3dly. The Spirit doth it by the way of immediate
efficacy, Rom. viii.
11, “But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead
dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken
your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.” Here are all three
comprised, with their distinct concurrence unto our quickening. Here is
the Father’s authoritative quickening, — “He raised Christ from the dead,
and he shall quicken you;” and the Son’s mediatory quickening, — for it is
done in “the death of Christ;” and the Spirit’s immediate efficacy, — “He
shall do it by the Spirit that dwelleth in you.” He that desires to see
this whole matter farther explained, may consult what I have elsewhere
written on this subject. And thus is the distinct communion whereof we
treat both proved and demonstrated.
