of chriff in all Veleevers. 79 Thirdly. You mull know, There is a Two-fold In-be- ing. One whereby Effences are applyed unto each other; and another, whereby Effences are mixt together. Ile make it as plain as I can, thus : Ye fee in a heapof Stone, and Wheat, they both make but one heap : and the Stone may fay, I am in this heap, and theWheat may fay, I am in this heap ; but the Stonecannot fay, I am the Wheat ; nor the Wheat cannot fay I am the Stone: Why ? becaufe though they be united, and joyned together in one heap, it is by way of Application of one Eflenceunto another, one being appll,d unto another. But now, take Water and Wine, nod mingle them together,and there every part may fay,I am 'krt, ater, and I amWine : Why ? becaufe there is an Union by way ofMixture. Now there is a great Union between Chrift and a Beleeving foul : yet a beleeving foul though he be really united to Chrift by the Spirit, cannot fay, I amChriti, or I am the Spirit : Why ? becaufe it is an Union by way of Application,and not by way ofMixture, as Wineand Water mingled together : if it were an Union by way ofEffences, then a beleever might fay,I amChrifl, and I am the Spirit : but it is an Unionby way of Applica- tion, a beleever being applied to Chrift, and Chrift appli- ed unto a beleever. Fourthly. You mull know this, That there is a great- deal of difference between the In-beingofa Spiritual thing in a Material ; and the In-being of one Material, or Cor- porial thing in another. I than make it as plain as I can, and it will be of concernment to you. Take it body now, and let that be mixt with another, and each part may fay, I am that which I am joyned to : but take the Spirit, or a Spiritual Being, and let that be mixt with a moreMateri- al Being ; and then the Material Being cannot fay, I am the Spirit; and the Spirit, I am the Matter. As now ye fee in the great Union between the Sara, and the Body : the Soul is in every part of a man, totlintoto; the Soul ( faies the Philolopher ) is wholly in every part ; the whole foul of man being in every part of the body : yet notwithdanding, the.. 3. 4.
