the_o spirit_n search_v all_o 10._o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n it_o follow_v because_o he_o can_v be_v send_v as_o servant_n be_v by_o their_o master_n or_o ambassador_n by_o

further_o urge_v the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n therefore_o he_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n according_a to_o the_o manner_n as_o it_o be_v believe_v in_o the_o church_n of_o england_n the_o antecedent_n appear_v by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n john_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v 13_o come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v hear_v that_o shall_v he_o speak_v and_o will_v show_v you_o thing_n to_o come_v from_o whence_o i_o thus_o argue_v first_o he_o that_o do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o suppose_v another_o distinct_a person_n from_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v instruction_n but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o therefore_o he_o suppose_v another_o distinct_a person_n from_o who_o he_o have_v receive_v instruction_n therefore_o he_o be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n because_o he_o that_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n can_v suppose_v any_o other_o person_n from_o who_o he_o shall_v receive_v instruction_n second_o he_o that_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v suppose_v another_o person_n speak_v distinct_a from_o he_o that_o hear_v but_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v what_o he_o hear_v therefore_o he_o suppose_v another_o person_n speak_v distinct_a from_o he_o therefore_o he_o be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n because_o he_o that_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n can_v suppose_v any_o other_o person_n speak_v unto_o he_o from_o who_o he_o can_v receive_v instruction_n this_o be_v contrary_a to_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o true_a god_n the_o major_a proposition_n of_o these_o two_o argument_n be_v clear_a and_o certain_a the_o minor_a be_v from_o st._n john_n therefore_o 13._o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o true_o and_o proper_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o the_o church_n of_o england_n believe_v answ_n i_o grant_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v he_o be_v not_o of_o himself_o but_o of_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n however_o it_o do_v not_o follow_v but_o that_o he_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n but_o before_o i_o make_v it_o appear_v it_o be_v necessary_a to_o observe_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v sometime_o take_v for_o god_n himself_o sometime_o for_o a_o divine_a quality_n sometime_o for_o a_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n first_o he_o be_v take_v for_o god_n himself_o god_n be_v a_o spirit_n john_n 4._o 24._o for_o god_n be_v holy_a and_o a_o spirit_n it_o be_v evident_a that_o he_o be_v holy_a spirit_n and_o reciprocal_o he_o that_o be_v call_v holy_a spirit_n per_fw-la excellentiam_fw-la and_o without_o dependency_n be_v god_n for_o these_o term_n god_n and_o holy_a spirit_n be_v real_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n as_o likewise_o these_o follow_v eternal_a lord_n creator_n conservator_n they_o differ_v only_o in_o reference_n to_o the_o different_a effect_n which_o we_o apply_v they_o to_o god_n be_v name_v eternal_a because_o he_o be_v without_o beginning_n and_o end_v be_v call_v lord_n because_o of_o his_o power_n over_o all_o thing_n creator_n because_o he_o make_v they_o of_o nothing_o and_o conservator_n because_o he_o keep_v they_o from_o return_v into_o nothing_o and_o he_o be_v call_v holy_a ghost_n per_fw-la excellentiam_fw-la because_o to_o speak_v proper_o none_o but_o he_o be_v true_o holy_a and_o because_o he_o receive_v his_o holiness_n from_o no_o body_n all_o other_o creature_n whatsoever_o have_v their_o holiness_n by_o communication_n and_o dependency_n in_o that_o sense_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n but_o only_o per_fw-la intellectum_fw-la or_o in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o definition_n which_o be_v ascribe_v to_o the_o eternal_a father_n be_v different_a from_o that_o of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o the_o eternal_a be_v distinguish_v from_o the_o creator_n for_o although_o it_o be_v real_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n yet_o our_o understanding_n conceive_v the_o eternal_a otherwise_o than_o the_o creator_n in_o as_o much_o as_o the_o eternal_a be_v a_o be_v without_o beginning_n and_o end_v and_o the_o creator_n be_v a_o first_o and_o independent_a cause_n who_o produce_v all_o thing_n out_o of_o nothing_o therefore_o in_o that_o sense_n the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n we_o can_v say_v that_o he_o proceed_v from_o he_o because_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o one_o and_o the_o same_o thing_n shall_v be_v suppose_v at_o the_o same_o time_n exist_v and_o not_o exist_v exist_v because_o we_o conceive_v it_o to_o be_v so_o and_o not_o exist_v because_o in_o that_o instance_n of_o reason_n when_o we_o shall_v conceive_v it_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n it_o shall_v not_o be_v exist_v which_o be_v contrary_a to_o reason_n since_o there_o be_v no_o instance_n of_o reason_n wherein_o we_o can_v conceive_v the_o true_a god_n not_o to_o be_v therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o the_o aforementioned_a sense_n do_v not_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n second_o he_o be_v take_v for_o a_o divine_a quality_n as_o when_o the_o holy_a ghost_n say_v unto_o those_o of_o antioch_n separate_a 2._o i_n barnabas_n and_o saul_n for_o the_o work_n whereunto_o i_o have_v call_v they_o we_o must_v conceive_v it_o be_v god_n who_o speak_v these_o word_n but_o because_o god_n do_v all_o this_o by_o that_o power_n within_o he_o which_o be_v his_o spirit_n therefore_o these_o word_n and_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o that_o sense_n likewise_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v not_o real_o distinguish_v from_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o consequent_o be_v not_o proceed_v from_o he_o three_o he_o be_v take_v for_o a_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o the_o eternal_a father_n and_o that_o he_o be_v so_o be_v evident_o prove_v by_o these_o text_n grieve_v not_o the_o holy_a spirit_n of_o 3._o god_n whereby_o you_o be_v seal_v unto_o the_o day_n of_o redemption_n and_o by_o this_o to_o the_o roman_n the_o spirit_n itself_o make_v intercession_n 26._o for_o we_o

be_v certain_o a_o personal_a affection_n of_o which_o a_o quality_n be_v not_o capable_a we_o can_v understand_v what_o be_v a_o intercede_v person_n but_o we_o have_v no_o apprehension_n of_o

be_v ordinary_a in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n to_o find_v the_o like_a expression_n which_o be_v proper_a unto_o person_n give_v unto_o those_o thing_n which_o be_v no_o person_n as_o when_o the_o

be_v no_o person_n but_o belong_v to_o that_o person_n which_o be_v charitable_a because_o that_o person_n which_o be_v so_o qualify_v do_v perform_v those_o action_n according_a to_o and_o by_o the_o virtue_n of_o that_o charity_n which_o be_v in_o he_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n personal_a action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o be_v no_o person_n but_o only_o the_o virtue_n power_n and_o efficacy_n of_o god_n the_o father_n who_o be_v a_o person_n and_o do_v perform_v those_o personal_a action_n attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n by_o the_o virtue_n power_n and_o

to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n which_o can_v be_v ascribe_v to_o god_n the_o father_n as_o for_o example_n to_o make_v intercession_n be_v a_o
personal_a action_n and_o this_o action_n be_v attribute_v to_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o these_o 27._o word_n of_o st._n paul_n because_o he_o make_v intercession_n for_o the_o saint_n according_a to_o the_o will_n of_o god_n but_o to_o make_v intercession_n be_v a_o act_n which_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n for_o it_o will_v follow_v that_o the_o father_n shall_v make_v intercession_n to_o himself_o which_o be_v absurd_a because_o he_o that_o make_v intercession_n be_v suppose_v to_o be_v distinct_a from_o he_o to_o who_o he_o make_v intercession_n moreover_o to_o come_v unto_o man_n as_o be_v send_v unto_o they_o be_v a_o personal_a action_n but_o the_o comforter_n or_o the_o holy_a ghost_n do_v come_v be_v send_v as_o it_o be_v see_v by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n john_n when_o the_o comforter_n be_v come_v 26._o who_o i_o will_v send_v you_o from_o the_o father_n and_o if_o i_o go_v 7._o not_o away_o the_o comforter_n will_v not_o come_v unto_o you_o but_o if_o i_o depart_v i_o will_v send_v he_o unto_o you_o ergo_fw-la the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v ascribe_v in_o this_o place_n to_o god_n the_o father_n since_o god_n the_o father_n send_v but_o be_v never_o send_v and_o to_o speak_v and_o hear_v be_v personal_a action_n and_o both_o together_o attribute_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o they_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o 13_o those_o word_n of_o john_n when_o the_o spirit_n of_o truth_n be_v come_v he_o will_v guide_v you_o into_o all_o truth_n for_o he_o shall_v not_o speak_v of_o himself_o but_o whatsoever_o he_o shall_v hear_v that_o he_o shall_v speak_v now_o to_o speak_v and_o not_o of_o himself_o can_v be_v attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n since_o he_o do_v all_o thing_n of_o himself_o and_o to_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v can_v be_v also_o attribute_v to_o god_n the_o father_n who_o can_v receive_v no_o instruction_n from_o another_o see_v then_o the_o holy_a ghost_n speak_v and_o not_o of_o himself_o and_o speak_v what_o he_o hear_v it_o follow_v evident_o that_o he_o be_v not_o god_n the_o father_n neither_o a_o divine_a quality_n which_o can_v be_v say_v proper_o to_o speak_v and_o hear_v but_o that_o he_o be_v a_o person_n distinct_a from_o the_o father_n now_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o a_o person_n real_o distinct_a from_o the_o father_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n appear_v by_o these_o word_n of_o st._n peter_n for_o when_o peter_n say_v ananias_n why_o have_v satan_n fill_v thy_o heart_n to_o lie_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n he_o repeat_v 4._o the_o same_o question_n in_o reference_n to_o the_o same_o offence_n why_o have_v thou_o conceive_v this_o thing_n in_o thy_o heart_n thou_o have_v not_o lie_v unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n he_o mean_v there_o the_o true_a god_n as_o it_o appear_v by_o these_o word_n thou_o have_v not_o lie_v unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n for_o when_o he_o say_v thou_o have_v not_o lie_v unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n it_o be_v as_o if_o he_o shall_v say_v thou_o have_v not_o lie_v unto_o creature_n since_o man_n be_v creature_n but_o thou_o have_v lie_v unto_o he_o who_o be_v no_o creature_n and_o consequent_o unto_o he_o who_o be_v true_a god_n and_o if_o the_o holy_a ghost_n can_v be_v take_v sometime_o for_o a_o creature_n this_o proposition_n of_o st._n peter_n to_o lie_v to_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v to_o lie_v unto_o god_n will_v not_o always_o be_v true_a therefore_o st._n peter_n speak_v without_o distinction_n and_o without_o a_o limit_a sense_n it_o be_v to_o prove_v that_o this_o word_n holy_a ghost_n be_v never_o take_v in_o the_o holy_a scripture_n but_o for_o the_o true_a god_n moreover_o to_o who_o the_o divine_a attribute_n do_v belong_v as_o certain_o as_o they_o belong_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n he_o be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n because_o these_o be_v divine_a attribute_n which_o be_v property_n of_o the_o divine_a nature_n and_o none_o can_v be_v endue_v with_o to_o who_o the_o nature_n of_o god_n do_v not_o belong_v but_o the_o divine_a attribute_n as_o omniscience_n the_o sanctification_n of_o soul_n and_o the_o like_a do_v belong_v as_o certain_o unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n as_o they_o do_v unto_o god_n the_o father_n therefore_o it_o follow_v that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v true_o and_o proper_o god_n and_o consequent_o that_o he_o proceed_v from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n as_o it_o be_v declare_v in_o the_o symbol_n of_o nice_a obj._n the_o
