Fourthly. These cautions being premised, I say that we are
distinctly to worship the Holy Ghost. As it is in the case of
faith in respect of the Father and the Son, John xiv.
1, “Believe in God, believe also in me,” — this extends itself
no less to the Holy Ghost. Christ called the disciples for the acting of
faith on him, he being upon the accomplishment of the great
work of his mediation; and the Holy Ghost, now carrying on the work of his
delegation, requireth the same. And to the same purpose are their distinct
operations mentioned: “My Father worketh hitherto, and I work.” Now, as
the formal reason of the worship of the Son is not his mediation, but his
being God (his mediation being a powerful motive thereto), so the
formal reason of our worshipping the Holy Ghost is not his being
our comforter, but his being God; yet his being our comforter
is a powerful motive thereunto.
