1. Merely in respect of the things spoken themselves. So our Saviour here promiseth his Apostles, that the holy Ghost should bring to their minds by an immediate efficacy, the things that he had spoken, that by his inspiration they might be enabled to write and Preach them for the good and benefit of his Church. ⟨p. 274⟩So Peter tells us, 1 Ep. 1. 21. Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost; that is, in writing the Scripture. [Greek or Hebrew]; borne up by him, carried beyond themselves, to speak his words, and what he indited to them. The Apostles forgot much of what Christ had said to them, or might do so; and what they did retain in a natural way of Remembrance, was not a sufficient foundation to them to write what they so remembered, for a rule of faith to the Church. For the word of Prophesy, is not [Greek or Hebrew], from any mans proper impulse; it comes not from any private conception, understanding, or Remembrance. Wherefore Christ promises that the Holy Ghost shall do this work, that they might infallibly give out what he had delivered to them. Hence that expression in Luke chap. 1.
