Also, in our prayers to him for the carrying on the work of
our consolation, which he hath undertaken, lies our communion with him.
John prays for grace and peace from the seven Spirits that are
before the throne, or the Holy Ghost, whose operations are perfect and
complete. This part of his worship is expressly mentioned frequently in
Scripture; and all others do necessarily attend it. Let the saints
consider what need they stand in of these effects of the Holy Ghost before mentioned, with many such others as might be insisted on;
weigh all the privileges which we are made partakers of; remember that he
distributes them as he will, that he hath the sovereign disposal of them;
and they will be prepared for this duty.
