These, all these, and none but these, the holy Spirit of God doth seal unto the day of redemption, unto the day of the full manifestation ⟨p. 184⟩of our redemption, unto the day of the redemption of our bodies from corruption, and the fruition of the redemption of our souls and bodies from Hell, by Jesus Christ.

The divine seals of God, are of a double kind, and of a double use; they are of a double kind, they are either external, or internal; outward or inward; •. External, or outward, and such a seal was Circumcision in the time of the Law, it is so called by the Apostle, Rom 4.11. And such are our Sacraments▪ Baptism, and the Lords Supper, now in the days of the Gospel.
