Sabbath day This was doubly false If a man be accused for breaking the Sabbath when he doth some work of necessity which is permitted on the Sabbath day though not commanded it is a false accusation but when he is accused to break the Sabbath for such a work as is a work suitable to the Sabbath there is a double falshood in such a charge Now such was this and other miraculous works wrought by the Lord Christ on the Sabbath They were not only things permitted to be done on that day but they were special and choice Sabbath day works for they were divine works works of divine and almighty power works tending to prove and confirm his doctrine yea proofs and evidences of that great doctrine that he was the Son of God the Christ the Saviour of the world So those enemies of the Gospel at Philippi falâ—ly accused Paul and Silas and slandered their doctrine saying these men being Iews do exceedingly trouble our City and teach customes which are not lawful for us to receive neither to observe being Romans Here was a double falshood For 1. It was lawful for them to receive and observe the things taught by Paul c. 2. It was not only lawful but necessary They were bound to receive them as the counsels and commands of the Lord Jesus exalted to the right hand of God as King of Kings and Lord of Lords to whom every knee mnst bow c. To whose Soveraignty both the Romans and all other nations of the world were subject So the unbelieving Iews of Thessalonica cried out against them These that have turned the world upside down are come hither also Now this had been false if Paul and Silas had done neither good nor harm in the world But it was doubly false For they were so far from turning the world upside down that they laboured mightily to set the world in order They found the world wofully disordered full of confusion and as it were turned upside down by the subtilty and malice of Satan and the wickedness of men the Divel the worst and basest of all the creatures raigning over the World man at first made after the Image of God and Lord of the rest of the creatures so far abased as to worship stocks and stones yea the Images of Birds and Beasts c. and inslaved to divers lusts and vile affections Now Paul and Silas and other faithful Preachers of the Gospel taught such a doctrine as tended to the remedying and rectifying of these disorders and confusions to put the world into a right posture to beat down the strong holds of Satan to cast him out of his usurped Throne to deliver the people of the world out of his power to rescue them out of the slavery of sin to reconcile them unto God by Christ to subject them to his authority to restore them to his likeness So there was also a double untruth in their other accusation These all do contrary to the decrees of Caesar. This had been false if Paul c. had spoken nothing at all either for or against Caesars Authority But it was a double untruth to lay such a charge upon them that taught obedience and subjection to Caesar. Let every soul be subject c. Yea and Paul directed Titus to teach thus Put them in mind to be subject to principalities and powers to obey Magistrates This proceedeth 1. From Ignorance I suppose in some who not having their senses exercised in the word of God do grossely mistake things that are delivered and misunderstand the words and meaning of those that bear witness to the truth Such it may be was the case of those unbelieving Iews who complained of Paul and Silas that they turned the world upside down And those Heathens at Athens who said of Paul he seemeth to be a setter forth of strange Gods because he preached unto them Iesus and the Resurrection Whereas his endeavour was to perswade them to renounce all strange gods and to turn to the only true and living God Others seem to have taken his speech for vain babling Whereas I believe it was the most serious weighty discourse that ever was uttered within their Walls since the foundation of their City was laid But they were trained up in heathenish blindness and ignorance and therefore no wonder if they were subject to such gross mistakes For saith the Apostle we preach Christ Crucified unto the Greeks foolishness The most excellent wisdom that ever was revealed to the children of men is accounted foolishness by ignorant and foolish men I conceive Secondly This may proceed from misinformation in some who being weak credulous persons do take things upon trust without judicious trial and examination giving credit to false reports of such as speak evil of that which they understand not or of such as for base ends do slander the truth or those that profess and preach the truth So when Demetrius minding his trade and gain had stirred up an uproar among the ignorant people of Ephesus Some cried one thing and some another for the assembly was confused and the most part knew not wherefore they were come together And yet it seemeth this rude and ignorant multitude joyned together to make up the common cry All with one voice about the space of two hours cryed out Great is Diana of the Epbesians How many have made loud clamours against the truth and them that preach and profess it upon the false suggestions of others themselves not being able to give a reason for what they say 3. I conceive many do this out of malice against those that maintain the truth The malignity of their Spirits is not satisfied with lesser calumnies than those of a double dye Tertullus the Oratour was not content to term the blessed Apostle Paul a pestilent fellow as our English hath it but a Pest or Plague as in the original and then accused him for a mover of sedition among all the Iews throughout the world and one that went about to prophane the Temple Whereas he endeavoured to prevent or suppress sedition or tumults and endured great afflictions and was exposed to extream dangers by the turbulent and seditious adversaries of the truth and instead of being a Plague he was one of the chiefest instruments of good to the world that ever was and instead of going about to Profane the Temple he shewed special regard of the supposed holiness of the Temple even after the date of it was expired that he might not give offence to the weak and yet the Iews assented to their Oratour in these most false suggestions saying that these things were so Fourthly It seemeth many do this for want of Arguments to confirm their false opinions and overthrow the Truth And therefore they lay on load heaping up railings instead of reasons false and reproachful accusations instead of convincing demonstrations thinking to disgrace those truths which they
cannot disprove and to discredit those teachers the light of whose doctrine they cannot resist And how ready are the weaker sort to be scared from the truth and alienated from those assemblies where it is taught by such shifts as these A bold face and a rolling tongue pouring out store of opprobrious language against the truth goes a great way with the simple What an out-cry was made by the Iews of Asia against Paul Men of Israel help This is the man that teacheth all men every where against the people and the Law and this place and farther brought Greeks also into the Temple and hath polluted this holy place And all the City was moved and the people ran together and they took Paul and drew him out of the Temple and went about to kill him How soon are the multitude stirred up and set in a rage by the meer clamours of those who outragiously exclaim against the truth and them that maintain it Men of Israel help as if all were like to be lost unless Paul and his doctrine were suppressed So when they that disputed with Stephen were not able to resist the wisdom and the spirit by which he spake Then they suborned men which said we have heard him speak blasphemous words against Moses and against God and they stirred up the people They were beaten from their arguments and then sought to over-bear him with false accusations and the ignorant people were ready to hearken to them First This may teach us not to think it strange if the Truth and those that profess it be evil spoken of in these times if things that are doubly false be objected against it and them Solomon saith There is no new thing under the Sun Certainly this is no new thing as ye have heard by divers examples out of Scripture it is a practice as antient as the Apostles dayes Paul and his Ministry did not escape these envenomed tongues Nay the Lord Christ himself together with his doctrine and works was thus traduced Why should it be expected that the servants should be above their Master or the truth in their mouths be more free from false reproaches than it was in his If ye hear such things in these dayes consider that the Divel doth but keep his old wont If the doctrine of free justification be slandered as licentious and tending to carnal liberty was it not so in Pauls time If the Ministers of the Gospel be called Antichristian Baals-Priests and the like by Hereticks and Sectaries it is no wonder the Divel seeth them to stand in his way and hinder his work I think it is easie to prove that there is a double falshood in this reproach For first they do not promote the interest and Kingdom of Antichrist either in regard of discipline doctrine or worship Not in regard of discipline they are far from seeking to bring men into subjection to him as the visible head of the Church or to exalt his authority above Kings and Princes and above the Laws of Christ. Nor in doctrine they teach not Popish opinions Nor in worship they are no Patrons of Idolatry and superstition But secondly They are so far from being Antichristians that I am perswaded that they are the greatest and most considerable opposites and adversaries to Antichrist that are in the world And therefore there is a double falshood in this charge And I think it very probable that the Jesuites were either the first instruments of Satan in broaching this reproach or else are very apt to promote it and set it on that by crying down the Ministers of the Gospel as Antichristian they may make way for Antichrist to get ground amongst us with the more ease and speed How easie were it to demonstrate that Ministers of the same order and the same judgement with those that now by foul-mouthed adversaries are branded for Antichristian have been principally instrumental under Christ to overthrow Popery and to prevent it for recovering its former strength For the eminent instruments in this work were Luther Melanchthon and Bucer and others of Germany Calvin Beza Iunius Chamier of France Zuinglius Oeâ—olampadius Bullinger Grinaeus of Switzerland Whitaker and Reinolds of England and divers others Besides the diligent and constant endeavours of Ministers in preaching clearing confirming the Truth and through the Lords blessing grounding and establishing the people in it against Popish errours and Antichristian corruptions As for Sectaries who are so liberal in bestowing such Titles upon the Ministers of the Gospel have they not occasionally at least given much advantage to Antichrist and as it were opened a back door at which to let him in again 1. By seeking to discredit the Ministers of the word and their Ministry 2. By drawing many people from the Ordinances and so preparing them to take such impressions as Satan and his instruments are ready to put upon them and if opportunity be to receive the mark of the Beast 3. By multiplying divisions and factions and setting up party against party and thereby taking a ready course to make Religion ridiculous in the eyes of worldly Politicians filling the minds of the simple with doubting and amazement as not knowing which way to take And 4. Hereupon ministring occasion to the Jesuites and Friers to perswade the people that there will be no certainty no end of divisions no remedy against sects and errours but by uniting themselves to one visible head the Pope and returning to the bosom of the Mother Church of Rome yea it is verily thought that many of the Popes Agents and Emissaries are now very active among us disguised under the appearance of Sectaries labouring to encrease contention among us for the designs of Antichrist I conceive it is very observable that those Sectaries which cry down the Preachers and Professours of the truth as Antichristian have usually come in the rear and a day after the fight as it were for when they that are sound in their principles have set upon the work of reformation and through the good hand of God some hopeful beginings have been made then have crept in Anabaptists and other Sectaries So in Germany Switzerland Geneva England I conceive the Divel finding that upon the breâ—king forth of light those old errours and corrupt customes will not be digested he then stirreth up some to pretend to reformation disguising himself that way that he may both hinder the work and blemish it This it seemeth was his practice about the time of Christs coming in the flesh to raise up false Christs and deceivers c. CHAP. IV. Rom. 3. 31. I Conceive it is clear that the Apostle in the two first Chapters of this Epistle speaketh of a threefold Law one of which was given to mankind in general both Gentiles and Israelites the other two were peculiarly delivered to the people of Israel The first of these scil that which was given to mankind in general is that which is called the Law
oâ— Christs gloriouâ— appearing especially considering that the day of death was to them as the last day not that he did peremtorily determine any thing concerning the time which was unknown now compare this with what he writeth to the same Church in the next Epistle Now we beseech you Brethren by the coming of our Lord Iesus Christ and by our gathering together unto him that ye be not shaken in mind or be troubled neither by spirit or word nor by letter as from us as that the day of Christ is at hand Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come except there come a falling away first and that man of sin be revealed the son of Perdition c. It seemeth some went about to deceive them under pretence of Revelation implied in the word Spirit some by word of Mouth as if the day of the Lord should come in that age and these might abuse those words of the Apostle in his former Epistle therefore he saith by Letter or Epistle as from us Now Satan might have this pollicy and set a certain day and that within a short time that when they saw it did not come to pass at the time foretold they might doubt of the thing it self whether ever it would come to pass but the Apostle shews them that there must be a great change before that day a general Apostacy or falling away and the revealing that man of sin the Son of perdition Secondly by drawing false inferences and conclusions from some places of Scripture So in the present Text from that â—ound doctrine of the Apostle concerning free justification of sinners through the righteousness of Christ without any respect at all to the works of the Law it seemeth some drew this inference or conclusion that the Law was made void and do not the Antinomians the very same â—t this day yea do not many among us harbour the same conceits in their minds as if it were enough only to pray to God to pardon their sins for Christ his sake as if they â—eed not labour after conformity to the Law â—n righteousness and holiness On the other â—â—de whereas Christ saith Except ye repent ye shall likewise perish Except a man be born again he cannot see the Kingdom of God Follow Holiness without which no man shall see the Lord. From these and the like Scriptures some it seemeth draw false conclusions as if by repentance by holiness by prayers and other duties they might in part satisfie for their former sins and as if Repentance Regeneration Holiness were not only things accompanying justification and salvation but proper causes But ye must consider First that Christ his satisfaction and righteousness is the full perfect and only cause of â—ustification and pardon of sin and that no holiness no duties of the persons justified do help any thing at all towards their justification it is the Righteousness of Christ imputed to them which maketh up the whole matter of their Righteousness in the sight of God and covereth all their sins Secondly on the other side Regeneration Repentance Holiness are concomitants things accompanying justification and salvation and evidences of it So that although none can procure pardon of sin nor justification in the least degree by any graces or duties of their own yet none can have any â—ound hope that their sins are forgiven or their persons accepted of God as righteous without Repentance Regeneration and Holiness because none have their sins pardoned and their persons justified but such as receive Christ into their hearts by Faith Now Christ alwaies cometh by water and blood by his holy graces to wash and sanctifie the Soul as by his blood and merit to justifie and procure forgiveness of sin As the light of the fire giveth no heat and the heat of the fire giveth no light yet the heat and light are joyned together in the fire so righteousness imputed to the soul for justification and forgiveness of sin do not sanctifie and on the other side Repentance Regeneration holiness in Believers do not justifie yet they are joyned together and where one is there is the other and the latter is an evidence of the former I conceive it is a common case with many to mistake in this kind because they want judgement rightly to draw inferences from Scripture groâ—nds so the Anabaptists because they read of persons baptized when they made profession of faith and repentance hereupon they draw conclusions against Infant-baptisme whereas the case is not alike for those examples are of converted Jews or Heathens not of such as are born of Christian-parents whereas they should rather argue that because Infants born of Church-members under the old Testament were circumcised as Church-members by the Lord command therefore Infants born of Church-members under the new Testament are to be baptized as Church-members now Thirdly prejudicate opinions false conceits sutable to corrupt Nature and carnal reason forestalling the mind and being entertained aforehand make people very apt to deprave or deny the Truth when it is presented to them I conceive this was the cause why the Jews were so obstinate in rejecting Christ and his doctrine not receiving and obeying him as Christ because their carnal minds were forestalled with conceits of a Messias that should come in state as an earthly Prince and erect a glorious worldly Kingdom amongst them and this prejudice moved them to corrupt the Prophecies of the old Testament and to distaste the doctrines of the New they liked not to hear of a crucified Redeemer the doctrine of the Cross was to them a stumbling-block they did not close with a spiritual Kingdom of Christ attended with persecution yea Christ his Disciples were not free from this disease and therefore when Christ foretold his own sufferings Peter presumed to rebuke him and there was a contention among them for the chiefe place as if they expected great worldly honours and dignities by following Christ On the other side the Grecians were prepossessed with the rational principles of worldly wisdom and Philosophy and so despised the Gospel as foolishness though indeed there were such heights and depths of divine wisdom in the mysteries of the Gospel as never came into the head of the wisest men amongst them The carnal Israelites were forestalled with an opinion of their own righteousness and so rejected the doctrine of justification by the righteousness of Christ For they being ignorant of Gods righteousness and going about to establish their own righteousness have not submitted themselves to the righteousness of God Ignorance and prejudice the fruit of ignorance caused them to disrelish the Truth of the Gospel Secondly the love of sin is a cause why men pervertor reject the Truths of the Gospel The Gospel and word of grac teacheth to deny ungodliness and worldly lusts c. This is distastful to a soul wherein sin raigneth The Gospel requireth Christians to
eminent Saints of his to err in some things that men may learn not to think of men above that which is meet but to give that great prerogative of infallibility to the God of truth alone who hath revealed his Truth in the holy Scriptures and therefore Christians should try all spirits and doctrines by this Rule bring them all to the Law and to the Testimony concluding that if they speak not according to this Rule it is because there is no light in them no light in their doctrine so far as it will not endure the trial of Scripture light yea the Apostle speaks very high in this case Though we or an Angel from Heaven preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached let him be accursed If it were possible for a blessed Angel to preach false doctrine we must reject and cleave to the Scripture against all contradiction For answer to the Second Question In as much as Satan and the corrupt nature of man are the cause of Errours and Heresies What is the reason that many carnal persons both such as are of civil conversation and fair moral principles and also such as are loose and licentious yea openly profane are free from errours in such places and ages where when false doctrines abound whereas they are such in whom the corruption of nature raigneth and such as are held captive by Satan according to his will For answer to this I conceive First that some such persons being naturally quick of apprehension and judicious may be so clearly convinced of some truths that though many deny them and oppose them yet they will stand to them especially when there is liberty for all sides to hold and profess what they list and a man may stick to the Truth without loss and danger in such cases natural Conscience is a strong tye upon mens spirits to cause them not willfully to deny a known Truth Secondly Some may affect the reputation of constancy being loth to be noted for light vain and fickle persons and therefore in as much as it was their lot to be trained up from their childhood in the truth they will cleave to it howsoever others cast it off so long as they see they may do it with safety They account it a childish thing to hearken to every novelty and vain fancy as indeed it is and therefore not becoming their gravity It may be they would have been as obstinate in error had they happened to have been taught it in their youth as now they seem to be constant in the Truth Is not this apparent in divers at this day who stand firm in doctrinal truths and remain perversely stiffe in old Ceremonyes and superstitious observances which have no footing in the holy Scriptures because they have been trained up in both On the one side they were trained up under sound doctrine concerning the main points of faith On the other side they received some superstitious observances by tradition and therefore they will part with neither Thirdly I suppose Satan having possession of carnal persons another way doth not much tempâ— some of them to renounce the Truth and entertain errours because they are not such as are likely to do him any special service in promoting false doctrines Fourthly many carnal persons may be engaged to stand for the Truth against errors because some whom they respect or upon whom they depend or of whom they look for some advantage go that way Fifthly many carnal persons seem to be indifferent in matter of Religion They are serious and hearty about things that bring in profit in following their business or in pursuing their pleasures in satisfying their lusts they think it no great matter what men hold or profess in matter of doctrine When the Iews accused the Apostle Paul for teaching false doctrine saith Gallio the Roman deputy If it be a question of words and names and of your law look ye to it for I will be no judge of such matters See how slightly he speaks of matters of Religion as if they were but empty words whereas the Question between Paul and the Iews was one of the weigtiest that ever was in controversie scil Whether the Lord Jesus were the Christ And so Festus another Roman Governour relating Pauls Case to King Agrippa accused by the Iews said When the Accusers stood up they brought none accusation of such things as I supsed but had certain questions against him of their own superstition and of one Iesus which was dead whom Paul affirmed to be alive It seemeth he thought these things to be frivolous queries not worthy of the cognizance of so great a Magistrate as himself whereas the Râ—surrection of Christ from the dead which was in question between Paul and his adversaries was such a fundamental point as that mans salvation depended upon it Thus it seemeth many are kept from embracing errours because they hold it a matter of no great weight what men profess in point of Religion But let all that mind their salvation receive the love of the Truth and walk in it hating and shunning every false opinion and every false way out of sincere love to the Lord Jesus Christ and true zeal for his Glory So much of the Question or Objection CHAP. II. THe Answer is first by way of abhorrence or detestation 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Let it not be or far be it from â—s which our translaturs render God Forbid I suppose because this English phrase is used in cases of like nature howsoever the Apostle by these words signified that he abhorred and detested such a consequence as to make void the Law by the doctrine of free justification through the righteousness of Christ applied by Faith Hence may be noted this point That gracious hearts do exceedingly abhor those opinions which corrupt or oppose the truth of God Heresies and false doctrines are odious to the godly 1. This may appear in many examples and first in the old Testament Moses did exceedingly abhorre the wicked counsel of Balaam whereby he taught the Midianites to deceivâ— the people of Israel so as to draw many of them from the worship of God to Idolatry and therefore saith he to the people arm some of your selves to the war and let them go against the Midianites and avenge the Lord of Midian which they did and slew the Males and five Kings of Midian and Balaam himself who gave this wicked counsel But Moses was not satisfied with this execution but was wroth with the officers of the Host and said unto them have ye saved all the women alive Behold these caused the Children of Israel through the counsel of Balaam to commit trespass against the Lord in the matter of Peor and there was a plague among the congregation of the Lord and then he commanded them to kill all except the women children which were Virgins And it seemeth that
which Believers are accepted as righteous with God so saith is that grace whereby it is applied to the soul the Father of the distressed child cryed out and said with tears Lord I believe help mine unbelief and the Apostles said unto the Lord Increase our Faith Pray earnestly for faith and for strength and increase of Faith that ye may be established in the faith and confirmed in the assurance of your interest in Christ and his perfect righteousness this is the Sheild which quenched the fiery darts of the Devil What may Christians expect that the Devil should rather aim at than the destroying or weakning of their faith to divide them from Christ to dissolve the marriage bond between him and them to strip them of their wedding garment the robe of Christ's Righteousness And what should Christians endeavour more than the strengthning of their faith Fifthly Let all that are in Christ justified by the Righteousness of Christ labour to walk as becometh those that are partakers of so rich a blessing This was one great end of Christ his coming into the world and performing this glorious work of Redemption that he would grant unto us That we being delivered out of the hand of our Enemies might serve him without fear in holiness and righteousness before him all the days of our life and therefore the Apostle having spoken at large of this doctrine of justification by faith in Christ his Righteousness exhorteth Believers thus I beseech you therefore Brethren by the mercies of God that ye present your bodies as a Sacrifice living holy acceptable unto God c. of him are ye in Christ Iesus who of God is made unto us wisdom righteousness and sanctification and redemption those to whom Christ is made righteousness for their justification to them he is made sanctification conforming them to himself in holiness Justification and Sanctification are 1. Distinct. 2. Unseparable neither to be confounded together nor separated from each other They are distinct Sanctification is no cause nor part of justification No man is justified for his holiness but only for the righteousness of Christ. On the other side sanctification and holiness is unseparably joyned with justification whosoever is justified is also sanctified when sin is forgiven it is also mortified Do not flatter your selves with a perswasion of the pardon of your sins and the justification of your persons while ye want the beginning of sanctification Saith the Apostle Ye are washed ye are sanctified ye are justified in the name of the Lord Iesus and by the spirit of our God All that are washed from the guilt of sin in the name of Christ and by the virtue of his blood being made partakers of righteousness unto justification are also washed by his sanctifying spirit and grace from the filth and pollution of sin and made partakers of his holiness In the next place we have the fourth particular That the Lord Iesus Christ established the Law by making it a rule of obedience to his people 1. Christ made the Law a rule of obedience to his people 2. Hereby he established the Law 1. Concerning the former the Lord Christ saith Think not that I am come to destroy the Law and the Prophets I am not come to destroy but to fulfill for verily I say unto you till Heaven and Earth pass one jot or one tittle shall in no wise pass from the Law till all be fulfilled the Law is established as a perpetual rule to direct Christians in the ordering of themselves all the powers of their souls affections of their hearts their thoughts words and actions and therefore Christ himself in divers passages following presseth not only the outward but also the inward observation of the Law a certain man asked Christ this question Which is the great Commandment in the Law Iesus said unto him Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart and with all thy soul and with all thy mind This is the first and great Commandment and the second is like unto it Thou shalt love thy Neighbour as thy self on these two Commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets I conceive the Lord Christ in this answer doth clearly confirm the Law as a Rule of obedience by his Authority 1. He doth as it were open the bowels of the Law and discover the soul and spirit of it shewing that it consisteth in two things 1. Intire and perfect love to God 2. As subordinate hereunto sincere love to our Neighbour 1. Because all things commanded in the Law are either love to God and man or such things as love supposeth as the knowledge of God or such affections thoughts words actions as accompany or flow from love 2. All sins of omission or commission towards God or man are either want of love or such as proceed from the want of love Now in that Christ doth so highly extol these two Commandments which comprehend the substance of the Law he established the Law as a rule of obedience for his people Secondly In this speech he had respect not only to the ten Commandments delivered Exod. 20. but also to the doctrine of the Prophets throughout the old Testament saying On these two c. The Prophets opening and enlarging in particulars what is generally comprized in the ten Commandments and if we compare this with what we had before where he saith he came to fulfill the Law and the Prophets we may gather that he established the Law delivered by Moses and expounded by the Prophets as a Rule of obedience to his people Again how frequently doth the spirit of Christ in his Apostles establish the Law as a rule of obedience for his people What are those things which the Apostles by the Authority of Christ and his Name require of Christians but things commanded in the Law And what are those sins which they call upon Christians to shun but sins forbidden in the Law Let Love be without dissimulation abhor that which is evil cleave to that which is good c. What multitudes of instances might be given in this kind and therefore saith the Apostle The end of the Commandments is Charity out of a pure heart and of a good Conscience and of faith unfeigned These are things required in the Law The grace of God which bringeth salvation to all men hath appeared teaching us that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world The Gospel and word of grace which Christ hath revealed to the world and confirmed by his death teacheth those things which are the substance of the Law and therefore Christ hath established the Law for a Rule by which his people are to act and walk As he which hath called you is holy so be ye holy in all manner of conversation because it is written be ye holy for I am holy The spirit of Christ in the
