the Holy Ghost upon the hearts of believers; which, if we might consider
them in their offspring, with all the branches that shoot out from them, in
exultation, assurance, boldness, confidence, expectation, glorying, and the
like, it would appear how far our whole communion with God is influenced by
them. But I only name the heads of things, and hasten to what remains. It
is the general and particular way of our communion with the Holy Ghost that
should nextly ensue, but that some other considerations necessarily do here
interpose themselves.
