Use 2.¹ As you would be listed in the number of the godly, labour for the blessed indwelling of the spirit; pray with Melanchthon, Lord inflame my soul with thy holy ^†spirit; and with the Spouse, Awake O Northwind, and come thou South, blow upon my garden, Cant. 4. 16. As a Mariner would desire a wind to carry him to Sea, so beg the prosperous gales of the spirit; and the Promise may add wings to prayer, Luke 11. 13. If ye being evil know how to give good gifts unto your ⟨p. 100⟩children, how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Spirit to them that ask him? Gods spirit is a rich Jewel, go to him for it, Lord give me thy spirit, where is the Jewel thou didst promise me? When shall my soul be as Gideons Fleece, wet with the dew of heaven?
