To deny the Holy-Ghost, is a damnable error. And what el•e do all the ungodly in the world that will not be sanctified by him: This is the most palpable error that they are guilty of: They are baptized into the name of the Holy-Ghost as their Sanctifier, and yet they will not be sanctified by him: Nay some of them make a mock of the Spirit, and of sanctification. And some of them w• hearken to false deceiving Spirits instead of the Holy Spirit o• God.
