Acts v. 3, etc.  Do they proclaim the Spirit God, or something else?  Now really, you must be extraordinarily dull and far from the Spirit if you have any doubt about this and need some one to teach you.  So important then, and so vivid are His Names.  Why is it necessary to lay before you the testimony contained in the very words?  And whatever in this case also As before in the case of the Son.  See above, Theol., iii. 18. is said in more lowly fashion, as that He is Given, Sent, Divided; that He is the Gift, the Bounty, the Inspiration, the Promise, the Intercession for us, and, not to go into any further detail, any other expressions of the sort, is to be referred to the First Cause, that it may be shewn from Whom He is, and that men may not in heathen fashion admit Three Principles.  For it is equally impious to confuse the Persons with the Sabellians, or to divide the Natures with the Arians.
