This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: And this shows in what sense it is that Christ abides with his Church for ever. It is by the Holy Spirit, who is called the Spirit of Christ, and who taketh of t... more »he things of Christ and showeth them to us; and who is the earnest or first fruits of the future glory.

And the one main object of all the creeds is to declare in what manner the distinct attributes of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost harmoniously combine in the plan of salvation revealed in the Gospel, that so the Church may know what to pray for and pray with intelligence as well as faith ; and, above all, that we may be guarded against every species of idolatry, to which all mankind are naturally prone; and may never give to any creature, much less to a lifeless thing, any portion of the honour due to God alone.
