1 WE do in this Article confess, that the holy Ghost as being the third person in the Trinity, is to be adored and worshipped by the same faith and invocation, whereby, in the former Articles we have confessed, that the Father and the Son, being in order the first persons of the Trinity, are distinctly to be acknowledged and worshipped.
1 VVE doe in this Article confesse, that the holy Ghost as being the third person in the Trinitie, is to bee adored and worshipped by the same faith and inuocation, whereby, in the former Articles wee haue confessed, that the Father and the Son, beeing in order the first persons of the Trinitie, ar distinctly to be acknowledged and worshipped.
2 The holy Ghost in this place doth signify, that essential power, who is essentially subsisting in the Father and the Son, proceeding and distinguished equally from them both, in regard of the manner of his being: but in respect of his essence, absolutely considered, he is GOD, having that Deity which is not derived by propagation from an other Godhead, but is one, most single, and of himself.
2 The holy Ghost in this place doth signifie, that essentiall power, who is essentially subsisting in the Father and the Son, proceeding and distinguished equally from them both, in regard of the manner of his being: but in respect of his essence, absolutely considered, hee is GOD, hauing that Deitie which is not deriued by propagation from an other Godhead, but is one, most single, and of himselfe.
3 Now, seeing the Father neither can be separated from his Co-eternal and Co-essential wisdom, neither co-essential power, who is the holy Ghost, can be severed from that wisdom, but doth depend of the Father, and of his wisdom: there is no question to be made, but that he doth proceed from the Father and the Son, as from one cause.
