For the Spirit itself, _Himself_ beareth witness with our Spirits, that we are the children of God, and if children, then heirs.”
To One of the very great errors of the present day in which we live amongst our professing churches, is not giving to God the Holy Ghost, the glory of his distinct personality in the Godhead, in perfect equality with the Father and the Son, adoring and worshiping him as a person in God, and making him the object of our faith, hope and love.
We confess that he is equally interested in our salvation, but do we give him equal praise?
I fear not.
It is a mercy to be divinely led to understand the personality, divinity, covenant offices and work of God the Holy Spirit; the different characters he bears to his people, and in which he is presented to our view in his own word as an advocate, reprover, comforter, sanctifier, teacher, leader, sealer, glorifier and _witness_ of Jesus in his word, and to the hearts of his own dear people, for which he is well qualified as the spirit of knowledge, a spirit of judgment, and a spirit of truth; and he that believeth on the Son of God hath the witness in himself, because the Spirit has taken the great things of Christ, and shewn them to his soul; for all the spiritual knowledge we have of Christ is by his teaching, and in no other way: the Holy Spirit has borne his witness of Christ as God in the language of _Isaiah_, His name shall be called the mighty God and of his Sonship, and I saw and bare record that this is the Son of God, and of the person, work and offices of the Redeemer.

Chapter 39 of The Foundling by J. (John) Church holds 89 sentences, grouped into 18 reading sections of at most 5 sentences. The text is the source edition, unabridged, and the chapter records which sentences cover which part of the work so that nothing is dropped. Every word can be tapped for its pronunciation and dictionary entry.

What does chapter 39 of The Foundling contain?

Chapter 39 holds 89 sentences of The Foundling, unabridged, divided into 18 reading sections.

This page carries chapter 39 of The Foundling by J. (John) Church exactly as it stands in the source edition, without abridgement. It runs to 89 sentences, grouped into 18 sections of at most 5 sentences so that a reader can take the chapter in steady, finishable pieces. The chapter also stores a coverage record mapping every one of its sentences to a part of the work, which is how the edition demonstrates that no line was dropped.

How do I study chapter 39 of The Foundling?

Work through the 18 sections in order, replaying any sentence and tapping unfamiliar words for their entries.

Each of the 18 sections in this chapter is short enough to read once, hear once, and then re-read with the vocabulary in view. Tapping a word plays it alone and opens its dictionary entry with IPA, part of speech and meaning, so the reader is never forced to guess a pronunciation from spelling. Working section by section keeps a long chapter from becoming an undifferentiated wall of text, which is the usual reason a reader abandons a work of this period.

Can chapter 39 be read aloud to me?

Yes — every sentence and every individual word in chapter 39 can be played aloud in United States English.

Audio covers the whole chapter: any sentence can be played, and any single word within it can be played on its own. The voice uses United States English. For a work of this period that matters, because spelling is an unreliable guide to pronunciation for vocabulary that has fallen out of daily use, and a learner who guesses wrong tends to keep the error. Hearing the word in its own sentence, and then alone, settles it.
