Excerpt from The Christian Oratory, or the Devotion of the Closet Displayed, Vol. 2 of 2: To Which Is Added an Appendix That I may have the proper advantage of this exercise, and of the subject I have chose now to review, I would make a few remarks upon it. As (lst.) That the Spirit of God is pro mised and given to all the faithful; to all the genuine members of the Christian church. Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and the Spirit g' God du'elleth in you, 1 Cor. Iii. 16. Vi. 19. By one Spirit are are all baptized into one body, 1 Cor. Xii. 13. By this tee know that he abideth in us by his Spirit that he hath given us, 1 John iii. 24. Because we are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into our hearts, Gal. Iv. 6. The church is Christ's body, ani mated and influenced by his spirit, communi cated from him to every member.
