CHAP. VI.
The two spirits of the world and of God, 1 Cor. 2, 12. and the differences in order to influences opened. 3. The characters of the spirit of God, and the relation of the spirit to the word. 3. The spirit of Antichrist. 4. The more of the spirit the more activity in the ways of God. 5. The Spirit of God a praying spirit. 6. No praying without the spirit. 7. The suspending of influences. 8. We are to pray for influences. 9. Two-fold power and efficacy. 10. The difference betwixt the spirits acting, and the literal acting of the word.
But influences of the Spirit are mainly here to be eyed; and if any have the spirit, he cannot want the influences of God. The Spirit is, as it were, all saving influences, and such as are void of the spirit, know not any thing of saving influences; Yea, the Father and the Son let out all their influences in, and by the Spirit.
