There is also a most close and intimate union betwixt Christ, and the soul that believeth in him. It is emphatically expressed by the Apostle, 1 Cor. 6. 17.

Christ and the soul cleave together in a blessed oneness, as those things do that are glued one to another; so that, look as the graft is really in the stock, and the spirit or sap of the stock is really in the graft, so a believer is really (though mystically) in Christ; and the Spirit of Christ is really communicated to a believer.
