ytm^'*  completely  destroys  each  prosopopeia:  the
first,  "  he  shall  receive^'*  is  improper  of  God ;  and  is
certainly  not  Christ j  because  he  is  speaking  of  ano-
ther ;  neither  is  it  the  person  to  whom  he  shall  shew
it ;  for  it  would  be  absurd  to  say,  "  Saint  Peter  shall
shew  to  Saint  Peter."  The  Holy  Ghost  then  is  ma-
nifestly a  Person^  distinct  from  the  person  of  the
Father,  and  distinct  from  the  person  of  the  Apostle
in  whom  He  worketh;  and  hence  has  a  proper
Personality.  Neither  are  such  expressions,  as
sometimes  are  said  to  be  repugnant  to  the  person-
ality of  the  Holy  Ghost,  acttmlly  so :  as,  that  the
Holy  Spirit  "  is  given ;"  for  so  is  the  Son  said  to  be
given, — ^^  God  gave  his  only  begotten  Son."  And
as  to  those  that  are  repugnant,  we  acknowledge  that
the  operations  of  the  Spirit  have  sometimes  the
name  of  the  Spirit;  but  yet  this  does  not  at  all
make  against  our  argument,  since  we  have  shewn
that  there  are  many  other  passages  in  Scripture
which  would  be  utterly  absurd,  were  the  Holy
Ghost  not  a  separate  Person,  Hence  we  conclude
against  Jew  and  Socinian,  that  the  Holy  Ghost
is  not  simply  a  quality,  but  a  Person.
