He that takes Christ, is subject to him; for so soon as there is an union made between the soul and Christ, so soon there is a power goes out from him, which bows and fashions the heart, and makes it willing to keep his Laws, it causeth such a motion in the heart, as is in the members from the head: so soon as the will is willing to do a thing, there is a readiness also in the members, and the reason is, because there is the same spirit that is in the head transfused ⟨p. 77⟩into the members, and so here the same spirit is communicated from Christ by virtue of this union to the members, and as soon as that union shall be perfect, and the Spirit shall dwell in all fullness in us, then we shall have a full readiness to obey him.
