1. His Work is at first to quicken them: You hath he quickned.
2. To renew, to regenerate, to sanctify them; this is the Work and Office of the Spirit: I will sprinkle clean Water upon 1you, and ye shall be clean from all your Filthiness. And hence the Gentiles are said to be sanctified by the Holy Ghost. But pray take notice of this, the Rock in the Wilderness was first smitten before Water gushed forth. So Christ was first smitten, first crucified, then the Spirit like Water was poured forth: It is, Sirs, wholly the Effects and Fruits of his Death.
