And hence the work of the Holy Ghost is distinguished from illusions, and delusions that are nothing but frantic conceits of comfort that are groundless. The Holy Ghost fetcheth all from Christ in his working and comfort, and he makes Christ the pattern of all, for whatsoever is in Christ, the Holy Ghost (which is the Spirit of Christ) works in us, as it is in Christ.
