and in God by him and rely entirely on the mercies of God through Jesus Christ. From thence he shall come In the Clouds shining and adorned with the glory of his Father attended by millions of bright Angels with the voice of an Archangel and a shout of all the Heavenly Army the Trump of God and every eye shall see him and they that pierced his hands and his ●…eet shall behold his Majesty his Terror and his Glory and all the families of the earth shall tremble at his presence and the powers of Heaven shall be shaken and the whole earth and sea shall be broken in pieces and confusion for then he shall come to put an end to this world and To Judge the Quick and the Dead For

shall hear the blessed Sentence of absolution and shall be led by Christ to the participation of the glories of his Father's Kingdom for ever and ever Amen I believe in the Holy Ghost or the Holy Spirit Who is the third Person of the holy undivided ever-blessed Trinity which I worship and adore and admire but look upon with wonder and am not in a capacity to understand I believe that the Holy Spirit into whose name as of the Father and the Son I was baptized is the heavenly Author the Captain the Teacher and the Witness of all the Truths of the Gospel that as the Father sent the Son so the Son from Heaven sent the holy Spirit to lead the Church into all truth to assist us in all Temptations and to help us in the purchase of all Vertue This Holy Spirit proceeds from the Father and our Lord Jesus received him from his Father and sent him into the world who receiving the things of Christ and declaring the same excellent Doctrines speaks whatsoever he hath heard from him and instructed the Apostles and builds the Church and produces Faith and confirms our Hope and increases Charity And this Holy Spirit our blessed Lord hath left with his Church for ever by which all the servants of God are enabled to do all things necessary to Salvation which by the force of Nature they cannot do and we speak by the Spirit and work by the Spirit when by his assistances any ways imparted to us we speak or do any thing of our duty He it is who enlightens our Understanding sanctifies our Will orders and commands our affections he comforts our sorrows supports our spirits in trouble and enables us by Promises and Confidences and Gifts to suffer for the Lord Jesus and the Gospel And all these things God the Father does for us by his Son and the Son by the Holy Spirit and the Holy Spirit by all means within and without which are operative upon and proportionable to the nature of reasonable creatures This is he who works Miracles gives the gifts of Prophecy and of Interpretation that teaches us what and how to pray that gives us Zeal and holy Desires who sanctifies Children in Baptism and confirms them with his grace in Comfirmation and reproves the world and consecrates Bishops and all the Ministers of the Gospel and absolves the Penitent and Blesses the Obedient and comforts the Sick and excommunicates the Refractory and makes intercession for the Saints that is the Church and those whom he hath Blessed appointed and sanctified to these purposes do all these Ministeries by his Authority and his Commandment and his Aids This is he that testifies to our Spirits that we are the Sons of God and that makes us to cry Abba Father that is who inspires into us such humble confidences of our being accepted in our hearty and constant endeavours to please God that we can with chearfulness and joy call God our Father and expect and hope for the portion of Sons both here and hereafter and in the certainty of this hope to work out our Salvation with fear and reverence with trembling and joy with distrust of our selves and mighty confidence in God By this holy and ever-blessed Spirit several persons in the Church and every man in his proportion receives the gifts of Wisdom and Utterance and Knowledge and Interpretation and Prophesie and Healing and Goverement and discerning of Spirits and Faith and Tongues and whatsoever can be necessary for the Church in several ages and periods for her beginning for her continuance for her in prosperity and for her in persecution This is the great Promise of the Father and it is the gift of God which he will give to all them that ask him and who live piously and chastly and are persons fit to entertain so Divine a Grace This Holy Spirit God gives to some more to some less according as they are capable They who obey his Motions and love his presence and improve his Gifts shall have him yet more abundantly but they that grieve the Holy Spirit shall loose that which they have and they that extinguish him belong not to Christ but are in the state of reprobation and they that blaspheme this holy Spirit and call him the spirit of the Devil or the Spirit of error or folly or do malicious despites to him that is they who on purpose considering and chusing do him hurt by word or by deed so far as lies in them shall for ever be separated from the presence of God and of Christ and shall never be forgiven in this world nor in the world to come Lastly this Holy Spirit seals us to the day of Redemption that is God gives us his Holy Spirit as a testimony that he will raise us again at the last day and give us a portion in the glories of his Kingdom in the inheritance of our Lord Jesus The holy Catholick Church I believe that there is and ought to be a visible company of men professing the service and discipline that is the Religion of the Gospel who agree together in the Belief of all the Truths of God revealed by Jesus Christ and in confession of the Articles of this Creed and agree together in praying and praising
