Spirit of Christ distinct from the Saints

Pr. He saith,  Though we believe that the spirit of Christ dwells in the Saints, yet we assert the spirit of Christ to be distinct from the Saints, &c.

Answ. How are they led by the spirit, how are they led into all truth? And how are they sanctified by the spirit, and their unity in the spirit? By which spirit they have unity with God; by which spirit the Saints worship him. And he that is joined to the Lord is one spirit; he that hath not the spirit of Christ is none of his. And so they are distinct from it; but they are not so that have it, and are in unity with it, and one with another with God.
