What danger there is, if we believe not in the holy ghost.
What daunger there is, if we beleeue not in the holy ghost.
IF any believe not in the holy Ghost, he neither believeth in the father nor in the Son, and so manifestly believeth not in God: forasmuch as the father and the Son cannot be known and be believed of us, unless the holy ghost reveal it, who proceedeth from the father and the Son, and is of the same essence with both. 1. Jo. 4. ver. 14. So therefore we must determine: that if any man have not the spirit of Christ, the same is not his. Rom. 8. But if any know not the holy Ghost, neither also hath he it. John, 14. The world can not receive the holy Ghost, because it seeth it not, neither knoweth it. Therefore he that knoweth not the holy ghost, he is not of Christ. But you know him (saith Christ) because he abideth with you, and shall be in you.
IF any beleeue not in the holy Ghost, he neither beleeueth in the father nor in the sonne, and so manifestly beleeueth not in God: forasmuch as the father and the sonne cannot be knowen and be beleeued of vs, vnlesse the holy ghost reueale it, who proceedeth from the father and the sonne, and is of the same essence with both. 1. Io. 4. ver. 14. So therefore we must determine: that if any man haue not the spirite of Christ, the same is not his. Rom. 8. But if any knowe not the holy Ghost, neither also hath he it.
