Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

And this glorifying of the Holy Ghost in thanksgivings, on §. 10 a spiritual sense of his consolations, is no small part of our communion with him. Considering his free engagement in this work, his coming forth from the Father to this purpose, his mission by the Son, and condescension therein, his Love and kindness, ⟨p. 317⟩the soul of a believer, is poured out in thankful praises to him, and is sweetly affected with the duty. There is no duty that leaves a more heavenly savour in the soul then this doth.

Also in our prayers to him, for the carrying on the work of our consolation, which he hath undertaken ly's our communion §. 11 with him. John prays for Grace and peace from the seven spirits that are before the Throne; or the Holy Ghost, whose operations are perfect and complete. This part of his worship is expressly mentioned frequently in Scripture, and all others do necessarily attend it. Let the Saints consider, what need they stand in of these effects of the Holy Ghost before mentioned, with many such others, as might be insisted on. Weigh all the privileges, which we are made partakers of. Remember that he distributes them as he will; that he hath the Sovereign disposal of them, and they will be prepared for this duty.
