13. Again, this assurance that God is our God in Christ, and our Father, is wrought by the sealing of the spirit, and sanctifying of us: therefore take heed, we grieve not the spirit of God. Gods spirit moveth our hearts often times in hearing the word, or reading or praying, when we have any good motions, or when we entertain them, and therefore do not grieve the spirit of God, whose office is to seal us to the day of redemption, to assure us God is our God, and our Father in Christ. Grieve him not, least he grieve us, by reaching and tormenting ⟨p. 228⟩our consciences, and that is the way to maintain our interest. Take heed of crossing the spirit, especially by any sin against conscience. Conscience is Gods Deputy, grieve not 2the spirit, grieve not conscience, for Conscience is God Deputative, it is a little God within us. And therefore if we will not alienate God from us, to whom we have given our selves, if we be true believers, do nothing against his Deputy and Agent, the spirit that sanctifieth us, and sealeth us to the day of redemption.
