Of Communion with God the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost

Let us then say weight on every Effect of the Holy Ghost, in any of the Particulars before mentioned, on this account, that §. 7 they are acts of his Love, and power towards us. This faith will do that takes notice of his kindness in all things. Frequently he performs, in sundry particulars, the office of a Comforter towards us, and we are not throughly comforted; we take no notice at all of what he doth. Then is he grieved. Of those who do receive and own the Consolation he tenders, and administers; ⟨p. 316⟩how few are there that consider him as the comforter, and rejoice in him as they ought. Upon every work of consolation that the Believer receives, this ought his Faith to resolve upon. This is from the Holy Ghost. He is the comforter, the God of all Consolation. I know there is no joy, peace, hope, nor comfort but what he works, gives and bestows; and that he might give me this Consolation, he hath willingly condescended to this office of a Comforter, his Love was in it, and on that account doth he continue it. Also he is sent by the Father and Son for that end and purpose. By this means come I to be partaker of my joy; it is in the Holy Ghost; of consolation, he is the comforter. What price now shall I set upon his Love. How shall I value the mercy, that I have received?
