in affection; one with him, in action; one with him, in function; one with him, in life and conversation; Christ is formed in him in all these, and he thereby made one spirit with Christ.
