assure_v of_o it_o not_o only_o from_o their_o own_o witness_n of_o themselves_o but_o from_o the_o witness_n of_o god_n in_o my_o own_o breast_n they_o do_v believe_v all_o thing_n that_o be_v write_v in_o the_o law_n and_o the_o prophet_n so_o that_o those_o which_o do_v so_o clamorous_o charge_v they_o can_v prove_v the_o thing_n whereof_o they_o so_o much_o accuse_v they_o but_o than_o it_o have_v be_v reply_v viz._n they_o own_o the_o scripture_n indeed_o but_o it_o be_v in_o their_o own_o way_n they_o believe_v they_o as_o they_o do_v a_o moral_a history_n just_o bare_o give_v credit_n to_o they_o own_v that_o they_o be_v truth_n but_o they_o do_v not_o believe_v they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n and_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o life_n as_o to_o this_o i_o answer_v they_o do_v believe_v the_o scripture_n so_o far_o as_o scripture_n itself_o require_v faith_n in_o itself_o that_o be_v that_o they_o be_v able_a to_o make_v wise_a unto_o salvation_n through_o faith_n which_o be_v in_o christ_n jesus_n be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n according_a to_o that_o of_o the_o apostle_n 2_o tim._n 3._o 15_o 16._o and_o they_o do_v also_o believe_v that_o this_o same_o jesus_n here_o speak_v of_o who_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o covenant_n mal._n 3._o 1._o the_o same_o and_o not_o another_o do_v inspire_v his_o prophet_n and_o apostle_n in_o write_v of_o the_o scripture_n but_o still_o he_o be_v the_o word_n as_o well_o as_o the_o wisdom_n of_o the_o father_n and_o i_o ask_v where_o do_v the_o scripture_n themselves_o declare_v any_o other_o where_o do_v they_o say_v that_o they_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n or_o the_o rule_n of_o faith_n and_o life_n though_o i_o have_v hear_v it_o say_v that_o the_o prophet_n isaiah_n jeremiah_n ezekiel_n etc._n etc._n often_o call_v their_o prophecy_n by_o the_o name_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n which_o say_v some_o be_v all_o one_o if_o we_o say_v the_o word_n of_o god_n now_o such_o i_o will_v advise_v to_o take_v a_o second_o view_n of_o the_o text_n and_o then_o they_o may_v find_v that_o the_o prophet_n do_v not_o call_v their_o prophecy_n and_o write_n the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n for_o they_o be_v the_o lord_n word_n he_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n who_o reveal_v their_o prophecy_n unto_o they_o as_o for_o instance_n ezek._n 29._o 1._o say_v the_o prophet_n there_o in_o the_o ten_o year_n in_o the_o ten_o month_n in_o the_o twelve_o day_n of_o the_o month_n come_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n unto_o i_o say_v etc._n etc._n so_o than_o it_o be_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o come_v and_o say_v unto_o he_o the_o prophecy_n be_v that_o which_o he_o say_v so_o in_o jeremiah_n chap._n 7._o v._n 1_o etc._n etc._n old_a

say_v hear_v the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n all_o you_o of_o judah_n mark_v the_o prophet_n be_v to_o make_v proclamation_n of_o the_o word_n of_o the_o lord_n that_o the_o man_n of_o judah_n may_v hear_v what_o he_o say_v as_o it_o follow_v thus_o say_v the_o lord_n amend_v your_o way_n and_o your_o do_n and_o i_o will_v cause_v you_o to_o dwell_v in_o this_o place_n etc._n etc._n and_o this_o be_v he_o as_o i_o say_v before_o who_o be_v the_o messenger_n of_o the_o covenant_n appoint_v by_o the_o father_n to_o reveal_v his_o secret_n unto_o his_o servant_n the_o prophet_n who_o come_v to_o jeremiah_n with_o this_o prophecy_n so_o that_o it_o be_v not_o what_o he_o say_v but_o he_o himself_o who_o name_n be_v call_v the_o word_n of_o god_n revelat._n 19_o 13._o and_o this_o be_v that_o word_n which_o come_v unto_o abraham_n in_o a_o vision_n gen._n 15._o 1._o saying_n fear_v not_o abraham_n i_o be_o thy_o shield_n and_o thy_o exceed_a great_a reward_n unto_o who_o in_o the_o very_a next_o verse_n abraham_n give_v the_o title_n of_o lord_n and_o god_n which_o prove_v the_o word_n to_o be_v eternal_a and_o divine_a but_o so_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n eternal_a for_o we_o know_v they_o have_v their_o beginning_n in_o time_n and_o though_o they_o be_v word_n and_o declaration_n of_o divine_a thing_n yet_o must_v we_o distinguish_v between_o the_o declaration_n and_o
