1A fruit of Christs resurrection is the gift of the holy Ghost, by whom Christ regenerateth us, and giveth us eternal life. It behoved him first to shake off death from himself, and afterwards from us: it behoved us to be engrafted into him, as into our head that from him the holy Ghost might be derived unto us. Wherefore, after his resurrection, he obtaineth the holy Ghost for us, and bestoweth it on us, and by the holy Ghost engrafteth us into himself, regenerateth and quickeneth us. Before time, the godly were also endued with the holy Ghost, and regenerated, but more sparingly than now in the New Testament, and yet both by the force and virtue of his resurrection, which was then to come. For the holy Ghost, by whose virtue and operation only we are regenerated, cannot be given but by the resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven. The holy Ghost was not given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.2

It behoved him first to shake off death from himself, and afterwards from us: it behoved us to be engraffed into him, as into our head that from him the holy Ghost might be derived unto us. Wherfore, after his resurrection, he obtaineth the holy Ghost for us, and bestoweth it on us, and by the holy Ghost engraffeth us into himselfe, regenerateth and quickneth us. Before time, the godly were also endued with the holy Ghost, and regenerated, but more sparingly than now in the New Testament, and yet both by the force and vertue of his resurrection, which was then to come. For the holy Ghost, by whose vertue and operation only we are regenerated, cannot be given but by the resurrection and ascension of Christ into heaven. The holy Ghost was not given, because that Jesus was not yet glorified.2
