3. When he shall look upon them as the charge and deposisitum of the Holy Ghost. Whom the Father did Elect, the Son was to purchase; and whom the Son purchased, the Spirit was to Sanctify: Who therefore is called the Holy-Ghost, not only because, as the third glorious Person in the blessed Trinity, he is essentially holy in himself; but because by Office he is a Fountain of Holiness to all the Elect. The Blood of Christ indeed is the Fountain of Merit; but the Spirit of Christ the Fountain of operation and efficacy; gathering the Elect out of the world, wherein they lay (in common with the rest of the lost Sons and Daughters of Adam,) 1planting their Souls with the habits of Grace, (which are therefore called the Fruits of the Spirit) and then acting, supporting, preserving, and ripening those habits into perfection.

The Father's Election, and the Son's Purchase, are both perfected by the Sanctification of the Spirit.
