An earnest Petition for the Spirit. It is a sweet Promise in Luke 11.13. Your Heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit unto them, that ask him. O then Ask: especially let the Rising Generation Ask for this Blessing. You may plead your Descent; for the Voice of the Lord is in Isa. 44.3. I will pour my Spirit upon the seed of my servants. Go alone, then, and Pray, and say, Lord, Let me Enjoy thy Holy Spirit, and have the Grace never to Resist him.
