35.8 although a fool if he walks therein cannot err 2. How shall this way be known It is to be known by the Revelation of the Son Mat. 11.17 John 3.35 Gal. 1.16 to whom all things are delivered which Revelation is in us by vertue of the Eternal and Holy Spirit of Truth 3. How shall the Spirit of Truth be known from the Spirit of Error It may be known according to that direction delivered in the Holy Scriptures by this may the Spirit of Truth be known from the Spirit of Error Joh. 16.8.13 because it reproves the world of sin so when any one finds in himself the Convictions and Reproofs of sin let him know it is by the discovery of the Spirit of Truth which Spirit will guide and lead all them that follow it into all Truth when I tell a lye that which discovers this to me is the Holy Spirit if I deal deceitfully Rob Murther or be tempted to any of these things that which discovers and reproves these things is this Holy Spirit by which if we suffer our selves to be guided we shall be lead and guided out of those things and gradatim as we become obedient to the motions thereof we shall be able with the Apostle Paul to say 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Plusquam victores sumus we are more than Conquerours Rom. 8.13.14 37. The knowledg of this then is that which leads to the knowledge of God and is that by which the deeds of the Body are to be mortified Gal. 4.5.6 7. and by which we also witness the Adoption of Sons 4. By what other names is this Spirit of Truth known or called It is called the Grace of God which bringeth Salvation teaching us Tit. 2.11 that denying ungodliness and worldly lusts we should live soberly righteously and godly in this present world John 14.26 It is called the Holy Ghost which shall teach us all things Joh. 16.8 The Comforter which shall reprove the world of sin of Righteousness and of Judgment 1 Joh. 2.27 The Anointing which is in us and abideth with us that no man need to teach us John 1.9 The Light which lighteth every man which cometh into the world Christ formed in us Gal. 4.19 when it comes to rule and have dominion in us and by many other names according to the state condition and growth of the Soul therein Isai 4.4 as the Spirit of Judgment and Burning when it comes to purge purifie and cleanse the Soul and destroy the sin thereof Jud. 24.25 A Saviour when it has Redeemed and keep the Soul not only out of sin but also from falling Mat. 1.21 The Breasts of Consolation when the Creature through obedience comes to witness a new Birth and to lie down in the will of the Father Isa 66.9.10.11.12 and is made partaker of the dayly incomes of the Spirit of Life in satisfaction and enjoyment thereof and by many other the like names 5. Have all men received a measure hereof Yea All men have received a portion thereof Isa 52.10 Ps 98.2.3 some one Talent some two and some five more or less according to the good pleasure of the the Giver Luk. 3.6 This Grace the Apostle Paul saith 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Tit. 2.11 Apparavit omnibus hominibus 1 Cor. 12.7 hath appeared unto all men and it was given to them to profit withal Eph. 3.12 that when they come before the Judgment Seat of God Rom. 1.19 20. they might either appear with boldness or be left without excuse 6. If all men have received thereof what is the reason that all are not saved by it or is it insufficient It is not insufficient but is the power of God to Salvation Isa 63.10 but the reason why all men are not saved by it 1 Tim. 1.19 is because they refuse its reproofs and will have none of its Instruction but making shipwrack of Faith and a good Conscience turn the grace of God into wantonness upon whom God shall not be slack Eph. 5.5 6. but render Vengance in flames of fire whose destruction is just 7. What do's this Holy Spirit teach us It Teaches us to know and fear the Lord our God and to love and obey him all the days of our Lives the knowledge of whom is life Eternal and the fear of whom is to depart from evil which is the beginning of Wisdome the love of whom is peace and joy in the Holy Ghost and the obedience to whom gives us the fulness of an assureance for ever more 8. What do's the knowledge of God teach us It teaches us the knowledg of the Son of God Luk. 1.27.31 which in the fulness of time was conceived of the Holy Ghost and born of a Virgin and made in all things like unto us sin only excepted Gal. 1.51.16 For so the Apostle Paul saith when it pleased God to reveal his Son in him 9. By what ways and means do's God usually reveal his Son to the Sons of Men Various ways sometimes by the immediate Inspiration of his Spirit Isa 7.14 and so he revealed him to his Prophets of old that he should come Mat. 1.23 and how and after what manner sometimes by the mouths of his Servants the Prophets and so them which received their Testimony by the witness of the Spirit of God in themselves Heb. 1.1 came also through faith to look to him which was to be after made manifest in flesh Luk. 2.26.30 To others by his real appearance in flesh according to the many faithful promises of God who having purged our sins Heb. 1.3 is set down on the right hand of the Majesty on high Joh. 1.14 And lastly to us by the witness of the holy Record the Scriptures of Truth by which we know he is come Luk. 2.7 and that he has given us a dispensation of the Spirit of Truth Mat. 2.1 even the Anointing which shall teach us all things 1 Cor. 12.7 which holy Unction beareth witness to that Record 1 John 2.27 whereby we know it is Truth which twofold cord we think is not easily broken 10. Why did God leave that Record amongst us Because it was his good pleasure 2 Tim. 3.16 to teach us and inform us and to direct us to his holy Spirit which gave that forth that by it we might be lead and guided into all truth and for the same reason that he gave some Apostles and some Prophets and some Evangelists and some Pastors and Teachers Eph. 4.11 12 13 14. for the perfecting of the Saints for the work of the Ministry for the edifying of the body of Christ till we all come into the Unity of the Faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God unto a perfect man unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ 11.
