And the holy ghost where he is but one,1 for the sevenfold that is all manner of grace and gifts manifold, is here called, as I may say, Septenary or of the seventh number: And from the seven spirits saith John, that is from that spirit, which is endued with the sevenfold grace. Those diverse gifts are after a sort declared of Isaiah in the .xi. Chapt. and else where in the scriptures.

The holy ghost therefore is of the same glory, power, and majesty with God.

Those diuerse giftes are after a sorte declared of Esay in the .xi. Chapt. and els where in the scriptures. He is sayd to be in the sight of the throne that is before the throne of God, ioyned verely in gouernement with the father and the sonne. For the throne is many tymes vsurped for the kingdom. The holy ghost therfore is of the same glory, power, and maiestie with God.
