Even so may ye say, Balaam's Ass reproved his master, and spake the Truth, as Caiaphas did. Ergo, Balaam's Ass had the Holy Ghost. S. Paul saith, No man can say, The Lord Jesus, but in the Sprite of God. Hereof, by your Logic, ye may reason thus: The Devil said unto Christ, I know, that thou art Christ the Son of the Living God: 1Ergo, the Devil had the Sprite of God.
Euen so maie yée saie, Balaams Asse reproued his maister, and spake the Truthe, as Caiphas did. Ergo, Balaams Asse had the Holy Ghoste. S. Paule saithe, No man can saie, The Lorde Iesus, but in the Sprite of God. Hereof, by your Logique, yée maie reason thus: The Diuel saide vnto Christe, I knowe, that thou arte Christe the Sonne of the Liuinge God: 1Ergo, the Diuel had the Sprite of God.
It pitieth me, M. Harding, to see your follies. Although Caiaphas unawares, and against his will, by the enforcement, & power of God, at one only time spake words of Truth, as did also Balaam's Ass, and the Devil, yet it followeth not, that we should therefore at all times run to Caiaphas, to seek the Truth.
It pitieth me, M. Hardinge, to sée your folies. Although Caiphas vnwares, and against his wil, by the enforcemente, & power of God, at one onely time spake woordes of Truthe, as did also Balaams Asse, and the Diuel, yet it foloweth not, that wée should therefore at al times renne to Caiphas, to séeke the Truthe.
