Again, Christ stiles himself sweetly our brother: what a world of promises 1are in these relations? God the Father is ours, Christ is ours: here is the grand Promise, I will be your God, and will give you my Son.
- 1Christ our brother.
And then in the third place, he hath promised his Spirit; he will give 1his Spirit to them that beg him: what a world of Promises is in that promise of the Spirit? It is a comforting Spirit, a sanctifying Spirit, a quickening Spirit, a strengthening Spirit, all is in the Spirit. As our soul doth all that the body doth: so it is by virtue of the Spirit, all the grace, and all the comfort we have. God hath promised himself, and Christ, and the Spirit, the whole Trinity. There is the grand Promise, I will be your God, Christ shall be your Christ, and I will give you my Spirit. If we had not other promises, what a world of comfort have we in these?
