He (the holy Ghost) shall teach you all truth. Io 16.
CONSIDER, that as the donation, and mission of the holy Ghost, were the effects, and fruites, of the passion, as∣cension, and noble tryumphe of Christ, wherin he ledd captiuitie it selfe captiue; and in all of them glorified his heauenly Father; so is that holy spirit sent to glori∣fie the sonn, by teaching, clearing, and
confirminge in the harts of the Apostles all that their diuine master had taught them belowe, and making these heauenly tru∣thes, by their ministerie, tho otherwise, as farre aboue the reach of reason, as con∣trarie to the bent of flesh and bloode, powerfully spread themselues all the world ouer, and become the familiar and fatte∣ning foode, not of wise onely, but euen Idiotes and children too, wherby they are made more learned, then the proudest Phylosofer that euer liued.
[Affection.] O the admirable goodnesse of the Father, sonne and holy Ghost, who so graciously reueales the mysteries of Heauen to vs litle ones in earth. The Fa∣ther sent vs his onely sonne to purchace vs that singular fauour at the price of his pre∣tious bloode, which he willingly and ioy∣fully vndertooke, to teache vs the secree∣tes of heauen. And the holy Ghoste sent from them both, so absolutly confirmes our hartes in the beliefe therof, that poore illiterate pesants, doe not onely knowe more then greatest Phylosofers, but are readie to laye downe their liues in confir∣mation of that truth.
