3.17_o do_v prove_v this_o it_o be_v able_a to_o make_v the_o man_n of_o god_n wise_a unto_o salvation_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v sufficient_a so_o deut._n 12.32_o thou_o shall_v keep_v all_o these_o commandment_n thou_o shall_v add_v naught_o thereto_o nor_o take_v aught_o therefrom_o and_o therefore_o it_o must_v needs_o be_v perfect_a that_o to_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v add_v and_o from_o which_o nothing_o can_v be_v take_v must_v needs_o be_v perfect_a also_o psal_n 19.7_o the_o law_n of_o the_o lord_n be_v perfect_a revel_v 22._o whosoever_o shall_v add_v unto_o this_o book_n god_n shall_v add_v unto_o they_o the_o plague_n that_o be_v write_v in_o this_o book_n thus_o the_o word_n testify_v of_o itself_o and_o therefore_o see_v the_o word_n be_v true_a it_o must_v needs_o be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n quest_n what_o reason_n do_v you_o show_v for_o further_a proof_n of_o this_o answ_n first_o because_o it_o be_v the_o write_a will_n and_o testimony_n of_o god_n second_o because_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v the_o law_n in_o writing_n the_o jew_n be_v never_o guide_v by_o any_o unwritten_a word_n three_o because_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n never_o prove_v their_o doctrine_n by_o any_o unwritten_a word_n to_o explain_v these_o first_o it_o be_v the_o write_a will_n and_o testimony_n of_o god_n therefore_o we_o call_v these_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n a_o man_n will_n after_o it_o be_v confirm_v no_o estate_n will_v admit_v to_o be_v alter_v therefore_o if_o we_o may_v not_o alter_v man_n will_n much_o less_o may_v we_o alter_v go_n second_o it_o be_v sufficient_a because_o that_o after_o the_o lord_n have_v give_v his_o law_n in_o writing_n the_o jew_n be_v never_o guide_v by_o tradition_n before_o the_o give_v of_o the_o law_n the_o truth_n go_v from_o hand_n to_o hand_n but_o after_o that_o god_n have_v write_v the_o law_n they_o never_o come_v to_o he_o but_o upon_o some_o especial_a occasion_n as_o for_o the_o blasphemer_n etc._n etc._n bellarmine_n confess_v this_o that_o there_o be_v some_o catholic_n speak_v with_o great_a probability_n that_o the_o jew_n after_o god_n have_v write_v the_o law_n have_v no_o tradition_n austin_n say_v in_o the_o old_a testament_n the_o gospel_n be_v hide_v but_o in_o the_o new_a testament_n it_o be_v make_v more_o plain_a if_o god_n will_v teach_v the_o jew_n by_o nothing_o but_o by_o the_o write_a word_n when_o it_o be_v more_o obscure_a much_o less_o we_o who_o have_v it_o more_o clear_a three_o because_o whatsoever_o christ_n and_o his_o apostle_n teach_v they_o prove_v by_o the_o write_a word_n thus_o say_v a_o prophet_n and_o thus_o say_v the_o psalm_n nay_o certain_o christ_n oppose_v tradition_n when_o he_o find_v that_o their_o authority_n corrupt_v the_o law_n mat._n 5._o but_o i_o say_v unto_o you_o reject_v those_o tradition_n the_o true_a word_n of_o god_n be_v this_o therefore_o the_o conclusion_n be_v that_o the_o scripture_n be_v a_o perfect_a rule_n contain_v all_o thing_n to_o be_v believe_v and_o do_v use_v 1_o the_o first_o use_n teach_v we_o that_o then_o must_v fall_v to_o the_o ground_n all_o unwritten_a tradition_n the_o ground_n of_o all_o which_o be_v say_v to_o be_v the_o insufficiency_n of_o the_o scripture_n but_o if_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a than_o tradition_n have_v nothing_o to_o lean_v upon_o but_o it_o be_v blasphemy_n to_o think_v that_o god_n will_v not_o perfect_v that_o word_n he_o begin_v and_o therefore_o tradition_n be_v nothing_o oh_o say_v they_o the_o scripture_n do_v not_o contain_v all_o fundamental_a point_n for_o faith_n to_o this_o i_o answer_v if_o they_o have_v say_v the_o scripture_n do_v not_o contain_v all_o the_o fundamental_a point_n of_o their_o faith_n i_o will_v willing_o subscribe_v to_o it_o the_o word_n of_o god_n no_o where_o speak_v of_o saint_n peter_n successor_n the_o word_n no_o where_o speak_v of_o invocation_n of_o saint_n prayer_n for_o the_o dead_a indulgence_n and_o pardon_n these_o thing_n the_o scripture_n do_v not_o contain_v but_o these_o be_v all_o of_o they_o contrary_a to_o the_o foundation_n but_o we_o believe_v nothing_o as_o necessary_a to_o salvation_n beside_o the_o scripture_n we_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o saint_n keep_v many_o excellent_a speech_n and_o say_n of_o christ_n as_o that_o in_o the_o act_n as_o the_o lord_n say_v it_o be_v a_o more_o bless_a thing_n to_o give_v then_o to_o receive_v but_o if_o there_o be_v any_o such_o tradition_n that_o be_v not_o for_o substance_n to_o be_v find_v in_o the_o word_n that_o we_o reject_v because_o the_o scripture_n be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o conclusion_n we_o will_v end_v with_o a_o speech_n of_o st._n austin_n i_o seek_v in_o the_o gospel_n if_o i_o find_v it_o not_o there_o where_o shall_v i_o find_v it_o so_o may_v i_o say_v if_o we_o find_v not_o tradition_n in_o the_o word_n where_o shall_v we_o find_v they_o use_v 2._o this_o teach_v the_o minister_n of_o god_n that_o they_o must_v prove_v the_o doctrine_n they_o teach_v unto_o the_o people_n where_o shall_v they_o have_v that_o light_n no_o where_o but_o from_o the_o word_n they_o must_v not_o follow_v the_o vision_n of_o any_o man_n but_o only_o the_o word_n wherein_o god_n have_v comprise_v every_o thing_n that_o he_o will_v have_v his_o people_n teach_v as_o it_o be_v in_o the_o creation_n the_o light_n be_v at_o large_a before_o the_o sun_n be_v create_v but_o after_o that_o be_v create_v god_n enclose_v all_o light_n in_o
