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. VVHat call you the Scripture or Word of God B. All l Iohn 5 39. Matth. 22.29 Luke 24.27 Ephes 2.20 those Bookes of the Old and New Testament penned by holy m Luke 1.7 Ioh. 16.13 2 Tim. 3 16. 2 Pet. 1.19 20.21 men of God as they were mooued by the Holy Ghost commonly called the Bible I. Which bee the Canonicall Bookes of the Old Testament B. They may be diuided into three orders The first containes Historicall books being narrations of things done which are Genesis Exodus Leuiticus Numbers Deuteronomie the booke of Ioshua Iudges Ruth two bookes of Samuel two of the Kings two of the Chronicles the bookes of Ezra Nehemiah Hester and Iob. The second are Doctrinall bookes teaching diuine Doctrines and Precepts These are the bookes of the Psalmes of the Prouerbes of the Preacher or Ecclesiastes and the Song of Songs or the Canticles The third comprehends Propheticall bookes foretelling things to come whereof some are greater namely the Prophecy of Esay Ieremie whereunto belongs his Lamentation Ezekiel and Daniel Some smaller to wit Hosea Ioel Amos Obadiah Ionah Micah Nahū Habakkuk Zephaniah Haggai Zechariah and Malachie all which were written in the Hebrew tongue I. Which bee the diuine Canonicall bookes of the New Testament B. They are distinguished into thrée rankes or orders The first containes Historicall bookes which are fiue The Gospell of S. Matthew Marke Luke and Iohn the Acts of the Apostles The second is of Epistles which are twenty one in number one to the Romans two to the Corinthians one to the Galathians one to the Ephesians one to the Philippians one to the Colossians two to the Thessalonians two to Timothie one to Titus one to Philemon one to the Hebrewes of Iames one of Peter two of Iohn thrée and of Iude one The third one onely Propheticall booke called the Apocalips or Reuelation of Saint Iohn which books were penned in the Gréeke tongue I. Are not Esdras Tobit Iudith and the other bookes commonly ioyned in one volume with the bookes before mentioned and interiected betweene Malachy the last of the small Prophets and the Gospell of Saint Matthew parts of the Canonicall Scripture and Word of God also and of equall authoritie and credit with the rest mentioned B. 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.

What are the properties of these Scriptures B. They haue their whole authoritie from God alone the Author of them and not from the Church I. How proue you this B. Psal 19.7 119.1.2.88 Esay 8.20 First because the Scriptures are the Testimonie of God now that cannot receiue authoritie from men and therefore neither the Scriptures Secondly because the Scriptures are before the Church for it is x Esay 2.2 Mat. 28.19 Acts 1 8.9.10 gathered y Iames 1.13 1 Pet. 1.23 regenerated and z Acts 20.32 c.
