“It is a thing most necessary, that men should be assured and certified that the doctrine of the Gospell, and of the Scripture, is not of man, but of God...Scripture is the Word of God...the Evidence of Gods Spirit [is] imprinted and expressed in the Scriptures; and this is an excellencie of the word of God above all words, and writings of men and Angels...the Scripture sets downe the true cause of all misery, namely sinne; and the perfect remedy, namely, Christs death...the antiquity of Scripture, in that it setteth downe an history from the beginning of the world...the protection and preservation of it, from the beginning to this houre, by a speciall providence of God.”
