” Now since he” (Christ) ” has entered into his most glorious majesty, by sending down his Holy Spirit into us, (as he pro- mised) he lighteneth our dark blindness, moveth, ruleth, teacheth, cleanseth, comforteth and rejoiceth our minds, and so will he still continually do to the end of the world.” — Catechism.

” He hath commended the government and protection of his Church unto the Holy Ghost, the same God, and one God with the Father and his divine nature.” — Decl. of Christ.
” I believe in the Holy Ghost as a virtue and eternal power, which neither is made nor created, neither engendered, but proceeding of the Father and of the Son eternally, even as a love proceeding from both persons.” — Confession.
” The Holy Ghost is very God, because he is in many places at one time, which no creature can be. And forasmuch as the Holy Ghost is in many men at one time, therefore saith he (Didymus) the Holy Ghost must needs be God.” — Of the presence of Christ.
” Every man of knowlege, wotteth well that the Holy Ghost is not a dove, neither a wind, a tongue, fire, nor water ; for God is not a thing corporeal, neither a thing that can be felt, nor comprehended with outward senses.” — Fruitful Lessons.
” I unfeignedly believe with ray heart, and freely confess with my mouth, that the Holy Ghost is one and equal God in glory, majesty, power and might, with the Father and the Son, proceeding from the Father and the Son after an unknown and unexpressible manner. The Spirit of God and God himself is he, by whom God the Father through his Son Christ, and in Christ, worketh and quickeneth all things.” — Becon’s Sick Man’s Salve.
” 0 Holy Spirit, the third person in Trinity thy children
know that with the Father and the Son thou madest and rulest all creatures visible and invisible ; they know thee in their redemption to be no less willing and loving than the Father and the Son ; for thou didst always declare Christ to be the Son of God, and gavest testimony inwardly in the hearts of the elect to believe and embrace the same.” — On the Belief.
