4. The fourth thing is to prove that the holy Ghost is God, which W. P. also doth deny, and this also I shall prove from Scripture.
I. But Peter said, Act. 5. 4, 3. Ananias why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the holy Ghost, to keep back part of the price of the Land? &c. Why hast thou conceived this thing in thine heart? thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God. Him whom the Apostle calleth Holy Ghost in the 3d. verse, he calleth God in the 4. verse; and him whom he calleth God in the 4th verse, he calleth the Spirit of the Lord in the ninth verse. How is it that ye have agreed to tempt the Spirit of the Lord?

II. 1 Cor. 12. 4, 5, 6. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same spirit; and there are differences of Administrations, but the same Lord; and there are diversities of ⟨p. 33⟩operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. He that is called the same Spirit in the 4th. verse, is called the same Lord in the fifth verse; and the same God which worketh all in all in the sixth verse, and that what is spoken of Administrations and Operations in the fifth and sixth verses, is attributed to the Spirit, as appeareth by the seventh verse, where they are called, The manifestation of the Spirit given to every man to profit withal; and more plainly verse 11. But all this worketh that one and the same Spirit, dividing unto every man severally, as he will. And what can be more plain to prove that the Holy Ghost, or Spirit, is God, when he worketh all in all, and distributeth spiritual gifts unto men, according to his own good pleasure?
