Sect. I.--_And as it has been universally to men, so it has been given them sufficiently--Those who resist it, quench it--Those who attend to it, are in the way of redemption._

Sect. II.--_This spirit then besides its office of a spiritual guide, performs that of a Redeemer to men--Redemption outward and inward--Inward effected by this spirit._

Sect. III.--_Inward redemption produces a new birth--and leads to perfection--This inward redemption possible to all._

Sect. IV--_New birth and perfection more particularly explained-New birth as real from "the spiritual seed of the kingdom" as that of plants and vegetables from their seeds in the natural world--and goes on in the same manner progressively to maturity._
