IN these words, ye have another Property of our Spiritual life: it is a Christ-Advancing life. I live, yet not I, but Christ liveth in me. the former words, Yet not I, hold forth a Depression, and Annihilation of a mans self in Spiritual things. These words, But Christ liveth in me, hold forth the Advancings of Jesus Christ. He gives the Power, Strength, and Honour of all unto Jesus Christ, But CHRIST liveth in me.

In the words, There are these Three things especially observable: First of all, The Presence of Christ with a Believer. Christ in me. Secondly, The Efficacy of his presence. He liveth in me. Thirdly, The Constancy of his Effectual presence: He does not stay for a day, or a night in me, but, He LIVETH in me.

And accordingly, there are Three Doctrines, that these words afford. First. Christ is in all Believers. For he does personate a ⟨p. 74⟩Believer all along, when he says, I. (as ye have heard) Christ is in each Believer. Secondly, Christ liveth in all Believers. Thirdly, That Christ does live more in a Believer, than a Believer doth himself. Yet not I, but Christ liveth in me.
