“The holy Scriptures...being of such perfection, that nothing may be added unto them, nor any thing taken away from them: of such infallible certainty, that heaven and earth shal sooner passe away, than one tittle fall to the ground: so pleasant and delightfull, that they exceed the hony and the honycombe: and so profitable that no treasures may be compared unto them: seeing they are able to make us wiser than our enemies, than the aged, than our teachers; to make us wise unto salvation, to give us an inheritance among them that are sanctified: nay, able to save our soules.”
From the Dedication to Robert, Lord Rich, Baron of Leeze, by Rodolfe Cudworth, in A Commentarie or Exposition upon the Five First Chapters of the Epistle to the Galatians, William Perkins, p. 154 (contained in The Works of That Famous and Worthy Minister of Christ in the University of Cambridge, M. William Perkins. The Second Volume, London: John Legatt, 1631)
