2. Who, and what the holy Ghost is.
The holy Ghost is the third person of the true and only God-head, proceeding from the Father and the Son, and co eternal, co-equal, and consubstantial with the Father and the Son: and is sent from both into the hearts of the elect, to sanctify them unto eternal life. Here are we to say the same things of the God-head of the holy Ghost, which have been spoken before of the God-head of the Son: for this definition is also to be proved and confirmed by the same four parts:1 1. That the holy Ghost is a person. 2. That he is the third person, or that he is other and distinct from the Father and the Son. 3. That he is true God with the Father and the Son, or that he is equal to the Father and the Son. 4. That he is of the same God head with the Father and the Son, or that he is consubstantial unto both. All these that testimony of the Apostle jointly proveth: No man knoweth the things of God but the Spirit of God. 2Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of God, that we might know the things which are given unto us of God. Also that other else where: All these things worketh even the self-same Spirit, 3distributing to every man severally as he will. But we will proceed to treat of each of these in their order.
