5. It is objected, thirdly, “One evangelist says, your heavenly Father will give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him. The other evangelist calls the same thing good gifts; abundantly demonstrating, that the Spirit’s way of bearing witness, is by giving good gifts.” Nay, here is nothing at all about bearing witness, either in one text, or the other. Therefore ’till this demonstration is better demonstrated, I let it stand as it is.
