The B. of Sarisburie

Consider, M. Harding, notwithstanding ye evermore tell us of Fathers, Fathers, yet how contrary oftentimes ye are in judgement to the same Fathers. You say, that the Godhead of the Holy Ghost cannot be proved by express Words of the Scriptures: and thereof, ye say, ye are right sure. Yet S. Augustine nothing doubteth,¹ but it may well be proved by plain Scriptures. Thus he saith, Spiritus Sanctus est Deus. Unde Petrus, cùm dixisser• Ausus es mentiri Spiritui Sancto, continuò sequutus adiunxit, quid esse: Spiritus Sanctus: & ait, Non es mentitus Hominibus, sed Deo: ⟨p. 91⟩The Holy Ghost is God. Therefore Peter when he had said (unto Ananias) thou hast enterprised to lie to the Holy Ghost, he followed readily, and told him, what was the Holy Ghost: and said, Thou hast not sied unto Man, but unto God.
