a_o little_a the_o more_o upon_o it_o but_o first_o we_o shall_v lay_v down_o some_o preliminary_a proposition_n 1._o we_o do_v not_o say_v the_o scripture_n be_v a_o rule_n to_o we_o as_o write_v though_o they_o be_v so_o when_o they_o be_v write_v 2._o we_o do_v not_o suppose_v that_o the_o revelation_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n in_o scripture_n be_v a_o general_a rule_n to_o christians_n jew_n and_o all_o our_o forefather_n from_o adam_n before_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n be_v commit_v to_o writing_n 3._o we_o positive_o assert_v that_o neither_o god_n nor_o christ_n but_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n reveal_v to_o mankind_n either_o write_v or_o unwritten_a be_v a_o general_a rule_n the_o unwritten_a revelation_n before_o the_o scripture_n be_v put_v into_o writing_n and_o the_o write_v ever_o since_o and_o further_o we_o say_v that_o revelation_n of_o the_o mind_n of_o god_n convey_v to_o we_o by_o write_v in_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o salvation_n be_v the_o only_a complete_a and_o general_a rule_n to_o we_o to_o who_o it_o be_v so_o convey_v for_o our_o faith_n and_o practice_n and_o not_o god_n nor_o christ_n essential_o or_o substantial_o consider_v nor_o any_o immediate_a revelation_n not_o that_o we_o deny_v all_o immediate_a revelation_n in_o these_o last_o day_n but_o we_o say_v god_n do_v not_o ordinary_o bestow_v it_o and_o that_o because_o he_o have_v take_v care_n in_o his_o providence_n that_o in_o this_o last_o age_n there_o shall_v be_v no_o need_n of_o it_o have_v provide_v the_o scripture_n as_o a_o supplement_n of_o that_o want_n neither_o if_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o immediate_a revelation_n to_o a_o person_n now_o as_o former_o to_o the_o apostle_n yet_o carry_v not_o the_o same_o evidence_n to_o we_o to_o oblige_v we_o in_o our_o faith_n and_o practice_n as_o the_o apostle_n revelation_n do_v they_o can_v be_v no_o rule_n to_o we_o they_o that_o have_v they_o and_o have_v good_a assurance_n they_o have_v so_o on_o god_n name_n let_v they_o believe_v and_o obey_v they_o if_o they_o please_v 1_o st_o we_o prove_v the_o light_n within_o can_v be_v no_o rule_n to_o we_o 1._o because_o it_o teach_v not_o all_o thing_n necessary_a to_o our_o salvation_n the_o light_n within_o can_v never_o have_v instruct_v we_o about_o the_o fall_n of_o man_n or_o our_o recovery_n by_o jesus_n christ_n how_o then_o can_v it_o have_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o our_o faith_n as_o to_o these_o particular_n sure_o you_o dare_v not_o deny_v but_o these_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v believe_v we_o have_v have_v a_o deep_a silence_n of_o this_o thing_n to_o this_o day_n have_v we_o not_o have_v tiding_n of_o they_o in_o our_o scripture_n or_o some_o other_o revelation_n of_o they_o we_o can_v never_o have_v know_v there_o have_v be_v a_o spirit_n of_o christ_n or_o a_o scripture_n as_o they_o call_v it_o for_o they_o dare_v not_o call_v it_o trinity_n as_o if_o there_o be_v some_o magic_n in_o that_o latin_a word_n but_o from_o the_o scripture_n and_o if_o the_o light_n within_o be_v the_o same_o with_o christ_n and_o the_o spirit_n of_o christ_n as_o quaker_n say_v i_o must_v believe_v first_o that_o there_o be_v such_o a_o light_n such_o a_o christ_n and_o such_o a_o spirit_n of_o christ_n which_o i_o can_v do_v but_o by_o the_o scripture_n before_o i_o can_v believe_v any_o thing_n upon_o their_o authority_n unless_o i_o must_v believe_v a_o doctrine_n upon_o the_o authority_n of_o a_o rule_n of_o who_o be_v and_o existence_n i_o have_v no_o evidence_n sufficient_a to_o induce_v i_o to_o believe_v it_o so_o that_o the_o scripture_n only_o can_v be_v the_o rule_n of_o such_o a_o faith_n the_o truth_n be_v the_o light_n within_o be_v not_o the_o rule_n but_o the_o rational_a sight_n or_o eye_n
