of_o human_a life_n be_v infinite_a and_o depend_v upon_o a_o multitude_n of_o accident_n not_o to_o be_v foresee_v and_o consequent_o not_o to_o be_v provide_v against_o hence_o law_n must_v run_v in_o general_a term_n and_o sometime_o the_o intent_n of_o the_o law_n be_v best_a fulfil_v by_o go_v counter_a to_o the_o letter_n of_o it_o in_o all_o such_o case_n therefore_o reason_n and_o honesty_n must_v guide_v we_o to_o the_o fitness_n of_o the_o thing_n and_o great_a scope_n be_v necessary_o leave_v to_o equity_n and_o discretion_n i_o allow_v indeed_o that_o god_n who_o have_v content_v himself_o with_o general_a rule_n can_v have_v describe_v all_o the_o accident_n and_o circumstance_n which_o he_o can_v but_o foresee_v and_o know_v exact_o but_o there_o be_v no_o reason_n why_o he_o shall_v and_o a_o great_a deal_n why_o he_o shall_v not_o it_o be_v much_o better_a that_o he_o have_v leave_v we_o to_o draw_v general_a rule_n into_o particular_a practice_n and_o put_v we_o upon_o the_o trial_n of_o do_v this_o fair_o of_o discharge_v a_o good_a conscience_n in_o positive_a obedience_n where_o he_o have_v determine_v thing_n to_o moral_a good_a or_o evil_a and_o of_o follow_v the_o measure_n of_o integrity_n and_o expediency_n where_o he_o have_v leave_v they_o indifferent_a and_o at_o large_a the_o sum_n then_o of_o this_o first_o head_n may_v be_v easy_o draw_v together_o within_o the_o compass_n of_o these_o few_o short_a conclusion_n 1._o first_o as_o to_o the_o mystery_n and_o doctrine_n peculiar_a to_o the_o christian_a faith_n such_o as_o the_o incarnation_n and_o satisfaction_n of_o our_o bless_a saviour_n the_o justification_n of_o sinner_n by_o faith_n the_o assistance_n of_o the_o holy_a spirit_n the_o trinity_n of_o person_n in_o the_o divine_a essence_n which_o i_o make_v no_o scruple_n to_o call_v a_o necessary_a and_o distinguish_a doctrine_n of_o the_o christian_a religion_n in_o these_o the_o scripture_n be_v our_o absolute_a and_o only_a rule_n for_o they_o be_v branch_n of_o a_o new_a covenant_n revelation_n of_o stupendous_a and_o important_a concern_v set_v forth_o free_a act_n of_o mercy_n such_o as_o depend_v upon_o no_o necessary_a cause_n in_o nature_n such_o as_o concern_v not_o man_n in_o his_o primitive_a state_n and_o therefore_o not_o within_o the_o ken_n of_o reason_n these_o can_v come_v only_o from_o god_n and_o upon_o he_o we_o be_v therefore_o to_o depend_v entire_o for_o they_o so_o that_o when_o there_o be_v sufficient_a evidence_n of_o his_o have_v deliver_v any_o matter_n of_o this_o kind_n all_o the_o rest_n be_v to_o be_v take_v upon_o content_a and_o his_o truth_n and_o infinite_a wisdom_n be_v a_o just_a foundation_n of_o our_o belief_n how_o far_o soever_o the_o matter_n reveal_v may_v exceed_v our_o comprehension_n 2._o second_o in_o matter_n of_o practice_n the_o scripture_n be_v our_o supreme_a though_o not_o our_o only_a rule_n those_o thing_n which_o reason_n and_o nature_n teach_v this_o enlarge_n and_o refine_v upon_o and_o oftentimes_o confirm_v with_o a_o fresh_a sanction_n it_o exalt_v our_o virtue_n and_o direct_v we_o to_o proceed_v upon_o noble_a principle_n teach_v some_o duty_n not_o to_o be_v know_v without_o it_o give_v clear_a conviction_n of_o such_o as_o be_v know_v imperfect_o lead_v we_o to_o end_n above_o nature_n furnish_v mean_n above_o the_o power_n of_o nature_n propose_v reward_n heavenly_a and_o divine_a and_o help_v we_o to_o do_v more_o than_o mere_a man_n by_o their_o own_o discourse_n can_v ever_o have_v do_v so_o that_o revelation_n do_v not_o quench_v the_o light_n of_o nature_n but_o add_v fresh_a oil_n and_o make_v it_o burn_v the_o bright_a and_o by_o be_v more_o perfect_a help_v our_o dimness_n and_o dark_a sight_n and_o take_v place_n above_o all_o other_o authority_n it_o be_v proper_o style_v by_o david_n a_o candle_n to_o our_o foot_n and_o a_o lantern_n to_o our_o path_n psal_n cxix_o 105._o so_o that_o whatever_o this_o word_n teach_v which_o we_o may_v otherwise_o have_v know_v have_v a_o double_a tie_n upon_o we_o and_o that_o which_o either_o want_n of_o understanding_n or_o corruption_n of_o mind_n will_v have_v keep_v we_o in_o ignorance_n of_o when_o find_v here_o be_v to_o be_v receive_v with_o submission_n and_o reverence_n as_o a_o inviolable_a law_n whatever_o flesh_n and_o sense_n and_o worldly_a wisdom_n may_v suggest_v or_o object_v to_o the_o contrary_n 3._o three_o the_o perfection_n of_o scripture_n do_v not_o confine_v itself_o to_o such_o matter_n of_o faith_n and_o practice_n as_o be_v absolute_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n but_o it_o be_v liberal_a and_o well_o fraught_v with_o excellent_a rule_n both_o for_o improve_n our_o knowledge_n and_o adorn_v our_o profession_n it_o consult_v the_o beauty_n and_o gracefulness_n as_o well_o as_o the_o life_n and_o be_v of_o christianity_n it_o direct_v the_o shine_a of_o our_o light_n and_o the_o win_n over_o other_o by_o our_o prudence_n and_o good_a example_n and_o leave_v we_o general_a hint_n the_o efficacy_n of_o which_o will_v depend_v upon_o the_o honesty_n and_o discretion_n of_o particular_a application_n to_o our_o own_o personal_a exigency_n and_o condition_n 4._o but_o four_o there_o be_v many_o case_n where_o scripture_n can_v have_v nothing_o at_o all_o to_o do_v except_o by_o very_o remote_a consequence_n and_o so_o far_o only_o as_o be_v imply_v in_o the_o forego_n particular_a ten_o thousand_o action_n of_o humane_a life_n there_o be_v so_o trivial_a as_o scare_v to_o deserve_v the_o deliberation_n of_o a_o single_a thought_n and_o to_o expect_v law_n and_o decision_n from_o almighty_a god_n in_o thing_n of_o no_o importance_n or_o moral_a good_a or_o evil_a be_v to_o bring_v his_o majesty_n into_o contempt_n and_o therefore_o here_o discretion_n be_v our_o only_a guide_n in_o short_a and_o to_o conclude_v this_o argument_n the_o write_a word_n of_o god_n be_v to_o be_v esteem_v sufficient_a and_o perfect_a but_o this_o be_v to_o be_v understand_v of_o have_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o mean_n to_o the_o end_n and_o what_o may_v serve_v the_o purpose_n to_o which_o it_o be_v ordain_v the_o perfection_n be_v that_o of_o a_o instrument_n but_o then_o this_o like_o all_o other_o instrument_n require_v a_o honest_a skilful_a and_o diligent_a hand_n to_o manage_v and_o apply_v it_o successful_o and_o it_o be_v no_o disparagement_n to_o the_o scripture_n character_n that_o some_o by_o neglect_v and_o other_o by_o abuse_v it_o still_o want_v that_o save_v wisdom_n it_o may_v give_v nor_o do_v it_o at_o all_o take_v off_o from_o the_o perfection_n of_o this_o rule_n that_o some_o case_n be_v so_o plain_a and_o obvious_a as_o not_o to_o need_v its_o particular_a direction_n and_o that_o other_o be_v of_o so_o little_a moment_n as_o not_o to_o deserve_v they_o ii_o second_o the_o way_n be_v thus_o make_v plain_a by_o right_o state_v the_o perfection_n of_o scripture_n let_v we_o now_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o part_n of_o our_o business_n which_o be_v to_o instance_n in_o some_o general_a argument_n which_o the_o protestant_a opinion_n of_o the_o scripture_n sufficiency_n may_v very_o reasonable_o allege_v for_o its_o self_n now_o in_o order_n to_o make_v scripture_n a_o competent_a guide_n in_o the_o case_n that_o proper_o concern_v it_o two_o thing_n only_o be_v neeessary_a that_o it_o be_v sufficient_o particular_a and_o express_a and_o that_o it_o be_v plain_a and_o intelligible_a that_o as_o much_o be_v deliver_v there_o as_o the_o occasion_n require_v and_o that_o it_o be_v deliver_v in_o such_o a_o manner_n as_o that_o man_n may_v improve_v by_o it_o and_o attain_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o it_o both_o which_o to_o any_o man_n who_o consider_v the_o uses_n of_o scripture_n appear_v to_o be_v so_o necessary_o require_v and_o so_o great_o relate_v to_o that_o the_o same_o general_a argument_n will_v prove_v both_o and_o these_o that_o follow_v if_o i_o mistake_v not_o may_v contribute_v something_o towards_o it_o first_o a_o consideration_n of_o the_o author_n every_o imperfection_n in_o the_o effect_n be_v owe_v to_o some_o failure_n in_o the_o cause_n a_o want_n of_o power_n if_o it_o be_v a_o necessary_a cause_n or_o a_o want_n of_o will_n if_o it_o be_v a_o sufficient_a and_o free_a cause_n there_o be_v therefore_o excellent_a reason_n why_o st._n paul_n shall_v begin_v his_o character_n of_o the_o scripture_n perfection_n with_o a_o account_n of_o its_o be_v give_v by_o inspiration_n of_o god_n this_o introduction_n carry_v in_o it_o a_o very_a significant_a argument_n to_o enforce_v what_o follow_v for_o where_o indeed_o shall_v we_o expect_v perfection_n if_o not_o from_o he_o who_o be_v the_o source_n and_o sum_n of_o all_o perfection_n he_o who_o power_n and_o wisdom_n be_v infinite_a be_v most_o likely_a to_o impress_v upon_o his_o own_o ordinance_n such_o

great_a they_o be_v the_o necessary_a point_n in_o which_o we_o maintain_v the_o sufficiency_n of_o scripture_n and_o i_o hope_v it_o have_v be_v prove_v that_o what_o be_v not_o full_a and_o plain_a can_v be_v necessary_a if_o man_n will_v read_v the_o bible_n with_o honesty_n and_o diligence_n with_o meekness_n and_o modesty_n the_o world_n will_v quick_o come_v to_o a_o good_a agreement_n in_o thing_n requisite_a to_o salvation_n and_o for_o the_o rest_n we_o may_v entertain_v different_a notion_n and_o yet_o all_o side_n be_v safe_a and_o quiet_a and_o will_v man_n but_o preserve_v all_o that_o charity_n and_o good_a temper_n which_o become_v dispute_n of_o small_a importance_n it_o will_v signify_v but_o little_a whether_o such_o controversy_n be_v ever_o agree_v or_o not_o when_o man_n eternal_a state_n be_v bring_v into_o hazard_n when_o the_o peace_n of_o the_o public_a or_o the_o order_n of_o the_o church_n be_v break_v when_o private_a friendship_n cease_v and_o misunderstanding_n and_o bicker_n arise_v these_o be_v not_o the_o effect_n of_o difference_n in_o opinion_n but_o of_o the_o vanity_n and_o indiscretion_n the_o intemperate_a heat_n and_o bitter_a zeal_n of_o those_o who_o differ_v and_o not_o content_a to_o differ_v only_o mismanage_v and_o misunderstand_v matter_n in_o short_a hold_v the_o faith_n in_o unity_n of_o spirit_n and_o in_o the_o

of_o popularity_n and_o in_o one_o word_n not_o so_o much_o the_o want_n as_o the_o abuse_n of_o wit_n these_o be_v the_o rank_a weed_n that_o choke_v the_o good_a seed_n that_o make_v the_o word_n unfruitful_a and_o sometime_o even_o ensnare_a and_o to_o clear_v the_o soil_n of_o these_o nuisance_n must_v be_v every_o man_n be_v own_o care_n in_o short_a god_n have_v do_v as_o much_o for_o we_o as_o it_o become_v he_o to_o do_v he_o have_v leave_v necessary_a truth_n plain_a and_o obvious_a he_o will_v be_v gracious_a to_o innocent_a and_o unaffected_a ignorance_n and_o mistake_v and_o
