“Human and worldly wisdom is not needful to the understanding of scripture, but the _revelation_ of the Holy Ghost, who _inspireth_ the true meaning unto them that with humility and diligence search for it.” _ibid._ Part II. “Make him know and _feel_, that there is no other name under heaven given unto men, whereby we can be saved.” “If we _feel_ our conscience at peace with God, through remission of our sin,――all is of God.” _Homily on Rogation week._ Part III. “If you _feel_ such a faith in you, rejoice in it, and let it be daily increasing by well-working.” _Homily on faith._ Part III. “The faithful may _feel_ wrought tranquility of conscience, the increase of faith and hope, with many other graces of God.” _Homily on the sacrament._ Part I. “Godly men _feel_ inwardly God’s Holy Spirit, inflaming their hearts with love.” _Homily on certain places of scripture._ Part I. “God give us grace, to know these things, and to _feel_ them in our hearts! This knowledge and _feeling_ is not of ourselves. Let us therefore meekly call upon the bountiful Spirit, the Holy Ghost, to _inspire_ us with his presence, that we may be able to hear the goodness of God to our salvation. For without his lively _inspiration_, can we not so much as speak the name of the Mediator. _No man can say that |Jesus| is the |Lord|, but by the Holy Ghost._ Much less should we be able to believe and know these great mysteries that be opened to us by Christ. _But we have received_ saith St. _Paul_, _not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit which is of |God|_; for this purpose, _that we may know the things which are freely given to us of |God|_. In the power of the Holy Ghost resteth all ability to _know_ God and to _please_ him. It is he that _purifieth_ the mind by his secret working. He _enlighteneth_ the heart, to conceive worthy thoughts of Almighty God. He sitteth in the _tongue_ of man, to stir him to speak his honour. He only ministreth spiritual _strength_ to the powers of the _soul_ and _body_. And if we have any gift, whereby we may profit our neighbour, all is wrought by this one and the self-same Spirit.” _Homily for Rogation week._ Part III. 27. Every proposition which I have any where advanced, concerning those _operations_ of the Holy Ghost, which I believe are _common_ to all Christians in all ages, is here clearly maintained by our own church. Under a full sense of this, I could not well understand for many years, how it was, that on the mentioning any of these great truths, even among men of education, the cry, immediately arose, “An Enthusiast, an Enthusiast!” But I now plainly perceive, this is only an old fallacy in a new shape. To object _Enthusiasm_ to any person or doctrine, is but a decent method of begging the question. It generally spares the objector the trouble of reasoning, and is a shorter and easier way of carrying his cause.
