Secondly, By presence and influence, which is an immediate work. This the Apostle calls witness-bearing (1 Joh. 5.8.) There are three that bear witness in earth, The Spirit, and the water, and the blood. The Spirit brings in the witness of the water and of the blood, which is his mediate work; but besides and above these he gives a distinct witness of his own, which is his immediate work, and is in a way of peculiarity and transcendency, called the witness of the Spirit.

The Spirit doth (as it were) put his hand to our receipts, and his seal also, whence he is said, To seal us up to the day of redemption, Ephes. 4.30.

The Spirit doth (as it were) put his hand to our receits, and his seal also, whence he is said, To seal us up to the day of redemption,
