Two discourses concerning the Holy Spirit, and His work the one, Of the Spirit…

For he and they are distinct Persons, and must eternally abide so whilst their Natures are distinct. It is only the Assumption of our Nature into Union with the Son of God, antecedent unto ⟨p. 54⟩any individual Personal Subsistence of it's own, that can constitute such an Union.

FOURTHLY, The Union and Relation that ensues on this Inhabitation of the Spirit, is not immediate between him and Believers, but between them and Jesus Christ. For he is sent to dwell in them by Christ, in his Name, as his Spirit, to supply his Room in Love and Grace towards them, making use of his things in all his Effects and Operations unto his Glory. Hence, I say, is the Union of Believers with Christ by the Spirit, and not with the Spirit himself. For this Holy Spirit dwelling in the Humane Nature of Christ, manifesting and acting himself in all Fullness therein, as hath been declared, being sent by him to dwell in like manner, and act in a limited Measure in all Believers, there is a mystical Union thence arising between them, whereof the Spirit is the Bond and Vital Principle.
