IN ancient days it ^ ras a subj ect of grave disctesion among the fathers of the church , h ( xw it should happen that the Holy Spftrit , who is ^ he third person in the Tridity , of the same substance and equal im power atid giory both , with the Father atid the Son , should be so litfcie noticed in the New
Testament , aad that no actof ^ froTshif ) , not even a single dabttdt > gy > should be addressed to him . This cbntrbversy however , xcnlibe tb many others , was , fortunately , soon set at rest , by the very natursd soggestiok , that the Holy Spirit being the author of the book , he could Hot , consistently witjh pto priety and cfecorum , say much concerning himself , and especially m his own praise . Happily , now ever , for us , who live in tnese latter days , this
deficiency in the sacred records is abun « dandy made up > by the pious and learned hicubrations of the reverend Reginald Heber , M . A . and Hector of Hodaey , who , in a series of discaurates latel y delivered before the Ifeiver ^ ty of Oxford , at the Bampto ^ l ^ ecUite , has communicated all which it is
necessary for orthodox Christians to know and believe concernipng . ihe Holy Spirit , and which , from discretion or other considepatioTis , the Holy Spirit has not thought * fit to reveal concerhing himself . - In truth , Sir , it is so clearly the doctrine of the New Testament , that the
S p irit of God is God himself , as the spirit of a man is a man himself , and this is so obvious to all who are but moderately acquainted with scripture phiaseology , mat ta institute an in-^ iry , in 'the present ; advanced state of theological science , whether the
S pirit of God is a thM part of God , <* a third person in tbe godhead * app ^ ars to be neutron the saitie as tb In-< Anm , whether the spirit of man is the third pirt of anian , ajr a third persoti i ^ the mirfhbod . ,
