The Work Peculiar to the Spirit, in Healing, and Restoring our Depraved Wretched Natures, by Making them Alive Unto God, and Sanctifying them in Likeness to Him.
圣灵特有的工作，在医治和恢复我们堕落卑贱的天性，使我们对神活过来，并按祂的形象成圣。
THE great and mysterious truth of the trinity of persons in one God, which is the foundation of our Christian faith, and which, though not contrary to our reason, is so much above it, that we could never have had a thought of it, if God had not revealed it to us in his word, is not a mere speculative notion, but a truth, in which the faith and practice of a Christian is concerned; insomuch as it is necessary that every one who is saved should believe that there are three persons, one and the same infinite, eternal God, blessed for evermore.
三位一体的一位真神这一伟大而奥秘的真理，是我们基督徒信仰的根基，祂虽然不违背我们的理性，却远在理性之上，以至于如果神不在祂的圣言中向我们启示，我们绝不会想到这一点；这并非仅仅是一个思辨性的概念，而是一个关乎基督徒信心与实践的真理；以至于每一个得救的人都必须相信有三个位格，即那独一且同一的无限、永恒、永受颂赞的神。
For how can we believe that God hath chosen any of mankind, to make them unchangeably and for ever happy; that the same God hath redeemed and doth sanctify these his elect, if we do not believe that this one and the same God is three persons, to whom these works, so necessary to our salvation, are in the holy Scriptures distinctly attributed?
因为，如果我们不相信这位独一且同一的神有三个位格，而这些对我们救恩至关重要的工作在圣经中又被清晰地归于这三个位格，我们又怎能相信神已经从人类中拣选了任何人，使他们永远不变地幸福，或者相信这位神已经救赎并正在成圣祂的这些选民呢？
How can we trust in the God of all grace, and his infinite mercies, and adore and love him for that great and indeed unspeakable love, in sending his only-begotten Son to die for us?
我们又怎能信靠这位赐下全般恩典的神和祂无限的怜悯，并因祂差遣祂的独生子为我们而死的伟大且确实无法言表的爱而崇拜和爱祂呢？
And how can we act faith on our blessed Redeemer, as having voluntarily come into the world to accomplish the work which his Father sent him to do, unless we have distinct thoughts of the person of the Father sending, as distinct from the person of the Son sent by him?
除非我们对差遣者的父的位格和被祂差遣的子的位格有清晰的区分，否则我们又怎能对我们蒙福的救赎主行使信心，相信祂是甘愿来到世上完成父差遣祂去做的工作呢？
And these persons are equally God; for any one inferior could no more have redeemed us than he could have elected or created us.
且这些位格同等是神；因为任何较低等的存在都无法像祂能预定拣选或创造我们那样来救赎我们。
But they are not so many several Gods; therefore they are one and the same God, equal in all perfections and glory.
但祂们并非数个不同的神；因此祂们是独一且同一的神，在一切完美和荣耀上同等。
The author hath discoursed of the work of God the Father in the second volume of his Works; and of the work of God the Son in the third, with great clearness of light from the Scripture, and consequently with as great a strength of evidence to every spiritual mind.
作者已在其作品的第二卷论述了父神的工作；在第三卷中，借着圣经极大的光照，并由此对每一个属灵的心灵产生了极大的证据力，论述了子神的工作。
In the discourses of this fifth volume he as clearly and evidently describes in all its glory the work peculiar to the Spirit, in healing and restoring our depraved, wretched natures, by making them alive unto God, and sanctifying them in likeness to him.
在这第五卷的论述中，作者同样清晰且明显地描述了圣灵特有的工作及其所有荣耀，即医治和恢复我们堕落、卑贱的天性，使我们对神活过来，并按祂的形象使我们成圣。
It is a work which demonstrates him to be true God, as well as the Father and Son are; for life is that which God only can give, and a creating power is as necessary to produce a spiritual as a natural life.
这是一项证明祂是真神的工作，正如父和子是真神一样；因为唯有神能赐予生命，且创造的能力对于产生属灵生命与肉体生命同样必要。
Nay, of the two it is more difficult (though nothing is so to God) to raise a dead soul than a dead body.
甚至，在这两者中，叫一个死去的灵魂复活比叫一个死去的身体复活更难（尽管对神来说没有什么是难的）。
It is also as much a work of God to make us partakers of the divine nature (2 Pet. 1:4), as it was to make Adam at first after his own image.
使我们有分于神的性情（彼后 1:4），与起初按祂自己的形象造亚当一样，同样是神的工作。
That none may think these truths to be merely niceties or abstruse controversies, and an inquiry into them needless, the author hath made, through all the discourses, proper and pertinent uses, naturally flowing from the doctrines; which may evince, that as all the truths of the gospel have in their own nature a fitness and a proper tendency to strengthen our faith, and to improve our holiness, and to make us not only wiser but better, so God hath revealed them as needful to be known by us for these purposes.
为了不让人认为这些真理仅仅是琐碎的细节或深奥的争议，且探究它们是没必要的，作者在所有的论述中，都作了恰当且相关的应用，这些应用自然地从教义中流露出来；这可以证明，正如福音的所有真理在其本质上都具有坚固我们信心、增进我们圣洁、并使我们不仅更聪明而且更敬虔的适应性和倾向，所以神启示这些真理是我们需要为了这些目的而知晓的。
And as the gospel is peculiarly suited to raise and tune our hearts to thankful strains and cheerful praises of our Lord Jesus Christ (and in honouring him we honour the Father also), so this doctrine of the work of the Holy Spirit in our salvation, which is pure gospel too, is adapted to excite us to give that glory to him which is due; and in honouring him, we honour both the Father and the Son.
正如福音特别适合激励并调整我们的心，向我们的主耶稣基督发出感恩的旋律和欢快的赞美（在尊荣祂时，我们也尊荣父），这关于圣灵在我们救恩中工作的教义，也是纯正的福音，旨在激励我们归给祂应得的荣耀；在尊荣祂时，我们也尊荣父与子。
I have given on the other side of this leaf a catalogue of the MSS. in this volume, that the reader may be satisfied that he hath all which I promised in the proposals; and also may see that I present him with several other discourses, which I did not offer in them.
我在这一页的背面给出了本卷中手稿的目录，使读者可以确信他得到了我在提议书中所承诺的一切；并可以看到我向他呈现了其他几篇我在提议书中未曾提供的论述。
I am,
我是，
Thine entirely in the service of the gospel,
尔在福音事奉中完全的仆人，

卷二：神带领选民经历的两个状态或境况：自然状态与恩典状态。新生是两者之间的通道，这证明了新生或重生的必要性。神为何如此护理，使大多数活到成年阶段的选民在祂更新他们之前，要在自然状态中停留一段时间。该教义的应用。

卷四：论圣灵在我们里面成就的工作，如在“为神所生”和“新生”的概念下所表达的那样，由此进一步证明了重生的必要性。论在我们里面所生的那物之本质，如约翰福音 3:6 在“灵”的概念下所陈明的那样。

That besides the Holy Spirit’s indwelling in us, and his motions and actings of our spirits, there are permanent or abiding principles wrought in our souls, which dispose them for holy actions, and give spiritual abilities for the performance of them. That this new creature is a change of the heart. That it is a conformity to the image of our Lord Jesus Christ
卷五：论圣灵在我们里面的工作，如在“新造的人”这一概念下向我们呈现的那样。即除了圣灵在里面的内住，以及祂对我们灵的感动和运行之外，在我们的灵魂中还有常驻或持久的原则被作成，使灵魂倾向于神圣的行为，并为履行这些行为提供属灵的能力。这个新造的人是心的改变。它是对我们主耶稣基督形象的顺服。
