			[[William Whitaker]] said in his ''A Disputation on Holy Scripture: Against the Papists, Especially Bellarmine and Stapleton'':

			:Our ninth argument is taken from 1 John v. 6, where these words are found:

			:τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστιν τὸ μαρτυροῦν, ὅτι τὸ πνεῦμά ἐστιν ἡ ἀλήθεια. "It is the Spirit that beareth witness that the Spirit is truth ;" that is, by a metonymy, that the doctrine delivered by the Spirit is true. The old translator somewhat otherwise : Spiritus est qui testatur, quoniam Christus est veritas.

			:But it comes to precisely the same thing. For the sense is plain, that it is the Spirit which testifies of the Spirit, that is, of the heavenly doctrine whereof he is the master, and of Christ : where the testimony of the Spirit in confirming doctrine is established.
