1They say also, that the holy Ghost is promised the Church, that it may teach those things which are not delivered in the Scriptures: as, But the Comforter, which is the holy Ghost, whom the Father shall send in my name, he shall teach you all things. And, When the Spirit of truth shall come, he shall lead you into all truth. But here they maliciously omit that which is added; And shall bring all things to your remembrance, which I have told you. 2Again, He shall bear witness of me. Again, He will reprove the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. Again, He shall glorify me,§1 for he shall receive of mine, and shall show it unto you. For out of these it is manifest,§2 that the holy Ghost should speak nothing, but that which was written in the Gospel, and Christ himself had before time taught his Disciples: so far is it that he should bring any thing contrary to them. For neither can he dissent from Christ, nor from himself. So also, when they allege that, I will put my law in their inward parts, 3and in their hearts I will write it: And, Ye are the Epistle of Christ, written not with ink, but with the Spirit of the living God; not in tables of stone, but in fleshly tables of the heart; they do not mark that the Spirit cannot speak in mens hearts contrary unto these things which be revealed in the Scripture: neither would God write any other law in mens hearts, but that which is already revealed and written; and that therefore the Apostle Paul opposeth not the matter written, but the manner of writing in tables and hearts one against another; because that the same was written in both: but there with ink, and here with the spirit of God. It hath less colour, which they go about to build out of that place; If you be otherwise minded, God shall reveal even the same unto you. 4If therefore, say they, the Church think any thing different from the written word, that proceedeth from the holy Ghost. For the Apostle comforteth and confirmeth the godly, that albeit they did not understand somewhat of that which there he had written, or were of any other judgement in it: yet that hereafter they should be taught it of God, and should know those things to be true which he had written.
