me in heaven and in earth. Go ye therefore, and teach all nations; baptising them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost; teaching them to observe all things, whatsoever I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you all days, even to the consummation of the world."
John xiv. 16, 26. “ And I will ask the Father, and he shall give you another Paraclete, that he may abide with you for ever; the spirit of truth. But the Paraclete, the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring all things to your minds, whatsoever I shall have said to you. Ibid. xvi. 13. But when he, the Spirit of Truth is come, he will teach you all truth. For he shall not speak of himself, but what things soever he shall hear, he shall speak; and the things that are to come, he shall shew you.”
1 Tim. iii. 14, 15. “These things I write to thee, hoping that I shall come to thee shortly.--But if I tarry long, that thou mayest know, how thou oughtest to behave thyself in the house of God, which is the Church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth.

Sr. IRENÆUS, L.C.—“ Things being thus made plain," &c. See the quotation p. 11. “The Church, receiving her doctrine from Christ and his Apostles, and alone preserving it through all regions, delivered it down to her children. Hence it becomes our duty, to afford every assistance against the assaults of heretics; to withdraw those that are in error, and to strengthen the weak; in order that they hold fast the Faith, which they received from that Church, which has preserved it inviolate.” Adv. Hær. Præf. Lib. v. p. 291.
