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
5. The Office and Work of the Holy Spirit, is to enable us to mortify Sin: Rom. 8. 13. If ye through the Spirit mortify the Deeds of the Body, ye shall live. And hence it is also that Sin shall not have Dominion over them; and therefore Believers cannot perish, they having such a Helper: He destroys all that Dominion Sin and Satan had in them, and Power over them: The Spirit utterly spoils Satan's Kingdom in them, Because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the World, saith John, speaking to the Saints. This is 1such a Helper that can never be worsted.
