What ••e the Epithets which are ascribed to the same holy Ghost in the Scriptures?
1. He is called the finger of God. Luke 11.20. If I by the finger of God cast out diuels, by whom do your children cast them out? because the Lord doth manifest his power by himh 1.1.
2. Againe, he is called water: Iohn. 3.5. Vnlesse a man be borne a new of water and the spirit, he shall not enter into the kingdome of God. And 7.18. He that beleeueth in me as saith the Scripture, riuers of water of eternall life shall flow out of his belly. Now this he spake of the spirit, because it cooleth vs, it quencheth our spirituall thirsti 1.2, it watereth vs being emptie of all the iuice of life, and maketh vs fruitfull, it wa∣sheth away all the filthinesse of our hearts, and like water is poured into the beleeuers, as it is said, I will poure out of my Spirit. Ioel 2.28. and Esa. 44.3.
3. He is called fire, as Math. 3.11. He that shall come after me, he
descriptionPage 36
shall baptise you with the holy Ghost and with fire. From the effect, be∣cause he purgeth out all the drosse, inflameth vs to the feare of God, to loue and kindnesse both of God and our neighbour, and hath o∣ther effects like vnto fire.
4. He is called Seed, 1. Iohn. 3.9. He which is borne of God hath his seed in himselfe: because by his power, as it were by seed, the faith∣full are renewed, and are made new men, that being dead to sinne, they may liue to God.
5. He is called the annointingb 1.3, and the Oile of gladnesse: the speech being borrowed from the custome of annointing, which was vsed in time of the law, to signifie the fragrant smell and spirituall sweet∣nesse of the gifts of the spirit.
