he_o show_v by_o the_o author_n thereof_o two_o way_n first_o negative_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v not_o of_o man_n invention_n for_o the_o prophecy_n say_v he_o come_v not_o in_o old_a time_n by_o the_o will_n of_o man_n second_o affirmative_o that_o the_o holy_a ghost_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o but_o holy_a man_n of_o god_n say_v he_o speak_v as_o they_o be_v move_v by_o the_o

god_n 3.16_o 2_o tim._n 3.16_o but_o how_o do_v he_o prove_v it_o when_o aristotle_n that_o great_a profound_a philosopher_n see_v the_o book_n of_o moses_n and_o read_v what_o he_o write_v about_o the_o creation_n of_o the_o world_n he_o mislike_v his_o book_n because_o he_o prove_v not_o that_o which_o he_o write_v hic_fw-la omne_fw-la dicit_fw-la nihil_fw-la probat_fw-la this_o man_n say_v he_o say_v every_o thing_n but_o he_o proye_v nothing_o but_o we_o be_v to_o remember_v that_o though_o we_o may_v doubt_v of_o that_o which_o man_n say_v because_o all_o man_n be_v liar_n as_o the_o scripture_n say_v and_o so_o need_v proof_n to_o consume_v their_o say_n yet_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v of_o itself_o sufficient_a to_o credit_n and_o need_v not_o any_o proof_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o it_o the_o jew_n have_v a_o say_n that_o the_o law_n do_v not_o need_v any_o fortification_n in_o regard_n that_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o it_o and_o so_o god_n be_v the_o author_n of_o the_o whole_a scripture_n it_o need_v no_o fortification_n or_o proof_n to_o strengthen_v it_o but_o whatsoever_o we_o find_v write_v therein_o we_o need_v make_v no_o question_n of_o the_o truth_n thereof_o but_o be_v bind_v to_o believe_v it_o true_o may_v some_o say_v if_o we_o be_v assure_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n &_o that_o god_n &_o not_o man_n be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o than_o we_o need_v make_v no_o question_n of_o the_o truth_n of_o those_o thing_n which_o we_o find_v therein_o but_o how_o shall_v we_o know_v they_o to_o be_v god_n word_n and_o that_o no_o other_o be_v the_o author_n of_o they_o which_o because_o it_o be_v the_o sum_n of_o that_o which_o the_o apostle_n deliver_v in_o these_o word_n i_o purpose_v brief_o to_o handle_v this_o question_n how_o a_o man_n may_v know_v and_o be_v full_o assure_v that_o the_o scripture_n must_v needs_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n concern_v which_o question_n there_o be_v a_o great_a controversy_n between_o we_o and_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n they_o say_v that_o the_o only_a testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v we_o that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o that_o if_o it_o be_v not_o for_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n we_o can_v not_o give_v any_o credit_n to_o it_o we_o say_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v know_v to_o be_v god_n word_n by_o the_o inward_a testimony_n of_o god_n spirit_n and_o that_o without_o this_o testimony_n to_o persuade_v we_o hereunto_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o of_o all_o other_o whatsoever_o be_v insufficient_a 37._o titubabit_fw-la side_n nostra_fw-la si_fw-la scripturae_fw-la vacillet_fw-la autoritas_fw-la august_n de_fw-fr doct._n christ_n lib._n 1._o cap._n 37._o our_o faith_n will_v stagger_v say_v st._n augustine_n if_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n stand_v not_o firm_a but_o how_o can_v the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n stand_v firm_a if_o it_o be_v build_v only_o upon_o so_o weak_a a_o foundation_n as_o the_o testimony_n of_o man_n for_o the_o church_n be_v subject_a to_o error_n both_o in_o doctrine_n and_o manner_n and_o therefore_o this_o testimony_n may_v deceive_v we_o but_o we_o require_v a_o infallible_a proof_n for_o the_o certainty_n of_o the_o scripture_n they_o say_v that_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v infallible_a and_o when_o we_o will_v have_v they_o to_o prove_v it_o they_o prove_v it_o thus_o because_o it_o be_v the_o pillar_n and_o ground_n of_o truth_n 3.15_o 1_o tim._n 3.15_o as_o the_o scripture_n tell_v we_o thus_o if_o a_o man_n doubt_n of_o the_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n to_o prove_v it_o they_o send_v he_o to_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n and_o while_o he_o doubt_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n to_o prove_v it_o they_o send_v he_o back_o again_o to_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o the_o church_n be_v sufficient_a to_o persuade_v a_o man_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o turk_n &_o insidel_n who_o have_v often_o hear_v this_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v not_o yet_o persuade_v of_o the_o truth_n of_o the_o scripture_n how_o many_o thousand_o of_o jew_n be_v now_o live_v in_o italy_n and_o many_o of_o they_o in_o rome_n who_o deny_v the_o gospel_n and_o be_v not_o yet_o persuade_v that_o christ_n be_v come_v if_o the_o only_a testimony_n of_o the_o church_n be_v sufficient_a why_o make_v they_o not_o proof_n thereof_o upon_o they_o that_o the_o world_n may_v see_v the_o virtue_n and_o efficacy_n of_o it_o but_o we_o know_v experience_n tell_v they_o daily_o to_o their_o face_n that_o they_o can_v do_v it_o and_o if_o you_o ask_v they_o the_o reason_n they_o can_v give_v none_o but_o this_o because_o of_o the_o blindness_n and_o unbelief_n of_o the_o jew_n why_o therefore_o say_v we_o that_o that_o which_o be_v able_a to_o assure_v a_o man_n that_o the_o scripture_n be_v god_n word_n must_v be_v able_a to_o illuminate_v his_o understanding_n and_o to_o give_v he_o faith_n that_o he_o may_v believe_v it_o but_o this_o be_v only_o the_o work_n of_o god_n spirit_n there_o be_v nothing_o more_o ordinary_a among_o the_o prophet_n then_o when_o they_o deliver_v god_n word_n to_o the_o people_n to_o tell_v the_o people_n that_o it_o be_v god_n word_n which_o they_o deliver_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n say_v esay_n 1.10_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n come_v unto_o i_o say_v jeremy_n 1.4_o and_o thus_o every_o one_o of_o the_o prophet_n from_o the_o first_o to_o the_o last_o do_v testify_v that_o they_o deliver_v the_o word_n of_o god_n 53.1_o esay_n 53.1_o but_o who_o have_v believe_v our_o report_n say_v esay_n so_o that_o where_o there_o be_v one_o that_o believe_v it_o there_o be_v many_o that_o do_v not_o and_o therefore_o if_o neither_o the_o word_n itself_o nor_o the_o testimony_n of_o the_o prophet_n concern_v the_o word_n can_v persuade_v they_o that_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n much_o less_o be_v the_o testimony_n of_o the_o church_n sufficient_a when_o st._n paul_n preach_v at_o phylippi_n act_n 16._o there_o be_v many_o that_o hear_v he_o but_o it_o be_v say_v there_o of_o liddia_n only_o that_o god_n open_v her_o heart_n so_o that_o she_o attend_v unto_o that_o which_o he_o speak_v 16.14_o act_n 16.14_o now_o if_o she_o can_v not_o so_o much_o as_o attend_v unto_o those_o thing_n which_o st._n paul_n deliver_v unless_o that_o god_n have_v first_o open_v her_o heart_n much_o less_o can_v she_o have_v believe_v that_o that_o which_o he_o speak_v be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n but_o by_o the_o inward_a operation_n of_o god_n spirit_n the_o word_n be_v sometime_o call_v a_o light_n because_o it_o be_v lightsome_a in_o itself_o as_o the_o sun_n but_o as_o the_o sun_n though_o it_o be_v never_o so_o lightsome_a yet_o it_o can_v be_v discern_v by_o those_o that_o be_v blind_a so_o the_o word_n though_o in_o itself_o it_o be_v never_o so_o glorious_a yet_o it_o be_v not_o apparent_a to_o we_o till_o our_o heart_n be_v open_v the_o word_n be_v sometime_o compare_v to_o seed_n because_o it_o be_v fruitful_a like_o the_o seed_n that_o be_v sow_v but_o as_o the_o seed_n which_o be_v
