2. In cherishing that Spirit, that Holy Comforter which Christ sends to us; to abide with us in his room, and stead: He tells us that he sends him to that purpose Joh. 16. 7. he gives him to us, Vicariam navarre operam, saith Tertullian, to abide with us for ever, for all those ends and purposes which he hath to fulfil towards us, and upon us; He gives him to dwell in us, to keep us and preserve us blameless for himself; his name is in him, and with him; and it is upon his account that whatever is done to any of Christs, is done to him, because it is done to them in whom he is and dwells by his spirit. Now herein do the Saints preserve their conjugal affections entire to Christ, that they ⟨p. 168⟩labour by all means not to grieve his Holy Spirit, which he hath sent in his stead to abide with them. This the Apostle puts them in mind of. Eph. 4. 30. Grieve not the Holy Spirit.
