On the Day of Pentecost, even the Lords Day, when they were assembled, this Promise was so far performed to them, that the Holy Ghost suddenly ⟨p. 45⟩1fell on all the Assembly, in the likeness of fiery cloven Tongues, after the noise as of a rushing Wind, and they were filled with the Spirit, and spake in the Tongues of all the Countries near them, the Praises and wondrous works of God. After which they were endued with the various miraculous Gifts of the Spirit; that is, the use of the Tongues which they had never learnt; the Interpretation of them, Prophesying, Miracles, healing all Diseases, insomuch that those that came but under the shadow of Peter, and those that had but Clothes from the Body of Paul, were all healed; the Lame and Blind cured, Devils cast out, the dead raised, some Enemies struck blind, some sinners struck dead; and which was yet greater, by their Preaching, or Praying, or laying on of Hands, God gave the same miraculous gift of the Spirit to others; and that not to a few, but ordinarily to the faithful, some having one such Gift, and some another.
