Novatian — On the Trinity 29
This is the one who strengthened their minds and thoughts, who distinguished the gospel mysteries, who was in them the illuminator of divine things — by whom, confirmed for the Lord’s name, they feared neither prisons nor chains; rather they trampled the powers of the age and its torments, already armed and strengthened through him, having in themselves the gifts which this same Spirit distributes and directs to the church, the bride of Christ, as certain ornaments.
This is the one who appoints prophets in the church, trains teachers, directs tongues, works powers and healings, performs wonderful works, extends discernings of spirits, contributes governances, suggests counsels, and arranges and distributes whatever other gifts of the charismata there are — and therefore makes the Lord’s church perfect and complete on every side and in all things.
Latin
Hic est enim qui ipsorum animos mentesque firmauit, qui euangelica sacramenta distinxit, qui in ipsis illuminator rerum diuinarum fuit, quo confirmati pro nomine Domini nec carceres nec uincula timuerunt… habentes in se dona quae hic idem Spiritus ecclesiae Christi sponsae quasi quaedam ornamenta distribuit et dirigit. Hic est enim qui prophetas in ecclesia constituit, magistros erudit, linguas dirigit, uirtutes et sanitates facit, opera mirabilia gerit, discretiones spirituum porrigit, gubernationes contribuit, consilia suggerit quaeque alia sunt charismatum dona componit et digerit et ideo ecclesiam Domini undique et in omnibus perfectam et consummatam facit.
