And then again the Word to all them that belong to God,1 hath the Spirit of God▪ by which it passeth, rightly accompanying it, witnessing to the soul of man that it is so,2 and by a divine efficacy it is mighty in operation. What doth it in the heart?3 It warmeth the heart upon the hearing, and speaking, and discoursing of it. As when the Disciples went to Emmaus. It hath a heat of Spirit going with it to affect the heart with heavenly joy and delight:4 it hath power going with it by the Spirit to raise joy unspeakable and glorious: It hath a power to pacify the soul amidst all troubles. When nothing will still the soul, the Spirit of God in the Word will do it, by its divine power.
