First, That the Spirit of Jesus is in the souls of the faithful, 1 John 2. 27. The anointing teacheth you all things. Rom. 8. 11. The Spirit that raised up Jesus from the dead dwells in us. The manner of his being in us I intend not to meddle with, unless I saw more cause: I do believe the manner of his abiding in us, and his nearness to all the Saints, when seen of us, may astonish our own spirits, and shall one day confound all the world; Only know, as the Martyr said, He is come, he is come. The spirit of the world and Satan is cast out, 1 Cor. 2. 12. and in room of them enters the Spirit of God.

Secondly, That the Spirit so is in the faithful, as that there is a principle of created graces in them, or an inward principle of life and grace. Not that these alone make this inward principle, but the Spirit in us working of them, working by them. And truly 'tis a sad thing if the proving of such a principle shall be an attributing too much to grace in us.
