The right Interpretation of Scripture Ye shall put nothing to the word which I command you neither shall ye take ought therefrom Deut. 4.2 VVHen thou readest the Scripture let the Text interpret the Text and grope not to winde thy self out of the Labyrinth of those sacred Oracles by the clue of thine own private spirit nor conceit thy self wiser then the Omniscient To wrest Scripture is to father a lye on the Spirit of Truth and he that betrays the Word to a sense the Spirit never meant it Sophisticates the great Seal of Heaven and hath no share therein the Plagues therein denounced onely excepted Whether then thou readest to thy self or expoundest to others do not gloss the holy Text with unintelligible notions the Bastard-comment of a Weathercock-faith nor bespatter the splendor of such a glorious Light with the scarce vapor-proof atomes of an erroneous muddy judgement Many Revelations are arrived of late some no question came from beyond the world are Commissioned from Heaven have the Seal of the Spirit indeed whose authority admits not of dispute such onely are the faithful interpreters of the holy Language other Revelations there are which came from below the world are Commissioned from Hell have the Seal of the Beast on them these also pretend a title to our faith but believe not every Spirit 1 John 4.1 To take the crutch from the Lame by the impudent assertions of a blinde yet wilful judgement is the inhumanest piece of imperious ignorance in the world and to mis-guide the doubtful Pilgrim under pretence of a more compendious way to the New Jerusalem then was ever yet discovered is to incur the curse of Heaven the thanks of Hell and the blackest guilt of the highest murther No Scripture may be construed by the corrupt Dictionary of any ill-byass'd Spirit or according to the Analogy of private interests he that strains the Scripture to a note the Spirit never tuned it perverts it to his own destruction Ye shall put nothing to the word which I command
