2. On this account, we are to pray the Father and the Son, §. 18 to give the Spirit to us Luk. 11. 13. your Heavenly Father will give his holy Spirit to them that ask him: now the Holy Ghost being God, is no less to be invocated, prayed to, and called on, then the Father and Son, as elsewhere I have proved; how then do we ask the Father for him, as we do in all our Supplications, seeing that we also pray that he himself would come to us visit us, and abide with us? In our prayers that are directed to himself, we consider him as essentially God over all blessed for evermore; we pray for him from the Father and Son, as under this mission and delegation from them. And indeed God having most plentifully revealed himself in the order of this dispensation to us, we are (as Christians generally do,) in our Communion to abound in answerable addresses; that is not only to the Person of the holy Ghost himself, but properly to the Father and Son, for him which refers to this dispensation.
