The first property. It is a Spiritual Union. 1When we speak of this Union, we must abstract from all that is gross and fleshy; there is nothing in it obvious to sense, perceptible by the eye, or by the ear, or by the touch, or taste; it is not effected by any corporeal contact: Christ, and the Believer are not tied together by any material bonds, and fleshy sinews, but their Union is a pure, immaterial, sublime Union; altogether Spiritual; and that upon a double account.

First, partly in as much as by this Union, Christ, 1and the Believer are made one Spirit; He that is joined to the Lord, ⟨p. 24⟩is one Spirit: not only, one Spiritually, but one Spirit: not as exclusive to the body it self, 2for we are Members of his Body, of his Flesh, and of his Bones; but expressing to us the top and perfection of this Union. He, that is joined to an Harlot; is one flesh, in an impure, and carnal sense. Man and Wife, 3
