Yea, this is the proper genuine Spirit, and temper of a Saint, which agrees to him as he is such. He is begotten to the eternal inheritance. A disposition (and therein a desire) to it, is in his very nature (the new nature he hath received) implanted there, from his original. He is born Spirit of Spirit, and by that birth, is not entitled only, but adopted, and ⟨p. 355⟩suited also to that pure and Spiritual state of blessedness. That grace by the appearance whereof men are made Christians teaches, also instructs, unto this very thing, to look for this blessed hope the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ.. That which you know consummates that blessedness. For when Christ, who i• their life shall appear then shall they also appear with him in glory, by the participation of the divine nature their Spirits escape and get up above this corrupt impure world. That new nature is a holy flame that carries the•r hearts upwards towards heaven.
