6. The Spirit doth cherish, and preserve, and keep all those saving gifts of his 1in you: As a Parent who beggars the children, he looks unto those children, and maintains and keeps them; All your graces are the births of the Spirit of grace; and as they are the effects of his power, so also are they the objects of his care; and therefore as they receive life from his presence in the Ordinances, so shall they receive strength, and growth, and stability from his continual influence upon them; We are strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man, Ephes. 3. 16. As we are changed from our shameful condition to glory by the Spirit, so by the same Spirit are we changed from glory to glory, 2 Cor. 3. 18.
