in the texts
De Anima
The Holy Spirit as Paraclete, cited as admonishing believers toward martyrdom.
Recognize, then, the difference between the heathen and the faithful in death, if you die for God, as the Paraclete admonishes, not in soft fevers and in little beds, but in martyrdoms;
This too the Paraclete has most frequently commended, if anyone shall have admitted his discourses out of the acknowledgment of the promised gifts.
De Monogamia
The Holy Spirit/advocate whom the author says is teaching or restoring the discipline of monogamy
This very thing is demonstrated by us, that the discipline of monogamy is neither new nor foreign, but rather both ancient and proper to Christians, so that you may regard the Paraclete as its restorer rather than its founder.
" And now, considering these things, you will easily persuade yourself that it much more befitted the Paraclete to preach single marriages, who might have preached none at all, and that it is the more to be believed that he tempered what it would have become him even to take away—if you understand what Christ wills.
But the Paraclete, having many things to teach which the Lord deferred to him, according to the appointed limit, will first of all bear witness to Christ himself, such as we believe him, together with the whole ordering of God the Creator, and will glorify him, and will make mention of him, and being thus recognized by the principal rule, will reveal those many things which belong to the disciplin …
Adversus Marcionem
The Holy Spirit, named both as the object obtained in baptism and, as 'the Paraclete,' as the authoritative source of the New Prophecy's teaching restricting remarriage.
If it is the obtaining of the Holy Spirit, how will he bestow the spirit who did not first confer the soul?
But even if a measure is now set for marrying — which indeed among us spiritual reason, on the authority of the Paraclete, defends, prescribing one marriage in the faith — it will belong to the same One to fix a measure who had at some time spread the measure abroad;
De Carnis Resurrectione
The Holy Spirit, said to speak through the prophetess Prisca in condemnation of those who deny the resurrection of the flesh.
Of whom the Paraclete too speaks luminously through the prophetess Prisca:
De Fuga in Persecutione
The Spirit invoked as necessary guide and exhorter, given to those who endure persecution rather than fleeing or paying to avoid it.
And therefore the Paraclete is necessary, the guide of all truths, the exhorter to all endurances.
De ieiunio adversus psychicos
The Holy Spirit as understood in the New Prophecy (Montanist) movement, source of the new prophecies and confirmer of disciplinary teaching.
These men pick a quarrel with the Paraclete;
Either contend that the devil acts together with our God, or let Satan be reckoned the Paraclete.
" So, the Paraclete being set aside as the confirmer of all these things, the leader of all truth, inquire whether a worthier reason is brought by us for observing the ninth—so that to Peter too that reason should be reckoned, if he then performed a Station.
De Pudicitia
The Holy Spirit, invoked as source of stricter Christian discipline.
and therefore, while they most harshly defame us, by the strictness of the Paraclete's discipline we set bigamists outside the door.
