And then with Dedication; there is an inward Qualification, to enable him 1with light never to forget the Image of God. Herein this Saint-ship stands especially in this inward Qualification, whereby we resemble Christ the King of Saints. All our sanctification comes from him: as Aarons. ointment went down from his head to his beard, and so to his skirts: so all our sanctification is from Christ. Every Saint is qualified from the Spirit of Christ: of his fullness we receive this inward qualification, that we have another judgment of things then this world hath, what is good, and what is bad; what is true, and what is false, what is comfortable, and what tends to discomfort. He hath another conceit of things, he hath another light then he had before, and then other carnal men have; he hath a heavenly light. He hath another Language, he gives himself to prayer, and to thanksgiving he is given to savoury discourse. He hath other courses in his particular calling, and in his general calling then other refuse company have, or then himself had before his calling: this is from his qualification.
