Let us hear the Scripture itself

Edward Leigh, 1602-1671, A Systeme or Body of Divinity Consisting of Ten Books, Book I, Chapter 1, p. 73

“Let us hear the Scripture itself, witnessing of its own authority and durableness to all ages. Moses thus writeth of it: ‘The secret things belong unto the Lord our God: but those things which are revealed belong unto us and to our children for ever’ (Deut. 29:29). David also professeth that he knew long before, that the Lord had founded his testimonies for evermore (Psalm 119:152). But our Saviour Christ’s testimony is of all others most evident: That Heaven and Earth shall pass, but that his word cannot pass, and yet more vehemently, that not one jot, or small letter of his Law can pass until all be fulfilled (Matt. 5:18). ‘For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope’ (Rom. 15:4). Therefore none of those which were written for that end are lost.”
