25. But lest the objectors should think that
the Apostle was in error, let them learn whom he followed as his
authority for his belief. The Lord said in the Gospel:
“When the Paraclete is come, Whom I will send to you from My
Father, even the Spirit of Truth which proceedeth from the Father, He
shall bear witness of Me.” S. John xv. 26. So
the Holy Spirit both proceeds from the Father, and bears witness of the
Son. For the witness Who is both faithful and true bears witness
of the Father, than which witness nothing is more full for the
expression of the Divine Majesty, nothing more clear as to the Unity of
the Divine Power,
since the
Spirit has the same knowledge as the Son, Who is the witness and
inseparable sharer of the Father’s secrets.
