The holy Ghost, is the third person, proceeding from the Father and the Sonne. Joh. 15. 26. But when the Comforter shall come, whom I will send unto you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, which proceedeth of the Father, he shall testify of me. Rom. 8. 9. But ye are not in the flesh, but in the spirit, seeing the spirit of God dwelleth in you. But if there be any that hath not the spirit of Christ, he is not his. Joh. 16.13,14. But when the Spirit of truth shall come, he shall conduct you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he heareth, he shall speak, and shall declare unto you such things as are to come. He shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine, and show it unto you.
