Joel 2:29

And also upon the servants and upon the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.

Ver. 29. And also upon the servants] They shall be the free men and women of Jesus Christ, 1 Corinthians 7:22, by as full a measure of God's free and noble Spirit bestowed upon them as upon their masters and mistresses. The Trent translation hath it, upon my servants and my handmaids but there is no such pronoun in the original though it is true that all that have the Spirit are his; and the contrary, Rom 8:9 Eph 1:13 The scope of the text is, as Mercer well noteth to show that ut gratuitum et commune Christ beneficium, sic et spiritus, as the benefits of Christ are free and common to all his people, so is the Spirit. And surely, next to the love of Christ indwelling in our nature, we may well wonder at the love of the Holy Ghost, that will dwell in our defiled souls, and act in them as he doth. For there are diversity of gifts, but the same Spirit, 1 Corinthians 12:4, as the diverse smells of flowers come from the same influence, and the diverse sounds in the organ from the same breath.
