3. You who have the blessed spirit manifested by its energy and vital operations:1 1. Acknowledge Gods distinguishing love; the spirit is an ear-mark of Election, 1 John 3. 4. Christ gave the bag to Judas, but not his spirit: The spirit is a Love-token; ⟨p. 102⟩where God gives his spirit for a pawn, he gives himself for a portion: The spirit is an Epitomizing blessing, it is put for all good things, Mat. 7. 11. What were you without the spirit, but as so many carcasses? Without this Christ would not profit you; the Blood of God is not enough without the Breath of God: Oh then, be thankful for the spirit; this Lodestone will never leave drawing you, till it hath drawn you up to heaven.
