Therefore examine whether you are bound with another Spirit that you cannot do the evil that you would do: then it is certain that you have the holy Spirit. Therefore Paul in the place forenamed said that he was ⟨p. 108⟩bound in the Spirit for Jerusalem: as if he had said, the spirit of God bound up my spirit to go, that I cannot otherwise choose: Therefore, what do you mean to break mine heart? what do you mean to hinder me? I tell you there is a necessity laid upon me by the Spirit that I must go, whatsoever death befalls me. For it is the office of the Spirit to bind up our spirits: and therefore in Rev. 1. it is said that John was in the Spirit: that is, he was 1compassed about with the Spirit, he was in the Spirit as a man is in armour. It keeps I say our spirits in a spiritual disposition, that we cannot do the evil we would.
