in_o the_o same_o verse_n as_o to_o the_o manner_n of_o his_o operation_n he_o be_v §_o 3_o say_a 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d 〈◊〉_d he_o divide_v or_o distribute_v to_o every_o one_o as_o he_o will_n

§_o 4_o they_o speak_v with_o other_o tongue_n as_o the_o spirit_n give_v they_o utterance_n act._n 2._o 4._o he_o give_v they_o to_o they_o that_o be_v free_o whatever_o he_o bestow_v npon_n we_o

there_o be_v the_o counsel_n of_o all_o and_o each_o free_o therein_o thus_o in_o general_n be_v the_o manner_n and_o kind_n of_o his_o work_n in_o §_o 5_o we_o and_o towards_o we_o be_v bestow_v

thing_n propose_v to_o be_v explain_v as_o the_o foundation_n of_o the_o communion_n which_o we_o have_v with_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o effect_n that_o be_v thus_o send_v &_o thus_o work_v he_o do_v produce_v which_o i_o shall_v do_v not_o cast_v they_o into_o any_o artificial_a method_n but_o take_v they_o up_o as_o i_o find_v they_o lie_v scatter_v up_o and_o down_o in_o the_o

insist_v on_o those_o which_o do_v most_o obvious_o occur_v only_o as_o former_o so_o now_o you_o must_v observe_v that_o i_o speak_v of_o the_o spirit_n principal_o if_o not_o only_o as_o a_o comforter_n and_o not_o as_o a_o sanctifier_n §_o 7_o and_o therefore_o the_o great_a work_n of_o the_o spirit_n towards_o we_o
thy_o offspring_n that_o eminent_a place_n of_o zech._n 12._o 10._o be_v always_o in_o our_o thought_n now_o this_o expression_n as_o be_v know_v be_v take_v from_o the_o allusion_n of_o the_o

a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n and_o a_o spirit_n of_o consolation_n be_v here_o to_o be_v mind_v our_o receive_n of_o he_o as_o a_o spirit_n of_o sanctification_n be_v a_o mere_a passive_a

that_o it_o be_v the_o spirit_n of_o consolation_n or_o the_o spirit_n for_o consolation_n that_o here_o be_v promise_v be_v evident_a from_o the_o close_a of_o the_o verse_n where_o he_o be_v say_v
