Vpon the Confession of Saxonie.
* 1.1 THat which is both here and elsewhere in this Confessi∣on, and now and then in the Confession of Auspurge, re∣peated, touching the shaking of and losing the holie Spirit, we take it thus, that it is chiefly meant of the gifts which are bestow∣ed, euen vpon those also which pertaine nothing to the Church (as in Socrates, Aristides, Cicero, and some others there shined certaine sparkes of excellent vertues) Second∣lie of those gifts also, which are bestowed vpon those that are so in the Church, that yet they are not of the Church, nor trulie regenerated by the Spirit of adoption, as may be seene in the examples of Saull, Iudas, and such others. For as concerning the spirit of sanctification, which is onelie in those that are trulie regenerated, it is neuer taken wholly from them; but onelie the force and working thereof for a time interrupted, whilst lustes doe beare swaie in the heart, euen as drunkennes doth not take awaie the minde it selfe, but onlie the vse of the minde for a time.
