CHAP. LIII. Necessity of ordinances, and of written and preached Scripture to the most perfect.
From this it cometh, that Antinomians ajudge, there is no need that a soul once in Christ go out for new and fresh supply of actual grace, because it is acted by the Spirit inhabitating. And bSaltmarsh, The more any motion or obedience is caused from things without, the more forced and unnatural is all such obedience, and the less from a spiritual power within. The believer is (saith Town) washed from all sin, made perfectly, just, and holy, the friend and Son of God, the Spouse of Christ, the heir of all things, the conqueror of all his enemies, advanced to sit and remain in the glory of heaven with Christ for ever and ever. — he is out of the power, kingdom, and limits of the Law; he is one Spirit with Christ, — hence is peace, security, consolation, joy, contentment, and happiness of a Christian.
