1But seeing the essence or nature of God cannot be taken, either from the holy ghost, or from the son, (for both of them is by nature God) how can they maintain their opinion, seeing it is expressly read in the scripture, that the holy ghost descended upon Christ in the image of a dove? 2If they shall say, that it was an angel, and not a dove that came down, 3they charge the scripture with an untruth: but if they confess that the holy ghost appeared together with that dove, 4what shall the let be, that GOD himself was not present with the fathers, in other types and similitudes also? This reason they can in no wise avoid, unless they should run into a plain heresy, (which I think they will not) in denying the holy ghost to be God.
