the_o scripture_n of_o god_n be_v it_o agree_v that_o these_o book_n be_v alone_o in_o account_n of_o the_o book_n of_o the_o scripture_n in_o the_o book_n of_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v agree_v that_o all_o they_o and_o they_o alone_o be_v of_o that_o account_n but_o in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o church_n of_o rome_n hold_v that_o diverse_a book_n call_v apocrypha_fw-la be_v of_o the_o same_o authority_n with_o the_o other_o that_o have_v be_v name_v by_o what_o reason_n may_v their_o opinion_n be_v overthrow_v first_o for_o that_o they_o be_v not_o write_v first_o in_o the_o hebrew_n character_n which_o all_o the_o book_n of_o the_o old_a testament_n be_v original_o write_v in_o 3._o rom._n 3._o second_o for_o all_o the_o jew_n to_o who_o the_o oracle_n of_o god_n

primitive_a church_n after_o the_o apostle_n both_o greek_a and_o latin_a do_v only_o receive_v these_o book_n for_o the_o book_n of_o canonical_a scripture_n what_o noble_a effect_n do_v the_o

as_o may_v guide_v they_o to_o eternal_a life_n have_v not_o fail_v herein_o second_o for_o that_o it_o be_v profitable_a to_o teach_v all_o true_a doctrine_n and_o to_o confute_v the_o false_a to_o correct_v all_o disorder_n private_a and_o public_a and_o to_o inform_v man_n in_o the_o way_n of_o righteousness_n three_o for_o that_o a_o minister_n of_o the_o word_n be_v thereby_o make_v

the_o eye_n and_o mouth_n of_o the_o people_n themselves_o if_o it_o make_v he_o perfect_a it_o be_v much_o more_o able_a to_o give_v they_o sufficient_a instruction_n and_o see_v the_o minister_n be_v bind_v to_o disclose_v the_o whole_a counsel_n of_o god_n to_o his_o people_n 20.27_o acts._n 20.27_o he_o be_v thereunto_o full_o furnish_v out_o of_o the_o treasury_n of_o the_o word_n of_o

property_n and_o effect_n of_o scripture_n first_o that_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a to_o salvation_n 15.9_o math._n 23.8_o joh._n 5.39_o math._n 15.9_o we_o need_v no_o unwritten_a verity_n no_o tradition_n of_o man_n no_o canon_n of_o counsel_n no_o sentence_n of_o father_n much_o less_o decree_n of_o pope_n for_o to_o supply_v any_o suppose_a defect_n of_o the_o write_a word_n or_o for_o to_o give_v we_o a_o more_o perfect_a direction_n in_o the_o way_n of_o life_n than_o be_v already_o put_v down_o expresselie_o in_o the_o canonical_a scripture_n what_o else_o draw_v you_o from_o thence_o 1.9_o john_n 12.48_o gala._n 1.9_o from_o hence_o and_o special_o from_o that_o they_o be_v inspire_v of_o god_n i_o learn_v that_o they_o be_v the_o rule_n the_o line_n the_o squire_n

the_o church_n of_o rome_n hang_v the_o credit_n and_o authority_n of_o the_o scripture_n on_o the_o church_n sentence_n do_v horrible_a injury_n unto_o god_n while_o thereby_o they_o make_v the_o church_n word_n of_o great_a credit_n than_o the_o word_n of_o god_n what_o further_a do_v you_o learn_v from_o hence_o 19.9_o matth._n 5.18_o psal_n 19.9_o i_o learn_v from_o thence_o and_o especial_o in_o that_o it_o be_v a_o rule_n and_o a_o line_n that_o it_o be_v firm_a and_o stable_a and_o change_v not_o and_o therefore_o be_v a_o rule_n of_o steel_n and_o not_o as_o the_o church_n of_o rome_n imagine_v it_o like_o a_o rule_n of_o lead_n which_o may_v be_v bow_v every_o way_n at_o man_n pleasure_n but_o yet_o it_o seem_v dark_a and_o hard_a to_o be_v understand_v and_o therefore_o not_o to_o be_v permit_v but_o unto_o those_o that_o be_v learned_a the_o clean_a contrary_n be_v teach_v by_o the_o apostle_n when_o he_o affirm_v that_o timothy_n be_v nourish_v up_o in_o the_o scripture_n from_o his_o infancy_n for_o if_o little_a child_n be_v capable_a of_o it_o by_o the_o small_a understanding_n they_o have_v and_o less_o judgement_n there_o be_v none_o so_o gross_a which_o have_v the_o understanding_n of_o a_o man_n but_o may_v profit_v by_o it_o come_v in_o the_o fear_n of_o god_n and_o invocation_n of_o his_o name_n hitherto_o we_o have_v hear_v of_o the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o scripture_n what_o they_o be_v and_o what_o be_v the_o cause_n property_n and_o effect_n of_o they_o we_o being_n they_o from_o who_o only_o all_o doctrine_n concern_v our_o salvation_n must_v be_v draw_v and_o derive_v what_o be_v the_o part_n thereof_o it_o be_v either_o the_o doctrine_n of_o work_n common_o call_v the_o law_n of_o of_o grace_n call_v the_o promise_n and_o sithence_o the_o come_n of_o christ_n the_o gospel_n gal._n chap._n 3._o vers_fw-la 17_o 18_o 19_o etc._n etc._n to_o the_o 25._o 17_o and_o this_o i_o say_v that_o the_o law_n which_o be_v four_o hundred_o and_o thirty_o year_n after_o can_v disannul_v the_o covenant_n that_o be_v confirm_v afore_o of_o god_n in_o respect_n of_o christ_n that_o it_o shall_v make_v the_o promise_n of_o none_o effect_n 18_o for_o if_o the_o inheritance_n be_v of_o the_o law_n it_o be_v no_o more_o by_o the_o promise_n but_o god_n give_v it_o unto_o abraham_n by_o promise_n 19_o wherefore_o then_o serve_v the_o law_n it_o be_v add_v because_o of_o the_o transgression_n till_o the_o seed_n come_v unto_o the_o which_o the_o promise_n be_v make_v and_o it_o be_v ordain_v by_o angel_n in_o the_o hand_n of_o a_o mediator_n there_o be_v two_o part_n of_o the_o scripture_n before_o lay_v down_o it_o follow_v to_o speak_v of_o they_o apart_o and_o first_o of_o the_o law_n tell_v i_o therefore_o what_o be_v the_o drift_n of_o this_o place_n it_o show_v two_o way_n wherein_o happiness_n be_v recover_v the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n and_o faith_n in_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n that_o the_o law_n be_v not_o that_o way_n whereby_o we_o can_v receive_v the_o happiness_n we_o have_v lose_v how_o be_v that_o show_v for_o that_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n whereby_o abraham_n be_v justify_v be_v 430._o year_n before_o the_o law_n and_o therefore_o that_o the_o law_n which_o come_v after_o can_v make_v void_a the_o covenant_n of_o grace_n which_o it_o shall_v do_v if_o a_o man_n be_v justify_v by_o the_o law_n but_o it_o may_v be_v say_v that_o the_o justification_n by_o work_n of_o the_o law_n do_v not_o make_v void_v the_o promise_n of_o grace_n when_o as_o the_o matter_n be_v so_o handle_v as_o salvation_n come_v in_o part_n by_o the_o work_n of_o the_o law_n yes_o very_o it_o be_v make_v void_a for_o if_o salvation_n be_v before_o the_o law_n be_v only_o by_o grace_n and_o now_o shall_v be_v by_o work_n and_o grace_n than_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n only_o shall_v be_v make_v void_a and_o therefore_o the_o apostle_n in_o the_o 18._o verse_n do_v show_v that_o if_o it_o be_v of_o the_o law_n it_o can_v be_v by_o the_o promise_n of_o grace_n then_o it_o shall_v seem_v there_o be_v no_o use_n of_o the_o law_n see_v it_o do_v not_o justify_v we_o in_o all_o nor_o in_o part_n not_o so_o for_o it_o be_v give_v to_o show_v and_o discover_v sin_n yea_o through_o the_o corruption_n of_o our_o nature_n to_o increase_v sin_n so_o far_o be_v it_o from_o take_v away_o sin_n how_o be_v that_o show_v by_o the_o manner_n of_o the_o give_v which_o be_v with_o such_o terror_n of_o thunder_n lightning_n and_o smoke_n and_o fearful_a sound_n of_o the_o trumpet_n as_o the_o people_n can_v not_o abide_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o be_v fain_o to_o desire_v that_o they_o may_v not_o hear_v the_o voice_n of_o god_n but_o that_o moses_n may_v be_v a_o mediator_n to_o receive_v it_o at_o god_n hand_n and_o they_o at_o he_o what_o observe_v you_o from_o that_o that_o the_o law_n be_v terrible_a unto_o we_o by_o reason_n of_o our_o sin_n
