1Those motions that the Spirit stirs up from within, come from sanctified judgement & estimation of what they are moved to; other motions, are hasty, and gone before they have their errand: holy motions are constant, (as strengthened from constant grace within) will they see the issue of what they are moved to: other motions are like lightening, and sudden flashes, that leave the soul more da•ke and amazed then before. Holy motions are answerable to ⟨p. 89⟩the duties of our calling: other motions oft lead us out of the compass of our calling.

1The Spirit moveth in the godly, first by a dwelling in them, and working in them gracious abilities, and then draws forth those abilities to good actions. But the Spirit dwelleth not in others, nor produceth any sanctified abilities in them, but only moveth them sometimes to good actions, without changing of them.
