Much every way. For take a Peleever, and though Chriti be United unto a Beleever really by his Spirit ; yet notwithilanding, the Beleever is not Paid to be Affumed, the Spirit doth not Affumethe heart of a Beleever, as the fecond Perfon did ,Affutne onr flefh ; and thoughwe areu- nited untoChriti by the fpirit, yet not faid-to,be Affurned by the fpirit. Again, Though Chrift be really unitedunto each Belee- ver, yet it is no Perfonal Union, as theHypoflatical Union is. Aman is a Perfon before he is United founto Chrift by the fpirit : but now Chrifts Soul and Body, they were not a Perfon before United unto the Second Perfon : but the Soul andBody of Chrifi,and the fecond Perfon in the Trinitie United together make up one Perfon. I fay, that is a Perfonal Union, all making up but one Perfon. But now a Beleever, he is a Perfon beforehis Union with Ch rift by the fpirit ; he is a Perfon, a Wicked Perfon, but he is a Perfon. Again, The Union that is between Chrift and a Belee- ver, it is in refpe&of the other Union, an Accidental U- nion, Chrift United unto the foul by Faith, by the inter- vening of Grace and Accidents. But now the fecond Perfon wasUnited unto our Nature, and unto our Flefh, not by the intervening of any Grace, or any Accident, but their Subftance was United unto Subflance by the Se- cond Perfon. I fay, it was not an Unionby the interve- ningof any Grace : for though all graces were in Chrift, yet the union of the fecondPerfon to our uiefh, is not by the intervening of any Grace, Faith or the like : but now our union to Chrift is by the intervening of Grace, (of faith) and fo this union is but an Accidental union in re- gard of that-.
