spirit_n these_o truth_n be_v presuppose_v first_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o in_o we_o personal_o as_o the_o second_o person_n be_v in_o christ_n man_n we_o 1_o the_o spirit_n in_o we_o for_o then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o we_o shall_v make_v one_o person_n nor_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o we_o essential_o only_a for_o so_o he_o be_v in_o all_o creature_n nor_o yet_o be_v in_o we_o only_o by_o stir_v up_o holy_a motion_n but_o he_o be_v in_o we_o mystical_o and_o as_o temple_n dedicate_v to_o himself_o christ_n humane_a nature_n be_v the_o first_o temple_n wherein_o the_o

the_o spirit_n be_v in_o christ_n entire_o without_o any_o thing_n to_o oppose_v the_o spirit_n always_o find_v something_o in_o we_o that_o be_v not_o his_o own_o but_o ready_a to_o cross_v he_o three_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o we_o derivative_o from_o christ_n as_o a_o fountain_n we_o receive_v grace_n at_o second_o hand_n answerable_a to_o grace_v in_o he_o innocency_n how_o the_o spirit_n be_v in_o adam_n in_o innocency_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o adam_n before_o his_o fall_n immediate_o but_o now_o he_o be_v in_o christ_n first_o and_o then_o for_o christ_n in_o we_o as_o member_n of_o that_o body_n whereof_o christ_n be_v the_o head_n &_o it_o be_v well_o for_o we_o that_o he_o dwell_v first_o in_o christ_n and_o then_o in_o we_o for_o from_o this_o it_o be_v that_o his_o communion_n with_o we_o be_v inseparable_a as_o it_o be_v from_o christ_n himself_o with_o who_o the_o spirit_n make_v we_o one_o the_o holy_a spirit_n dwell_v in_o those_o that_o be_v christ_n after_o another_o manner_n then_o in_o other_o in_o who_o he_o be_v in_o man_n how_o in_o carnal_a man_n in_o some_o sort_n by_o common_a gift_n but_o in_o his_o own_o he_o be_v in_o they_o as_o holy_a and_o as_o make_v they_o holy_a as_o the_o soul_n be_v in_o the_o whole_a body_n in_o regard_n of_o divers_a operation_n but_o in_o the_o head_n only_o as_o it_o understand_v and_o from_o thence_o rule_v the_o whole_a body_n so_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v in_o he_o in_o regard_n of_o more_o noble_a operation_n and_o his_o person_n be_v together_o with_o his_o work_n though_o not_o personal_o and_o though_o the_o whole_a man_n be_v the_o temple_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n ye●_n the_o soul_n especial_o and_o in_o the_o soul_n the_o very_a spirit_n of_o our_o mind_n a_o most_o suitable_a to_o he_o be_v a_o spirit_n whence_o the_o apostle_n wish_v the_o grace_n of_o christ_n to_o be_v with_o our_o spirit_n the_o best_a of_o spirit_n delight_v most_o in_o the_o best_a of_o we_o which_o be_v our_o spirit_n in_o the_o temple_n the_o further_o they_o go_v all_o be_v more_o holy_a till_o they_o come_v to_o the_o holy_a of_o holy_a so_o in_o a_o christian_a the_o most_o inward_a part_v the_o spirit_n be_v as_o it_o be_v the_o holy_a of_o holies_n come_v the_o holy_a ghost_n dwell_v not_o in_o we_o as_o in_o ordinary_a house_n but_o as_o temple_n the_o holy_a spirit_n make_v all_o holy_a where_o ever_o he_o come_v where_o incense_n be_v offer_v to_o god_n continual_o what_o a_o mercy_n be_v this_o that_o he_o that_o have_v the_o heaven_n of_o heaven_n to_o dwell_v in_o will_v make_v a_o dungeon_n to_o be_v a_o temple_n a_o prison_n to_o be_v a_o paradise_n yea_o a_o hell_n to_o be_v a_o heaven_n next_o to_o the_o love_n of_o christ_n in_o take_v our_o nature_n

that_o the_o holy_a spirit_n be_v in_o we_o after_o he_o have_v prepare_v we_o for_o a_o house_n for_o himself_o to_o dwell_v in_o comforter_n 2_o the_o spirit_n a_o counsellor_n and_o comforter_n

which_o we_o will_v unfold_v these_o four_o point_n first_o observe_v four_o point_n observe_v what_o it_o be_v to_o grieve_v the_o spirit_n second_o be_v wherein_o we_o special_o grieve_v the_o

the_o spirit_n for_o the_o first_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v proper_o be_v grieve_v in_o his_o own_o person_n because_o grief_n imply_v a_o defect_n of_o happiness_n in_o suffer_v that_o we_o wish_v
