8. How the holy Ghost is retained.
The holy Ghost is retained and kept for the most part by the same means by which it is given and received. §11. By diligent use of the Ecclesiastical Ministry. He gave some to be Apostles, 1some to be Prophets for the edification of the body of Christ, till we all meet together in the unity of faith. §22. By meditation in the doctrine of the Gospel, and by studying to profit therein.2 He that doth meditate in the Law of the Lord day and night, shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of waters, that will bring forth her fruit in due season. Let the word of Christ dwell in you plenteously in all wisdom, 3teaching and admonishing your selves. §33. He is kept by increase and continuance, and amendment of life: that is, by a desire of bewaring to offend against our conscience. Unto him that hath, shall be given. He that is righteous, let him be righteous still. 4Grieve not the holy Spirit of God, by whom ye are sealed unto the day of redemption. Hither may be referred a desire of avoiding evil company and sin. For he that will avoid sin, must avoid all occasion of sinning. §44. He is retained by daily and earnest prayer and invocation.
