4. The good Spirit by Spirit is good, •sa. 143 10 Thou gavest them of thy good Spirit, 1Neh. 9. 20. The Spirit is essentially good, and counsels good: he is indeed a good Spirit ⟨p. 62⟩unto us; All the good thoughts in us, and all the good desires in us, and all the good we have or shall receive from God in Christ, is handed to us by this good Spirit, yea and all the sweet sights of God himself that ever we enjoyed, and all the tastes that ever we have had of Jesus Christ, and all the joys and contentments in our souls, we are beholding unto this good Spirit for every one of them; though in some respect you are not beholding unto the Spirit for dying, and suffering, and satisfying, and reconciling, and purchasing for you, yet this I may safely affirm, that for all the enjoyments of all the sweet comforts depending on the sufferings of Christ, you are singularly beholding to the good spirit for them; you never could have partook of Christ, nor of any one good purchased by Christ, had it not been for this good Spirit.
