This then is the Second thing ⟨p. 229⟩that the Lord Christ doth, and which is to be eyed in him, he sends his Holy Spirit into our Hearts, which is the efficient cause 1of all Holiness and Sanctification, quickening, enlightening, purifying the Souls of his Saints. How our union with him, with all the benefits thereon depending, floweth from this his communication of the spirit unto us, to abide with us, and to dwell in us, I have at large elsewhere declared: where also this 2whole matter is more fully opened. And this is to be considered in him by faith, in reference to the Spirit its self.
