1. The leaves of the Balsam are white: the word of God is gpure and spotless. Peter saith, there is sincerity in it. Perfection it self was the finger that wrote it: neither could the instrumental pens blot it with any corruption: the Spirit of Grace giving inspiration, instruction, limitation: that they might say with Paul, Quod accepi a Domino, tradidi vobis: hI received of the Lord, that which I delivered to you; neither more nor less, but just weight. It is pure as Gold fined in a iseven-fold furnace. kEvery word of God is pure, saith Solomon. There is no breath or steam of sin to infect it. The Sun is darkness to it: the very Angels are short of it. It is white, immaculate, and so unblemishable, that the very mouth of the Devil could not sully it. Even the known Father of lies thought to disparage the credit of the Scriptures, by taking them into his mouth; he could not do it. They are too unchangeably white, to receive the aspersion of any spot.
1. The leaues of the Balsame are white: the word of God is gpure and spotlesse. Peter saith, there is sinceritie in it. Perfection it selfe was the finger th•t wrote it: neither could the instrumentall pennes blot it with any corruption: the Spirit of Grace giuing inspiration, instruction, limitation: that they might say with Paul, Quod accepi a Domino, tradidi vobis: hI receiued of the Lord, that which I deliuered to you; neither more nor lesse, but iust waight. It is pure as Gold fined in a iseauen-fold fornace. kEuery word of God is pure, saith Solomon. There is no breath or steame of sinne to infect it. The Sunne is darknesse to it: the very Angels are short of it. It is white, immaculate, and so vnblemishable, that the very mouth of the Diuell could not sully it. Euen the known Father of lyes thought to disparage the credit of the Scriptures, by taking them into his mouth; hee could not doe it. They are too vnchangeably white, to receiue the aspersion of any spot.
