2. There is the Connection of Concomitancy ⟨p. 275⟩between the Gospel and the Spirit. The Spirit only goeth along with the Gospel, and no other Doctrine; and so both external and internal Grace, are of God. John 17.17. Sanctify them by thy Truth, thy Word is Truth. It was fit that a Super-natural Doctrine should be accompanied with a Supernatural Operation, and Power; How else should it be known to be of God? The Truth and the Spirit are inseparable Companions. Where there is little of God known, there is little of his Spirit. As in the Natural Truth revealed to the Heathens; Somewhat God showed unto them, Rom. 1.19. In the darker Revelation to the Jews, there is but a fainter degree of the Spirit; but Grace and Truth come by Jesus Christ. There goeth along with the Doctrine of the Gospel, a mighty Spirit of Holiness; for thereby God would prove the Verity and Truth of this Religion, and suitably to the rich Mercy prepared for us in Christ.
