Q. Why is the application of the work of Redemption, eminently ascribed to the Spirit?
A. In two respects: 1. In respect of the office of the Spirit.1 2. In respect of the manner of his working;2 for as his subsisting is from the Father and the Son, so his working is from the Father and the Son; and consequently, the consummation of things is especially ascribed to the holy Ghost.
