Sect. 9 Again; He is called by way of Eminency the Holy Spirit, or the Holy Ghost. *This is the most usual Appellation of him in the New Testament. And it is derived from the Old, Psal. 51. 11. [Greek or Hebrew], The Spirit of thy Holiness, or thy Holy Spirit. Isa. 63. 10, 11. [Greek or Hebrew], The Spirit of his Holiness, or his Holy Spirit. Hence are [Greek or Hebrew] and [Greek or Hebrew], The Holy Spirit, and the Spirit of Holiness in common use among the Jews. In the New Testament He is [Greek or Hebrew], That Holy Spirit. And we must enquire the special Reasons of this Adjunct. Some suppose it is only from his peculiar Work of sanctifying us, or making us Holy. For this Effect of Sanctification is his peculiar Work and that of what sort soever it be; whether it consist in a separation from things Profane and Common unto Holy Uses and Services; or whether it be the real Infusion and Operation of Holiness in Men, it is from him in an especial manner. And this also manifesteth him to be God, for it is God alone who sanctifieth his People. Levit. 20. 8. I am Jehovah who sanctifieth you. And God in that Work ascribes unto himself the Title of Holy in an especial manner, and as such would have us to consider him. Levit. 21. 8. I the Lord which sanctifieth you am Holy. And this may be one Reason of the frequent use of this Property with reference unto the Spirit.
