[T]he Spirit of the Lord it is given to us usually in holy community. The Holy Ghost fell upon them in the Acts when they were gathered together, Acts 4:31; and surely we never find sweeter motions of the Spirit than now, when we are gathered at such times, about holy business, as [the Sabbath] day. We never find the Spirit more effectual to alter and change our souls, than at such times. ‘Where two or three are gathered together, I will be in the midst of you,’ Mat. 18:20, but by the Spirit, saith Christ, warming, and altering, and changing the soul. For God infuseth all grace in communion, as we are members of the body mystical. Those that have sullen spirits, a spirit of separation, that scorn all meetings, they are carried with the spirit of the devil, and of the world. They know not what belongs to the things of God. It is the meek spirit that subjects itself to the ordinance of God. The Holy Ghost falls usually upon men when they are in holy communion.​
