Yea such a measure of the spirit of grace shall be poured forth upon them, that they shall be holy even in their civil converse amongst men, Zech. 14.20, 21. In that day there shall be upon the Bells of the horses, holiness unto the Lord, yea every pot in Jerusalem and in ⟨p. 101⟩Judah shall be holiness unto the Lord of hosts. The meaning may be that they shall act from holy principles, and for holy ends, in all that they do, whether they buy or sell, whether they tarry at home or go abroad, whether they eat or drink, or make use of this or that creature for their comforts, they shall see God, and enjoy God, and seek the glory of God in all. This is excellent, and thus holy shall they be: As for sin and corrupt nature which remains more or less in the Saints whilst they are in this world, it shall be wonderfully restrained and consumed by the spirit of grace in these converted Israelites, Isa. 4.4. The Lord shall wash away the filth of Zion, and shall purge the blood of Jerusalem by the spirit of judgment, and by the spirit of burning. As for the bloody filth of sin which is upon them, Gods spirit shall teach them to judge themselves for it, and also shall consume and burn up their dross for them.

What I conceive to be the truth of God concerning that matter, and needful for you to know, I shall (by the help of his grace) plainly declare unto you in these following Conclusions.
