2. Gods Spirit hath a sanctifying† virtue, the heart naturally is polluted, but when the spirit comes into it, it works sin out, and grace in: The Spirit of God was represented by the Dove▪ Emblem of Purity; the spirit makes the heart a Temple for pureness, and a Paradise for pleasantness: The holy Oil of *Consecration, was nothing else but a prefiguring of the† spirit: The spirit sanctifies a mans fancy, causing it to mint holy meditations; it sanctifies his will, biassing it to good: so that now it shall be as delightful to serve God, as before it was to sin against him: sweet powders perfume linen; so Gods Spirit in a man, perfumes him with holiness, and makes his heart a Map of Heaven.
