7.  This Holy Spirit wrought in Elisabeth; for He recognises not virgins only, but matrons also, so that their marriage be lawful.  And Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost Luke i. 41., and prophesied; and that noble hand-maiden says of her own Lord, And whence is this to me, that the Mother of my Lord should come to me Ib. v. 43.?  For Elisabeth counted herself blessed.  Filled with this Holy Spirit, Zacharias also, the father of John, prophesied Ib. v. 67., telling how many good things the Only-begotten should procure, and that John should be His harbinger Ib. v. 76. through baptism.  By this Holy Ghost also it was revealed to just Symeon, that he should not see death, till he had seen the Lord’s Christ Luke ii. 26–35.; and he received Him in his arms, and bore clear testimony in the Temple concerning Him.
