VERS. III.

〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉▪

Calleth Iesus accursed.

VERY many Jews, that were Magicians, Exorcists, Conjurers, wandred up and down, who boasted that they were endued with the Holy Ghost, taught much, and did miracles; and yet called our Lord Jesus Anathema. But be ye certain, saith Apostle, that these men neither speak, nor act, nor are acted by the Spirit of God: For no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed. On the other part also, the whole Jewish Nation indeed denyed, that the Holy Ghost was given to the Gentiles. The Holy Ghost, say they, dwells not upon any without the land of Israel a 1.1. Hence is that, Act. X. 45. The believers that were of the Circumcision were astonished, that even upon the Gen∣tiles had been poured out the gift of the Holy Ghost.

But, saith the Apostle, when the Gentiles confess Jesus is the Lord, they do not this but by the Holy Ghost. And so he instructs Christians, that they be not deceived by the crafty and magical Spirits of the Jews; and in like manner he stops the mouth of the Jews, that they should not deny the Holy Spirit to be bestowed upon the Gentile Christians.
