Spiritual Life
The Spirit, by way of infusing or shedding, gives power, and ability, a seed, a principle of spiritual life which the soul had no before ; and from this principle of spiritual life planted in the soul, flows or springs those spiritual motions, and operations, (as the Spirit leads them out) according to the it or principle of the new creation, the divine nature, the spiritual life infused...Clocks have their motions, but they are not motions of life, because they have no principles of life within.
