as before is said ; so do we assuredly beleve in the Holy Ghost,
whome we confesse God equal with the Father and the Sonne ; by
whose working and mightie operation our darkenes is removed, our
eyes spiritual are illuminated, our soules and consciences sprinkled
with tlie blood of Jesus Christ, and we retayned in the trueth of God,
even to our lyves end. And for these causes, we understand that
this eternal Spirit preceding from the Father and the Sonne, hath
in the Scriptures divers names. Sometymes called water, by reason
of his purgation, and giving strength to this our cori-u]Dt nature to
bring foorth good fruite ; without whome this our nature shuld
utterly be barren, yea, it shuld utterly abound in all wickednes.
Sometimes the same Spirit is called fyre, by reason of the illumina-
tion and burning heate of fyre that he kindleth in our hearts.
