Read John 16 in the BibleJohn 16:13
The Spirit of truth.
Ever note that the Holy Ghost in that he is promised to the Church, is called the Spirit of truth. which Holy Spirit for many other causes is given to diverse private men and to all good men, to sanctification: ◦ but to teach all truth and preserve in truth and from error, he is promised and performed only to the Church and the chief Governor and general Councels thereof.
- ◦ The Spirit of truth.

John 16:12
Yet many things.
This place convinceth that the Apostles and the faithful be taught many things, which Christ omitted to teach them for their weakness: and that it was the providence of God that Christ in presence should not teach and order all things, ◦ that we might be no less assured of the things that the Church teacheth by the Holy Ghost, than of the things that himself delivered.
