Likewise the Spirit also helpeth our infirmities: for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the Spirit itself maketh intercession for us.—Romans, viii. 26.

Your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost.—I. Corinthians, vi. 19.

Every spirit as it is most pure,

And hath in it the more of heavenly light,

So it the fairer body doth procure

To habit in, and is more fairly dight

With cheerful grace, and amiable sight;

For of the soul the body form doth take,

For soul is form, and doth the body make.

Spenser.
