Ioy is the companion and salvation the end of faith No ground of sollid peace true ioy can be wanting where fulnes therof is found to spring and the meane is not imperfect which begets a perfect faith nor doth that faith frustrate which brings salvation The Evangelist S.

Lukes diligence which was not perfunctorie 2. The successe that perfectly 3. The extent that all 4. Their authoritie that no other then the Apostles themselues delivered 5. The estate of the person to whom they were dedicated Theophilus who before had heard and been instructed in them 6. The state of the time wherein Theophilus lived hauing himselfe heard beene taught of the Apostles 7. The end of committing these things to writing which was to cōfirme him in the things he knew convince plainely 1. That not only that which the Apostles taught as necessary to salvatiō is writtē 2. But also that the writing of such things is more necessarie on our parts who heard not the Apostles preachings instructions as he did 3. And to beleeue and embrace nothing of things necessary as Apostolical which hath not scriptū est for the best warrant They falsifie such attributes as confirme the same Is not grace an infallible earnest of glorie By the word wee are brought and stablished in this happie state else why is it called the word of grace Seeke we more then life By the light of this Lanterne we are led thereto Else were it mis●earmed the word of life Desire we better things thē such as doe accompanie salvation it reveales the same and how to attaine them Else should the spirit delude the Church Need we more or other food then that which nourisheth to life and it eternall And if when we were enemies wee were reconciled to God by the death of his sonne much more being reconciled by the ministers of the word wee shall be saued by his life Either these titles are vntruths or the Scriptures containe all necessarie truth for reformatiō of life and sincerity of beleefe Admitting them we cānot beleeue the scriptures which purposely and peremptorily forbid all additions of men Ad thou not vnto his words least hee reproue thee thou be found a lyar which trade of lying and making of their owne if with the popish crew it were
