§ 2. II. The holy Spirit is the Justification of the Truth of Jesus Christ. He is Christ's Advocate and Witness to the World. He proveth the Gospel by these five ways of Evidence. I. By all the Prophesies, Types and Promises of Christ in the Old Testament before Christs coming. II. By the Inherent impress of God's Image on the Person and Doctrine of Christ: Which Propria luce showeth itself to be Divine. III. By the concomitant Miracles of Christ: Read the History of the Gospel for this use, and observe each History. IV. By the subsequent gift of the Spirit to the Apostles and other Christians, by Languages, wonders and multitudes of Miracles to convince the World. V. By the undeniable and excellent work of Sanctification on all true Believers through all the World, in all generations ⟨p. 262⟩to this day. These five are the Spirits Witness which fully justifieth the certain Truth, that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
