ghost_n that_o be_v to_o say_v i_o that_o be_o a_o christian_a man_n do_v believe_v and_o trust_v in_o god_n the_o holy_a ghost_n the_o three_o person_n in_o the_o bless_a trinity_n which_o proceed_v equal_o from_o the_o father_n and_o the_o son_n be_v the_o natural_a &_o essential_a power_n of_o they_o both_o &_o of_o the_o same_o substance_n which_o spirit_n sanctifi_v &_o comfort_v i_o in_o

article_n we_o learn_v two_o thing_n first_o what_o be_v the_o holy_a ghost_n second_o what_o be_v his_o effect_n &_o work_n as_o well_o in_o itself_o as_o in_o man_n in_o who_o heart_n it_o work_v and_o move_v he_o forward_o to_o that_o which_o be_v good_a to_o embrace_v and_o follow_v it_o with_o all_o earnestness_n but_o to_o hate_v and_o abhor_v from_o the_o heart_n that_o which_o be_v naught_o and_o wicked_a this_o holy_a ghost_n or_o spirit_n be_v the_o everlasting_a power_n and_o infinite_a might_n of_o god_n the_o father_n which_o spirit_n be_v no_o creature_n but_o a_o creator_n of_o all_o thing_n and_o very_a god_n because_o we_o be_v here_o teach_v to_o believe_v in_o he_o which_o sure_o except_o he_o be_v very_a god_n be_v idolatry_n to_o do_v for_o we_o must_v not_o believe_v in_o any_o creature_n or_o put_v our_o trust_n in_o any_o but_o in_o god_n only_o and_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v god_n which_o certain_a heretic_n have_v deny_v it_o be_v manifest_a in_o the_o five_o chapter_n of_o the_o act_n of_o the_o apostle_n where_o saint_n peter_n speak_v of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n name_v he_o god_n for_o he_o reprehend_v ananias_n and_o sapphira_n his_o wife_n for_o their_o hypocrisy_n and_o dissimulation_n and_o tell_v they_o that_o they_o lie_v unto_o the_o holy_a ghost_n and_o immediate_o after_o say_v that_o they_o lie_v not_o unto_o man_n but_o unto_o god_n in_o the_o first_o of_o genesis_n it_o be_v say_v that_o the_o spirit_n of_o the_o lord_n move_v upon_o the_o water_n this_o be_v the_o three_o person_n in_o trinity_n which_o except_o he_o have_v be_v god_n can_v not_o have_v so_o move_v upon_o this_o great_a depth_n and_o secret_o by_o his_o power_n and_o majesty_n preserve_v and_o maintain_v it_o from_o fall_v to_o nothing_o david_n say_v all_o thing_n be_v make_v and_o create_v by_o the_o breath_n of_o his_o mouth_n therefore_o if_o he_o make_v all_o thing_n he_o be_v very_o god_n for_o this_o be_v proper_a to_o god_n alone_o to_o make_v &_o to_o create_v thing_n that_o argument_n of_o paul_n in_o the_o 1._o cor._n 2._o chap._n do_v sufficient_o prove_v this_o matter_n unto_o we_o where_o he_o say_v that_o this_o spirit_n search_v all_o thing_n yea_o the_o deep_a thing_n of_o god_n and_o that_o no_o man_n know_v the_o thing_n of_o god_n but_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n now_o if_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n know_v all_o thing_n search_v all_o thing_n they_o be_v he_o very_a god_n for_o no_o creature_n do_v this_o if_o this_o be_v so_o they_o we_o right_o believe_v in_o the_o holy_a ghost_n &_o here_o we_o gather_v this_o singular_a comfort_n that_o we_o may_v pray_v to_o this_o holy_a ghost_n at_o all_o time_n for_o his_o help_n &_o to_o impart_v some_o of_o his_o knowledge_n unto_o we_o

nor_o we_o be_v weary_a to_o hear_v it_o and_o when_o we_o have_v be_v there_o in_o these_o delight_n so_o long_o and_o so_o many_o thousand_o year_n as_o there_o be_v either_o sand_n in_o the_o sea_n or_o grass_n upon_o the_o whole_a face_n of_o the_o earth_n or_o star_n in_o the_o sky_n which_o all_o be_v inmunerable_a to_o we_o yet_o than_o we_o shall_v not_o come_v out_o or_o leave_v these_o joy_n but_o still_o it_o be_v with_o we_o as_o if_o it_o be_v to_o begin_v o_o the_o unspeakable_a mercy_n of_o the_o lord_n jesus_n that_o he_o have_v reserve_v for_o those_o that_o fear_v and_o love_v he_o here_o what_o man_n therefore_o be_v so_o foolish_a so_o mad_a so_o beastlike_a in_o his_o conversation_n that_o will_v not_o at_o all_o be_v move_v with_o these_o pleasure_n and_o joy_n for_o these_o thing_n as_o the_o angel_n say_v to_o john_n be_v faithful_a and_o true_a and_o therefore_o to_o be_v believe_v and_o they_o that_o believe_v they_o not_o their_o part_n be_v in_o the_o

about_o by_o all_o mean_n to_o defeat_v we_o of_o it_o and_o to_o pluck_v it_o out_o of_o our_o hand_n therefore_o we_o must_v lay_v hold_v on_o it_o as_o paul_n will_v timothy_n and_o fight_v the_o
