DOCT. IX. The Confirmation of the opinion fore-going: How close and near this union is.
FOr as in man, the soul which is one and the same and all in every part, as well in the head, and every particular member, as in the whole body together, causeth all the mem∣bers to be united, and grow together into one body under one head. So also by the power of Christ's Spirit which is one and the same in Christ, and in all the faithfull, it cometh to passe, that all of us being both in body and minde knit together into one Spiri∣tually, become one and the same body with Christ our head, one bo∣dy, I say, mysticall, and Spirituall; because it is connected, and com∣pacted together by the most secret bond of the same Spirit.
