How is that?
Thus;1 The Holy Ghost comforts us with reasons from Christ, he dyed and hath reconciled us to God, therefore now God is at peace with thee. Here the Holy Ghost takes a ground of comfort from the death of Christ. When the Holy Ghost would raise a man up to holiness of life, he tells him, Christ thy Saviour and Head is quickened, and is now in Heaven, therefore we ought to rise to holiness of life. If the Holy Ghost be to work either comfort or grace, or any thing, he not only doth the same thing that he did first in Christ, but he doth it in us by reasons from Christ, by grounds fetched from Christ, the Holy Ghost tells our souls that God loves Christ first, and he loves us in Christ, and that we are those that God gave ⟨p. 42⟩Christ for, that we are those that Christ makes intercession for in Heaven, the Holy Ghost witnesseth to us the love of the Father, and the Son, and so he fetcheth from Christ whatsoever he works.
