Jehovah the Holy Spirit by whom it is that his Countenance and Favour is eminently lifted up upon his People Which may be intimated in the Communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all 2 Cor. 13. 14 c. And the application of Favour and Peace to the Conscience seems eminently the Work of the Comforter John 14. 26. Ye received the Word with joy of the Holy Spirit 1 Thess 1. 6. Who is called the Eternal Spirit Heb. 9. 14. And the fruits of the Spirit are Love Joy Peace Long suffering Gentleness Faith Meehness Temperance Gal. 5. 22. And he that works these surely must be God these and other Graces are wrought by the Holy Spirit and God is Love 1 John 4. 8 16. Love is the Essence of God and the Holy Spirit works Love Joy Peace c. in Believers for the Holy Spirit is Truth 1 John 5. 6 which I take to be also the Essence of God And those Fruits are not ascribed to Men or Angels but to God the Holy Spirit And the like Blessing to that in Numb 6. 22 23 24 25 26. from the Father Son and Holy Spirit is used by the Apostle The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with you all Amen 2 Cor. 13. 14. and is used or some like words by the Reformed Ministry of Christ and as I remember by the Romanists also at the conclusion of their publick Work every where And these Blessings may also be noted as Prayers to the Father and to the Son and to the H. Spirit which proves also their Deity And they shall put my Name my Name upon the Children of Israel and I and I will bless them Numb 6. 27. Which may note the Oneness of the Name Jehovah agreeable to that before Jehovah our Aelohim is one Jehovah Deut. 6. 4. and Jehovah is one and his Name one Zech. 14. 9. These Three Mightys are One. And for an Human Authority that the Father Son and Holy Spirit ar● one God and therefore to be worshipped I shall cite the First of the 39 Articles of the Church of England viz. There is but one Living and True God Everlasting without Body Parts or Passions of Infinite Power Wisdom and Goodness the Maker and Preserver of all things both visible and invisible and in unity of this Godhead there be Three Persons of one Substance Power and Eternity the Father the Son and the Holy Ghost And the late Assemblies Confession of Faith Chap. 21. Parag. 2. Religious Worship is to be given to God the Father Son and Holy Spirit and to him alone not to Angels Saints any other Creatures And the Declaration of those of the Congregational Perswasion of their Faith and Order Chap. 22. Article 2. uses the same words And the self-same words we find in the Confession of Faith published by the Antipaedobaptists Ch. 21. Art 2. To what has been said may be adjoyned that of the Lord Jesus whom the Disciples worshipped Mat. 28. 17. Go ye and teach all Nations baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit Mat. 28. 19. 'T is not said In th● names of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit but in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit shewing those Three to be One and their Name One which Name in which Believers in Samaria were baptised is said to be the Name of the Lord Jesus Acts 8. 10 and Cornelius and his Company were baptized in the Name of the Lord Acts 10. 48. Which Scriptures considered I think do shew the Father to be Jehovah the Son to be Jehovah and the Holy Spirit to be Jehovah and these Three to be one Jehovah and their Name one And the words Hallowed be thy Name Mat. 6. 9 I take to be the same Name and the Name of the Father is the Name of the Son and of the Holy Spirit No man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed and no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit 1 Cor. 12. 3. Gifts are ascribed to the Spirit differences of Administrations ascribed to the Lord Christ diversities of Operations to the Father 1 Cor. 12. 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11. See also some of the Fruits of the Holy Spirit before Gal. 5. 22 23. which Gifts different Administrations and Operations and Blessings and Fruits before mentioned considered with Passages in the Old and New Testament may help us to discern a little what is peculiar to the Father what to the Son and what to the Holy Spirit although as has been said there is an Oneness as in their Name so in their Operations We find Election is ascribed to the Father Sanctification to the Holy Spirit and Reconciliation and Justification to the Son 1 Pet. 1. 1 2 3. One Spirit one Lord one Father Eph. 4. 4 5 6. Which Mystery of God and of the Father and of Christ should be acknowledged Col. 2. 2. 1 Thess 3. 11 13. The comforting their Hearts in Col. 2. 2 is the Work of God the Holy Spirit the Comforter John 14. 26. The Holy Prophets spake as they were moved by the Holy Spirit 2 Pet. 1. 21 The Holy Spirit sent down from Heaven one of those things the Angels desire to look into 1 Pet. 1. 12. The Lord the Spirit 2 Cor. 3. 17 18. And that the Holy Spirit is Jehovah I think is also fully proved by Jeremiah He whom Jeremiah stileth Jehovah Jer. 31. 31 32 33 34 is declared to be the Holy Spirit Heb. 10. 15 16 17 and if Father Son and Holy Spirit be Jehovah then Christ the Son is Jehovah Numb 6. 25. And here I pretermit divers passages in Joshua Judges Psalms Proverbs and in the greater and lesser Prophets compared with the New Testament which seem to me to prove that Christ is Jehovah 5. Behold the days come saith Jehovah which seems to be Jehovah the Father I will raise unto David a righteous branch and he shall reign King and prosper and shall execute Judgment and Righteousness in the Earth In his days Judah shall be saved and this is his name whereby he shall be called Jehovah Tzidkennu i. e. Jehovah our Righteousness Jer. 23. 5. 6. And you have the like promise near verbatim in Jer. 33. 14 15 16. Which Jehovah Tzidkennu I think is Jehovah Christ whom Jehovah the Father would raise up unto David And Christ Jesus is made unto us Righteousness and Redemption 1 Cor. 1. 30 31 who was to make reconciliation for iniquity and to bring in everlasting righteousness Dan. 9. 24 where is a Promise of the Messiah the Prince v. 25 26 who by the Father was made sin for us that we might be made the Righteousness of God in him 2 Cor. 5. 21. Which Jer. 23. 5 6 33. 14 15 16 compared as above is my Fi●th Proof that
