We see then there is a necessity of examining our selves in this point. If thou be anointed, examine thy self, what inward power of grace thou hast, what sweet work of the Spirit; whether thou find in thee a principle above corruption, that makes thee rule above that which the world is enthralled unto: undoubtedly as our title to heaven it is out of our selves, by the promises we have of salvation and reconciliation in Christ; so the evidences must be found in our selves; there must be anointing, and sealing, and the Earnest of the Spirit: therefore I beseech you, think seriously of what I have delivered of that Point before. But we shall have occasion in the particulars after to speak more of this. I go on therefore to the second word, Who hath sealed us.

The same God that anoints us, seals us. Anointing and sealing go both together; both are to secure us of our estate in Christ: both wrought by the Spirit of God.
