really believe that the Scriptures the Old and New Testament were written by the Holy Men of God as they were moved thereunto by the Holy Ghost And we do believe whatsoever things were written afore-time were written for our Learning that we through Patience and Comfort of the Scriptures might have hope Rom. 15. 4. And we do believe That the Scriptures are able to make wise unto Salvation through Faith which is in Christ Jesus mark through Faith which is in Christ Jesus And in this the Scripture is profitable for Doctrine for Reproof for Correction for Instruction in Righteousness that the Man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all Good Works 2 Tim. 3. 15 16 17. Now here we may see that it is through Faith in Christ Jesus that the Scriptures are profitable unto us But we do not remember that the Scriptures in any place do say they are the Written Word Will and Mind of God or the Only Rule of Faith Worship and Manners and therefore we do desire Joseph Hallett or any other man to prove it by Scripture if they can But this we do find that Jesus Christ is called the Word of God in several places in the holy Scriptures for John saith In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God the same was in the beginning with God all things were made by him and without him was not any thing made that was made John 1. 1 2 3. Now here it is plain that the Apostle called Christ the Word of God for it cannot be reasonably supposed or said that the Scriptures were in the beginning with God or that the Scripture was God or that all things were made by them for what we understand Moses did write the first five Books which was many hundred Years after the beginning So that it is plain that Christ is the Word of God by whom the Worlds were framed Heb. 11. 3. So now we would not have any to be ignorant of this That by the Word of God the Heavens were of Old and the Earth standing out of the Water and in the Water 2 Pet. 3. 5. And John hath written in the Revelations of this Word of God for he saith I saw Heaven opened and behold a White Horse and he that sate upon him was called Faithful and True and in Righteousness he doth Judge and make War his Eyes were as a Flame of Fire and on his Head were many Crowns and he had a Name written that no man knew but he himself and he was cloathed with a Vesture d●pt in Blood and his Name is called the Word of God Rev. 19. 11 12 13. And this is The Word of God which is quick and powerful and sharper than any two edged Sword piercing even to the dividing assunder of Soul and Spirit and of the Joynts and Marrow and is a Discerner of the Thoughts and Intents of the Heart Heb. 4. 12. Now this Word of God is nigh unto People even in the Mouth and in the Heart Rom. 10. 8. And this Word of God to wit Christ Jesus doth declare the Mind and Will of God and is the only Rule of Faith Worship and Manners For if we say that these afore-mentioned things are things of God then the Apostle saith The things of God knoweth no man but the Spirit of God And he farther saith Now we have received not the Spirit of the World but the Spirit which is of God that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God 1 Cor. 2. 11 12. Now if any would know the Will and Mind of God they must turn in their Minds unto the gift of God's Spirit in their own Hearts For that which may be known of God is manifest in them for God hath shewed unto them Rom. 1. 19. And again the Apostle saith It is God that worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure Phil. 2. 13. Now concerning Faith Christ saith When the Son of Man cometh shall he find Faith on Earth Luk. 18. 8 Now it is written that Faith cometh by hearing and heari●g by the Word of God Rom. 10. 17. Christ is the Word of God and he is the Author and Finisher of our Faith it is undeniable for the Apostle saith Looking unto Jesus th● Author and Finisher of our Faith Heb. 12. 2. And concerning Worship Christ saith The Hour cometh and now is when the true Worshippers shall worship the Father in Spirit and in Truth for the Father seeketh such to worship him And he further saith God is a Spirit and they that worship him must worship him in Spirit and in Truth John 4. 23 24. We desire the Reader to take notice of this for it is a weighty thing to be a Worshipper of God and it must be performed by the assistance of God's Spirit for Christ saith in plain words Without me ye can do nothing John 15. 5. And the Apostle Paul saith As many as are led by the Spirit of God they are the Sons of God Rom. 8. 14. And we say if Sons then true Worshippers The Apostles were come unto the Spiritual Worship for the Apostle Paul saith We are the Circumcision which worship God in the Spirit and rejoyce in Christ Jesus and have no confidence in the Flesh Phil. 3. 3. Now concerning Manners we find it thus written that Evil Communications corrupt good Manners 1 Cor. 15. 33. Therefore if any be willing to know good Manners then let them take the Apostle's advice in the next Verse where he saith Awake to Righteousness and sin not Now it is the holy Ghost that teacheth People Good Manners for Christ saith He shall teach them all things and bring all things to your Remembrance John 14. 26. And now concerning the Light within it doth manifest unto the Sons and Daughters of men their States and Conditions and by it Thoughts Words and Actions are tryed and by the Light of Jesus we come to understand these things which are written in the holy Scriptures of Truth and therefore it is a higher and superiour Rule unto which we ought more especially to attend it being according to Scripture for Christ saith While ye have the Light believe in the Light that ye may be the Children of the Light These things spake Jesus John 12. 36. And it is written That every one that doth Evil hateth the Light neither cometh to the Light lest his Deeds should be reproved But he that doth Truth cometh to the Light that his Deeds may be made manifest that they are wrought in God John 3. 20 21. Mark it is the Light that discovereth and maketh manifest as it is walked in it is an undeniable Truth for it is evidently set forth by the Apostle Paul for he saith All things that are reproved are made manifest by the Light for whatsoever doth make manifest is Light Ephes 5. 13. And observe John's Testimony of the Light and the
