Augustine in his epistle to Pascentius saith, 1that he doth wonder how it can be, that Christ, whose members we are, is believed to be God; and that the holy Ghost, whose temple we be, should be denied to be God; seeing the excellency of the Godhead is more proved in the latter condition, than in the first. The reasons which we have brought, do in part prove of necessity, ⟨p. 107⟩and do plainly show, 2that the holy Ghost is God. Others indeed be not altogether of such efficacy, but being joined with other things, do confirm the minds of the faithful in this truth; neither is there any of them, which the fathers have not some-where used. There might also be added other arguments of this sort, but with these we will hold our selves contented.
