Q. 16. Is there yet any further witness of the Holy Ghost?
A. Yes, IV. There was the Consequent Testimony of the Spirit by the Apostles, and other first publishers of the Gospel: Christ bid them wait at Jerusalem for this Gift, and promised them that when he was ascended, he would send that Paraclete, Advocate or Comforter, that should be better than his visible presence, and should lead them into all Truth, and bring all things to their remembrance, and teach them what to say; that is, to Enable them to perform the work to which he had Commissioned them, which was to go into all the World, and preach the Gospel, and Disciple the Nations, Baptizing them, and teaching them to observe all things that he had commanded them; which they performed partly by word, and partly by writing, and partly by practice, Baptizing, gathering Churches, establishing Offices and Officers: And he promised to be with them to the end of the World; that is, with their Persons for their time, and with their Doctrine, ordinary Successors, and the whole Church ever after.
