10. But the Holy Spirit also was given, for
it is written: “I will ask the Father, and He shall give
you another Paraclete.” S. John xiv. 16. And the
Apostle says: “Wherefore he that despiseth these things
despiseth not man but God, Who hath given us His Holy
Spirit.” 1 Thess. iv. 8. Isaiah,
too, shows that both the Spirit and the Son are given:
“Thus,” says he, “saith the Lord God, Who made the
heaven and fashioned it, Who stablished the earth, and the things which
are in it, and giveth breath to the people upon it, and the Spirit to
them that walk upon it.” Isa. xlii. 5. And to the
Son: “I am the Lord God, Who have called Thee in
righteousness, and will hold Thine hand, and will strengthen Thee; and
I have given Thee for a covenant of My people, for a light of the
Gentiles, to open the eyes of the blind, to bring out of their fetters
those that are bound.” Isa. xlii. 6, 7. Since,
then, the Son is both sent and given, and the Spirit also is both sent
and given, They have assuredly a oneness of Godhead Who have a oneness
of action.
