5. Of whom the holy Ghost is given, and wherefore he is given.
1He is given of the Father and the Son, and also by the Son of the Father, but not by the Father: for the Father giveth the holy Ghost from no other, but from himself as who is of no other but of himself, neither worketh from any other but from himself: The Son giveth the holy Ghost from the Father, from whom also himself both worketh and is. That he is given of and from the Father,2 these testimonies do confirm: He commandeth them to wait for the promise of the Father. I will pour out of my spirit upon all flesh. I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter. 3The Father will send him in my name. That the holy Ghost is given of the Son, these testimonies do prove: I will send you from the Father the Spirit of truth. If I depart, 4I will send him unto you. Since he by the right hand of God hath been exalted, 5and hath received of his Father the promise of the holy Ghost, he hath shed forth this which ye now see and hear. Wherefore the Son also giveth him, but in this order, that the Son sendeth him from the Father; whence is gathered a strong argument for proof of Christs God-head: for who giveth the Spirit of God, and who hath any right or title unto him, but God? for the humane nature of Christ, so far off is it that it should have this right and power to send the holy Ghost, that contrarily it self was hallowed and sanctified by the holy Ghost.
