- 1Seven Characters of a man without Christ
1. That man that is without the Spirit of Christ, he is without any real actual interest in Christ: this the Apostle lays down to us in so many express terms in Rom. 8. 9. If any man hath not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his: Christ and 1the Spirit are inseparable companions; ⟨p. 35⟩have the one, and you enjoy the other; want the one, and you are without the other; And here (Beloved) to apply this more particularly, you are without any interest in Christ, if you are without the Spirit of Christ in the threefold operation of it.
