Answ. Though the Scripture cannot speak with the voice of a man, yet it doth speak as a Law doth speak, declaring what is the will and counsel of God. And cannot we understand the mind of a man as we•l by his writing, as by hearing of him speak; and the rather, seeing we may the more ponder every word. And yet the Scripture doth give a mouth unto the Scripture, if we mark it w•ll; as Matth. 22.31. [what is spoken unto you of God] how spake God unto you, but by the Scriptures; Joh. 7.42. [saith not, &c.] Joh. 19.24. [which saith;] and especially that, Heb. 12.5. [which speaketh, &c.]
