The application of redemption

Secondly, Where a man dwells, as he owns the house,§2 so he takes up his abode there, it is the place of his residence; we say any may know where to seek men, or where to find them, at home, at their own house: That's the difference between Inning and Dwelling; we Inn at a place in our passing by, when we take repast only, and bait, but depart presently, intending not to stay; but where we dwell, we settle our abode, we take up our stand there, and stir no further. So the Lord is said then to dwell in the Soul, when he vouchsafes the constant expression of his peculiar presence and assistance to the soul. True it is that the Lord fills Heaven and Earth with his presence, yea, the Heaven of Heavens is not able to contain him, Jer. 23. 24. His infinite Being is every where, and one and the same every where in regard ⟨p. 4⟩of himself; because his being is most simple, and not subject to any shadow of change, being all one with himself. Yet he is said to take up his abode in a special manner, when he doth put forth the peculiar expression of his Work; as in Heaven he dwells, because he puts forth the constant expression of his Glory, and that in the full brightness of it without any alteration and change. Here in this Spiritual Temple, the Souls of his Saints, he puts forth the peculiar expression of the constant assistance of his blessed Spirit. I will pray the Father, and he shall send you another Comforter, who shall abide with you for ever, John 14. 16. 1 Joh. 2. 23. Ye have received an anointing which abideth in you.

So the Lord is said then to dwel in the Soul, when he vouchsafes the constant expression of his peculiar presence and assistance to the soul.
