3. It is the Work of the Spirit to cause us to walk in God's Ways, and to keep his Statutes: I will put my Spirit within you, 1and cause you to walk in my Statutes, and ye shall keep my Judgments, and do them. We should not do this were it not for the Spirit; we could not keep God's Precepts, nor walk in his Paths, but God puts his Spirit into us that we shall not depart from him; that is, we shall not finally apostatize from him, but shall keep his Precepts to the End.
4. It is the Work of the Spirit to help us to pray, and breathe forth our Desires to God: We know not how to pray, but as the Spirit 1helps our Infirmities, and maketh intercession for us with Groans that cannot be uttered. Christ having redeemed us from the Curse of the Law, it is, that this Blessing of Abraham might come upon the Gentiles: And because ye are Sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your Hearts, crying, Abba, Father.2
