To this we may easily answer by the plain words of Christ, teaching us that the proper office of the holy ghost is, not to institute and bring in new ordinances, contrary to his doctrine before taught: but to expound & declare those things which he had before taught: so that they might be well & truly understood. When the holy ghost 1(saith he) shall come, he shall lead you into all trueth. What trueth doth he mean? Any other ⟨p. 430⟩then he him self had before expressed in his word? No. For he saith: He shall take of mine, and show it unto you. Again, he shall bring you in remembrance of all things that I have told 2you, it is not then the duty and part of any christian, under pretence of the holy ghost, to bring in his own dreams and phantasies into the Church: but he must diligently provide that his doctrine & decrees be agreeable to Christs holy testament. Otherwise in making the holy ghost the author thereof, he doth blaspheme and belie the holy ghost, to his own condemnation.
