21. And wouldest thou be sure that by the
power of the Holy Ghost the Martyrs bear their witness? The
Saviour says to His disciples, And when they bring you
unto the synagogues,
and the magistrates, and authorities, be not anxious how ye shall
answer, or what ye shall say; for the Holy Ghost shall teach you in
that very hour, what ye ought to say Luke xii. 11, 12.. For it is impossible to testify
as a martyr for Christ’s sake, except a man testify by the Holy
Ghost; for if no man can say that Jesus Christ is the Lord, but by
the Holy Ghost 1 Cor. xii. 3. Μαρτυρῆσαι,
“to bear witness by death.”, how shall any man
give his own life for Jesus’ sake, but by the Holy
Ghost?
