happily bring them from under the power of Satan unto God I shall treat of both these distinctly beginning with the former First That the Scriptures are the only means appointed by God for the Conviction Conversion and the Salvation of Sinners drawn from Abraham's answer to the Rich Man's Petition that he would send Lazarus away with a special Commission to his surviving Brethren No they have Moses and the Prophets let them hear them The Word of God is a Declaration of his Will concerning Mankind who desiring their eternal Good hath by Moses and the Prophets sent and commissioned after him prescribed the Methods in a plain and familiar manner to be used and prosecuted to that end He therefore inserts his Prerogative and the undeniable claim he has to our Worship and the best of our Services as the Lord our God the Contriver and Builder of the Universe our Creator who breathed into us the breath of Life and we became living Souls And to strengthen the belief of those Truths written and dispersed by his chosen Servants graciously condescended to come down from Heaven eclipsed with Humanity and supplied the defects of his Laws delivered in the Minority of the World And lest by additions and seeming alterations the Jews with whom he chiefly conversed should stagger in the belief of the Mosaical Traditions tells them Matth. 5.17 Think not that I am come to destroy the Law and the Prophets I am not come to destroy but to fullfil more emphatically to reveal the full intent and meaning of the Law anciently delivered that Men may be put out of scruple and doubt concerning their Duty and the terms upon which their Salvation is promised And therefore St. Paul to create a separate veneration and high esteem for Sacred Writ gives an excellent Commendation and pathetick Encomium of it 2. Tim. 3.16 17. It is profitable says he for doctrine for reproof for correction for instruction in righteousness that the man of God may be perfect throughly furnished unto all good works That is the holy Scriptures termed the Old and New Testament are undeniably profitable to instruct us in the belief of those Propositions absolutely necessary to Salvation to convince us of any truth which consists with our happiness or of any sin the allowed practice of which will sink us into the Abyss of Misery to correct us when straying to shew us the right path and to bring us to rights to instruct us in that righteousness in which we must appear before God to the end that Christians may be as perfect in this frail state as they can be aptly prepared to every good work commendable and praise-worthy in the sight of God And in the 15th Verse he urges That the Scriptures are able to make us wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus they have sufficiency of Doctrine to make us wise enough to get to Heaven if we have a genuine Faith in Jesus Christ receiving him as our Saviour and a Faith assenting and agreeing to these holy Writings as the revelation of the Divine Will So that it is fond flattery for Men to disregard the Oracles of God as if they were only Human Inventions composed and written in a melancholy studious humour or by strength of fancy and expect extraordinary revelations to convince and convert them as an Angel from above cloathed with the brightness of glory with a special Commission in his Hand to make them believe that there is a Heaven and a damned Spirit from beneath with the woful marks of Divine vengeance upon him wringing his hands tearing his hair gnashing his teeth and telling them what terrible preparations God has provided for impenitent sinners to beget in them the belief of a Hell God is not obliged to convert Men after such an extraordinary manner nor indeed is it reasonable he should since he has revealed his mind concerning Mankind to his Servant Moses and to the Prophets after him and confirmed the same by his Son working mighty Miracles and astonishing Wonders and by him delivered to the Apostles who converted many convinced them of their errors and fixed them in the profession of Christianity and by them handed down to us Wherefore should God detract from the power authority and truth of his holy Word by reforming Men after a strange and unusual course The nice and stubborn Pharisees notwithstanding those numberless Miracles which our Saviour wrought in their view to possess them with the belief of his Divinity and that he had his Commission from God the Father impertinently required a sign from him something extraordinary more than he had already done expecting that such a Mission should be so confirmed Either perhaps that he would alter the course of the Sun or make it stand still as it did upon the Dial of Ahaz or that he would demand a Guard of Angels from Heaven who should testifie his Authority and that he was no Impostor as they prophanely suspected or it may be that he would cause a Voice from Heaven to thunder in their Ears that he was the Son of God and threaten them with Damnation if they disputed the Truth of it To this our blessed Lord answers An evil and adulterous Generation seeketh after a Sign but there shall no Sign be given them I have wrought Miracles enough to convince them if they were not harder than the nethermost Mill-stone I filled five thousand Persons with five Loaves and two Fishes and of the fragments thereof remained twelve Baskets full I raised Lazarus to life who had been dead four days With a word I have cast out Devils out of those who were possessed opened the Eyes of those who were born blind A Woman that had an Issue of Blood twelve years and had spent all her Substance with Physicians for cure was perfectly made whole by touching the hem of my Garment The Lame and Paralitick are restored to Health and Strength by me without medicinal Applications The Widows Son of Nain who was carrying forth in order to be buried received life again by my command Arise Abundance more Miracles of this kind I have wrought before you O ye of little faith to convince you that I am sent from God But still retaining Prejudice and Malice against me whereby you are hardened and seared with Infidelity there shall no other Sign be shewn to satisfie your vain Curiosity since enough has been done to make impartial and ingenuous Minds believe that I act by a Divine Power and consequently have received my Commission from God To run parallel God having revealed his Will concerning Mankind now called the Old and New Testament the former relating to Moses and the Prophets who were chosen and peculiar Ambassadors commissioned by and immediately employed under God to spread the knowledge of his Laws and to insinuate with his Creatures to revere the Sanction thereof The latter pertaining to the Blessed Jesus who was impowered and authorized by his Father to
