Wood. No man can believe that Jesus is the Lord, but by the holy Ghost. 1First to the Corrinth. the 7. chap. I do believe that Jesus Christ is my redeemer, and that I shall be saved from all my sins, by his death and bloudsheding, as Paul and all the Apostles did, and as all faithful people ought to do, which no man can do without the spirit of God. And there is no damnation to them that are in Christ Jesus: so is there no salvation to them that are not in Christ Jesus.2 For he that hath not the spirit of Christ, is none of his, but is a cast away as he saith in the same text. And again: We have not received the spirit of bondage, 3to fear any more, but we have received the spirit of adoption, whereby we cry Abba father. The same spirit certifieth our spirits that we are the sons of God. Here are proofs enough, that Paul was sure that he had the spirit of God.4 Also S. John saith: He that believeth not that Christ is come in the flesh, is an Antichrist, & denieth both the Father and the Son: which is sin against the holy Ghost, which shall never be forgiven in this world, nor in the world to come. Besides all this, He that believeth in God, dwelleth in God, and God in him. So is it impossible to believe in God, unless God dwell in us. Oh good God, what more injury can be done unto thee, then to mistrust that we have received thy holy spirit by thy gift? Thus may all men see their blindness, and whose servants they be, as they do declare themselves both by their words and deeds.
Wood. No man can beleeue that Iesus is the Lorde, but by the holy Ghost. 1First to the Corrinth. the 7. chap. I do beleeue that Iesus Christ is my redeemer, and that I shall bee saued from all my sinnes, by his death and bloudsheding, as Paule and all the Apostles did, and as all faithfull people ought to do, which no man can doe without the spirite of God. And there is no damnation to thē that are in Christ Iesus: so is there no saluation to them yt are not in Christ Iesu.2
