Secondly, an Earnest is part of the whole bargain; though it be a very 1little part, yet it is a part: and so the Spirit of God here, and the work of the Spirit, and the graces and joy of the Spirit, it is a part of that full joy and happiness that shall be revealed. The Spirit dwells not fully in any one, he dwelleth no further then he sanctifieth and reviveth, but that is an Earnest for the time to come, that the Spirit shall be all in all, wherein we shall have no reluctancy, nor nothing to exalt it self against the sure regiment of the Spirit.
