Sect. 30 I suppose by all these Testimonies we have fully confirmed what was designed to be proved by them; namely, that the Holy Spirit is not a Quality as some speak residing in the Divine Nature; not a mere Emanation of Virtue and Power from God; not the acting of the Power of God in and unto our Sanctification, but an Holy Intelligent Subsistent or Person. And in our Passage many Instances have been given, whence it is undeniably evident that he is a Divine Self-sufficient Self-subsisting Person, together with the Father and the Son equally participant of the Divine Nature. Nor is this distinctly much disputed by them with whom we have to do. For they confess that such things are ascribed unto him as none but God can effect. Wherefore denying him so to be, they lay up all their hopes of success in denying him to be a Person; But yet because the Subject we are upon doth require it, and it may be useful to the Faith of some; I will call over a few Testimonies given expressly unto his Deity also.
