To

Not
one

Nor
one
in

were
mixt

But
one

,
or
rather
one
spirit
,
that
is
more
,
the
self-same
spirit
dwelling
in

,
dwels
in
me
:
so
uniting
me
unto
him
,
that
through
his
manhood
from
his
Godhead
,
it
conveyes
,
and
I
receive

and

Q.
What
union
then
is
this
that
is
betweene
Christ
and
you
?
A.
The
nearest
that
may
be
imagined
:
for
there
is
an
union
,
first
,
of
linage
or
flesh
;
thus
many
kinsmen
are
one
.
2
Of
love
or
friendship
;
thus
many
men
are
one
,
Acts
4.
32.
the
soule
of
Jonathan
was
knit
to
David
,
and
this
union
of
Spirits
is
nearer
then
the
first
of
bodies
.
3
Matrimoniall
;
thus
man
and
wife
are
one
,
and
this
union
is
nearer
then
both
the
former
,
seeing
married
persons
are
not
onely
one
in
flesh
,
but
in
highest
love
and
friendship
;
besides
a
man
must
forsake
father
,
nearest
flesh
and
friends
to
follow
and
cleave
to
his
wife
.
4
Mysticall
,
thus
Christ
and
his
Church
are
one
by
a
nearer
union
then
all
the
three
;
for
Christ
is
not
onely
,
first
,
partaker
of
flesh
and
blood
with
us
,
Heb.
2.
14.
Secondly
,
We
are
his
friends
,
John
15.
14.
Thirdly
,
he
is
our
husband
also
,
Isay
54.
5.
Fourthly
,
But
also
he
is
our
head
,
and
we
are
members
of
his
body
,
of
his
flesh
,
and
of
his
bone
;
and
this
union
is
called
Mysticall
,
because
it
is
more
then
any
,
unconceivable
in
thought
,
and
unutterable
by
tongue
;
kinsmen
,
friends
,
and
married
ones
must
die
,
and
then
their
union
ends
.
But
Christ
hath
so
taken
my
flesh
as
never
to
be
divided
from
it
;
such
a
friend
as
not
life
nor
death
can
divide
me
from
him
,
whose
love
passeth
all
knowledge
and
time
,
loving
me
unto
the
end
,
and
after
all
;
and
not
onely
beloved
,
but
I
am
betrothed
and
married
to
him
for
ever
,
and
not
onely
betrothed
,
but
I
am
of
his
body
,
of
his
flesh
,
and
of
his
bones
,
nay
,
by
faith
I
eate
his
flesh
and
drink
his
blood
,
what
nearer
union
can
be
?
Q.
What
is
it
to
eat
his
flesh
?
A.
1.
To
apprehend
,
apply
,
and
partake
of
his
flesh
as
my
owne
,
as
the
meat
I
eat
is
mine
.
2
To
beleeve
that
I
am
truely
and
really
(
though
spiritually
)
united
unto
him
,
and
one
with
him
,
of
his
bone
,
and
of
his
flesh
,
as
the
meat
I
eat
becomes
one
with
my
substance
.
3
To
expect
in
faith
for
all
grace
and
growth
in
good
strength
in
his
services
,
quickning
and
comfort
,
and
eternall
life
from
the
flesh
of
Christ
:
as
the
meat
I
eat
maintaines
life
,
gives
nourishment
and
enables
mee
for
all
naturall
actions
,
so
doth
Christ
,
for
spirituall
bread
strengthens
mans
heart
,
and
wine
cheares
it
,
so
,
and
more
in
mee
doth
Christs
flesh
and
blood
.
Q.
How
shall
I
make
this
knowledge
of
Christ
effectuall

the
knot
fast
for

as

I
in

receiving

This
is

The
