God the Holy Ghost, he says, completes the work of
Christ. Those who regard Him as a Created Being, as did the
followers of Macedonius, are thereby guilty of blasphemy and
impiety. The true Faith recognizes Him as God; and this belief is
necessary to salvation; yet some reserve must be employed in applying
that Name to Him. We must indeed insist on the recognition of His
possession of all the attributes of Godhead; and we must at any rate
bear with those who, like the Orator himself, also give Him the Name of
God, which he hopes all his hearers will receive from the Holy Ghost
grace to do. Then he proceeds to shew from Holy Scripture that in
fact all the Attributes of Deity do belong to the Holy Spirit; and that
His distinctive Personal Mark is that He is neither Unbegotten like the
Father, nor Begotten like the Son. He does not touch on the
question of the double Procession.
