Moreover the virtue or effect and operation of the holy ghost, is here also set forth & declared gallantly.1 For first he lighteneth, when he illumineth the obedient, and feareth the rebels with sore threatenings. Secondly he thundereth, what time he inveigheth against this ungracious world, & reproveth the same of sins, thundering out the terrible judgements of God. Two Apostles in Mark are called the sons of thunder, or thunderers. He uttereth moreover wholesome voices of doctrine, exhortation and consolation, by men, for the favour of men. Finally where the operation of the holy ghost can not sufficiently well be expressed, yet by the seventh number he compriseth and accomplisheth his fullness, and sayeth, that seven fiery lamps are burning before the Seat, burning I say, not quenched, or smoking. For the grace of the holy ghost is bright and full of efficacy, whereof is spoken also before: and where these things are found in the Throne, how should any man think, that the judgements from thence proceeding should be in any part corrupt, defiled or to be blamed? by the holy ghost all things are preserved, and by his providence all things are wrought.
