Sorry in that case for the confusion. I blithely collapsed that reference in the last para to the sealing of the Spirit, with receiving full assurance. Relieved to hear that tho as searching for the unusual bit in vol 8 was getting increasingly perplexing. He does mention Eph1 on p366 of vol 8 but I'll have to see if i can get a look at the commentary some time. A-ha. Sorry in that case for the confusion.

On the Spirit's sealing you'll need to read his commentary on Ephesians, esp. ch. 1, "you were sealed with the Spirit ..." Sorry for sending you on a wild goose chase.

Any hints as to chapter/s? Well, that’s even worse because i own that and (imagine that I) rely on it very much.

Any hints as to chapter/s?

Fascinating (brief) account of TG's personal spiritual history at the start. Somebody kindly lent me Goodwin's volume on the Holy Spirit a couple of months ago - which I read without being particularly startled by anything, but obv just from a layman's perspective so interested to see what kind of nuances I missed.

If not, let me know and I can give a few ramblings on Goodwin and assurance. Mark Cath,

What did Goodwin actually say about this, a sealing of the Spirit in later life? At the moment it's hard to know even what to raise eyebrows about - not that i'm asking with a view to abandoning what i think i think about Goodwin and assurance, but just in the spirit of filling out the details of the historical question.
