113 The Synod of Nice set forth a creed, in which we say; I believe in the holy Ghost. But it is very manifest, that we must not repose our confidence in any thing that is created. And because in those days the contention was not much sprung up of the holy Ghost, there was nothing else added: but afterwards, when divers and sundry heresies grew up as touching him, 2then in the Council of Constantinople, which was the second among the four principal, many things were added to make this article plain. For we grant, that We believe in the holy Ghost, both the Lord & giver of life. By the particle (Lord) they make him equal unto Christ, who in the scriptures is commonly called Lord, which epitheton or addition, they would therefore to be expressed, 3because the Arians affirmed, that Christ was altogether a creature, but yet the noblest (they said) which next unto God was the chief. And they said, that the holy ghost was yet less than the son, and even his minister. Wherefore the Synod in place of Minister, put the title of Lord. The self-same thing did they in the particle; The giver of life: for they saw that it is written in John, that not only the father doth give life, but that the son also can quicken whom-soever he will; and so, least the holy ghost might seem to be excluded from this property, they added that particle. And that his Godhead might be the more manifest, it was added, 4that He together with the father and the son is worshipped and glorified.
