Why say you that Catechising is a declaring of the Principles of Religion out of the Scripture or Word of God B. Esay 8.20 Acts 17.11 1 Cor. 11.23 2 Tim. 4.2 3. Because nothing is to be deliuered nor receiued for a Principle of Religion or true Doctrine which hath not foundation in this Word or is not contained therein Scripture I.

No surely and therefore are not to be alledged for confirmation of any Doctrine or grounds of our faith though they may bee profitably read for example of life and instruction of manners I. What reasons can you render for the proofe of that you say B. My reasons are these First Luke 16.29 24.27 2 Pet. 1.19 Conferre these Scriptures with the Preface before Ecclesiasticus and 2. Macab 2.23 Also Malachie was the last Propheticall Writer as may bee collected by Malac. 4.5.6 because they were not written by any of the Prophets or such as were immediatly called of God Secondly 2 Tim. 3.16 2 Pet. 1.21 See the Prologue before Ecclesiasticus and 2. Maccab. 2.24.25.26 vnto the end of the Chapter they came not by diuine Inspiration Thirdly there be many o Apocryphall Ester Chap. 12.5 6. 15.7 compared with Canonicall Ester Chap. 6.3 3.1.2 c. and 5.2 Tob. 5.12 and 12.15 Iudith 9.2 conferred with Gen. 49.5 6 7.

What Arguments are there to assure vs that those bookes of the Old and New Testament are the Scriptures and vndoubted Word of God B. Acts 2.16 17. 2 Tim. 3.16 2 Pet. 1.20.21 First the outward testimonie of themselues for they testifie of themselues that they are so Iohn 14 26. 1 Cor. 2.10 11 12 13. 1 Iohn 2.20.27 Secondly The inward testimonie of the Holy Ghost which doth most effectually perswade our hearts that they be diuine Thirdly their Antiquitie Fourthly the singular Maiestie and sublimitie of stile which euerywhere shineth in them 1 Mac. 1.56 57 Fiftly the miraculous preseruation of them against the rage and fury of aduersaries Gen 15.13.14 compared with Exod. 1.11.13 14 c.
