of chri.ft in all Beleevers. Secondly. IfChrifl be really united unto a beleever, un- 2. to all beleevers by his Spirit, Then his love mull needs be infinite towards beleevers. if that his Graces onlywere in them,he would love them ; becaufe thereby they fhouldbe made like unto him : but now, ifhis own Spirit be in a be- leever, then his love mutt needs be infinite unto a beleever, and a beleevers love infinite to him again in his way. This is a great and glorious l'riviledge. Thirdly. IfChrift be really in a beleever, really united 3 to each beleever by his Spirit; Then a beleever, knowing this, may fay, I have now Comwhat more, than any Hypo- crite canattain unto.

But where do ye find in all the Scripture, that the Lord Chrift is faid to be in an Hypocrite ? An Hypocrite is laid to Repent,to Beleeve, to receive theWord with joy, and to be SanEtified , in a large fence : but where doye find in al the Bible,of any Hypocrite, that Chrift is faid to be in hirn,re- ally united unto an Hypocrite ? No, this is the great Pri viledge of a beleever only, Chrift in you the hope of coi.i .27 Glory. Fourthly. IfJeCus Chrift be really unitedunto each be- 4 Icever,
