Now there are ten works which the Spirit of God doth for all the people of God.
1. He doth change their hearts; 2 Cor. 3. 18. We all beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same Image, from glory to glory, even as by the Spirit of the Lord. 2. He doth mortify their sinful lusts; Rom. 8. 13. If ye through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body. 3. He makes known the things of God unto them, and teacheth them all things; 1 Cor. 2. 10. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit. 1 Joh. 2. 27. Teacheth you of all things. 4. He doth powerfully enable them for all the works of obedience. Ezekiel 36. 27. I will put my Spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my Statutes, and you shall keep my judgements, and do them. 5. He doth dwell in them. Rom. 8. 11. and he dwells in them for ever. Joh. 14. 17. and dwelling in them, he makes them a fit habitation for God, Ephes. 2. 22. 6. He doth guide and lead them. Joh. 16. 13. The Spirit of truth, he will guide you into all truth. Rom. 8. 14. As many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the Sons of God. 7. He doth sustain or uphold them. Psal. 51. 12
