A third cause of life, is the Spirit of God, John 3.6. There is a shedding abroad of the Spirit into the heart of every regenerate man, that he hath not the same spirit he had before. Now a mans spirit is the bent and inclination of the soul. Eph. 4.23. Be ye renewed in the spirits of your minds. The soul and the body is the same: But there is another spirit, they see other things they never saw before, judge otherwise then they did before; now they have new thoughts, and judgements, and affections, so that their heart is far off from earthly things, and let on spiritual things. All things are become new. A new heart, new conference, new employment, new company, the whole man hath another frame of spirit in him. He that finds it thus hath life.
