Her collects are full of petitions to the same effect: “Grant that we may daily be renewed by thy Holy Spirit.¹――――Grant that in all our sufferings here, for the testimony of thy truth, we may by faith behold the glory that shall be revealed, and _being filled with the Holy Ghost_, may love and bless our persecutors.² Send thy Holy Ghost and pour into our hearts that most excellent gift of charity.³ O Lord, from whom all good things do come, grant to us thy humble servants, that by thy _holy inspiration_ we may think those things that are good, and by thy merciful guidance may perform the same.⁴ Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort.⁵ (_N. B._ The church here teaches all Christians to claim _the Comforter_, in virtue of the promise made _John xiv._) Grant us, Lord, we beseech thee, the Spirit, to think and do always such things as be rightful.⁶ O God, forasmuch as without thee, we are not able to please thee, merciful grant that thy Holy Spirit, may in all things direct and rule our hearts.⁷ Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by _the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit_, that we may perfectly love thee, and worthily magnify thy holy name.⁸” ¹ _Collect for Christmas-Day._ ² _St. Stephen’s Day._ ³ _Quinquagesima Sunday._ ⁴ _5th Sunday after Easter._ ⁵ _Sunday after Ascension Day._ ⁶ _9th Sunday after Trinity._ ⁷ _19th Sunday after Trinity._ ⁸ _Communion Office._ “Give thy Holy Spirit to this infant (or this person) that he may be born again.――Give thy Holy Spirit to these persons (_N. B._ already baptized) that they may continue thy servants.” “Almighty God, who hast vouchsafed to regenerate these persons by water and the Holy Ghost――Strengthen them with the Holy Ghost the Comforter, and daily increase in them the manifold gifts of thy grace.” _Office of Confirmation._ From these passages it may sufficiently appear, for what purposes every Christian, according to the doctrine of the church of _England_, does now _receive the Holy Ghost_. But this will be still more clear from those that follow: wherein the reader may likewise observe, a plain, rational sense of God’s _revealing_ himself to us, of the _inspiration_ of the Holy Ghost, and of a believer’s _feeling_ in himself _the mighty working_ of the Spirit of Christ. 25. “God gave them of old grace to be his children, as he doth us now. But now, by the coming of our Saviour Christ, _we have received_ more abundantly _the_ Spirit _of_ God in our hearts.” _Homily on Faith._ Part II. “He died to destroy the rule of the devil in us, and he rose again to send down his Holy Spirit, to _rule in our hearts_.” _Homily on the Resurrection._ “We have the Holy Spirit in our hearts, as a _seal and pledge_ of our everlasting inheritance.” _ibid._
