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?
III. Isa. 6. 1. I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, &c. v. 2, 3. Above stood the Seraphims, and cried Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of Hosts. The three Holies signify the three Persons; the Lord of Hosts, the one God, ver. 8. I heard the voice of the Lord, ver. 9. And he said, Go tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not, &c. This must needs be spoken of God, and it is by the Apostle applied to the Holy Ghost, Act. 28. 25. Well spake the Holy Ghost, go to this people, and say, hearing you shall hear, &c.
