1 Tessalonicenses 5:19

19 Quench not the Spirit.

Ver. 19. Quench not the Spirit ] In his motions or graces. See the canon for the fire on the altar, and observe it, Leviticus 6:12-13 . Confess here as Hezekiah did, 2 Chronicles 29:6-7 . And take the apostle’s counsel, 2 Timothy 1:6 . Stir up this fire on the hearth of our hearts; let the priest’s lips blow it up into a flame; despise not prophesying, &c. It may be quenched either by the withdrawing of fuel (neglect of ordinances) or by casting on water (falling into foul courses).
