A discourse of the building, nature, excellency, and government of the house of God…

2. This is one Governor; and next in place, One called the Ghost, in Honour and in Grace No whit inferior to Him; and He Will also in this House our helper be. He ▪twas who did at first brood the Creation; And he's the cause of Man's Regeneration: 'Tis he by whom the Heavens were garnished, With all their host they then abroad did spread (Like Spangles, Pearls, Diamonds or richest Gems) Far Richer then the fairest Diadems. 'Twas he who with his Cloven Tongues of fire Made all those wise ones of the World admire, Who heard his Breathing in unlearned men, O Blessed Ruler! now the same as then! His work our mind is to illuminate With things divine, and to accommodate Us with those Graces, which will us adorn, And make us look like men indeed New-Born. For our Inheritance he makes us meet; He makes us also in this World discreet. ⟨p. 17⟩Prudent and Wise in what we take in hand, To do and suffer at our Lords command.
