Article 6

In the sixth article, the question is raised whether one is able to soundly interpret Ecclesiastes 1:6 which says round and round goes the spirit as follows: the angelic spirit goes round and round inasmuch as by its action it moves the heavens in a circular pattern.

I do not see any reason it is not able to be soundly explained in this way since this sentence and way of speaking is true when understood in accordance with what was said above. Sacred Scripture intimates as much since the principle is laid down in Romans 8 that the Spirit intercedes, which means he [the Holy Spirit] makes [the angelic spirit] to intercede.
