III. That the holy Ghost is equal with the Father and the Son, these arguments do prove:1 §12The essence of the Father and the Son is communicated unto him; because he proceedeth from both, and is the Spirit of both: But there is nothing in God which is not his essence: Seeing then that is indivisible, it must needs be whole and the same communicated unto him, which is in the Father and the Son. As the spirit of man which is in man is of the essence of man: so the Spirit of God which is in God is of the essence of God. By this it appeareth, What is the proceeding of the holy Ghost; namely, the communicating of the divine essence, whereby the third person of the God-head alone receiveth the same and whole or entire essence from the Father and the Son, as from him whose Spirit he is: as also the begetting of the Son is a communicating of the divine essence, which the second person of the God-head alone receiveth, as a Son of his Father, whole and entirely the same which the Father hath and retaineth.
