The Apology, Cap. 9. Division. 1.
The Apologie, Cap. 9. Diuision. 1.
We receive, and embrace all the Canonical Scriptures, both of the Old, and New Testament, giving thanks to our God, who hath raised up unto us that Light, which we might ever have before our eyes: lest either by the subtlety of man, or by the snares of the Devil, we should be carried away to errors and lies. Also that these be the Heavenly Voices, whereby God hath opened unto us his will: and that only in them mans heart can have settled rest: that in them be abundantly, and fully comprehended all things, what so ever be needful for our Health, as Origene, Augustine, Chrysostom, and Cyrillus have taught: That they be the very might and strength of God to attain to Salvation: That they be the Foundations of the Prophets, & Apostles, whereupon is built the Church of God: That they be the very sure, and infallible Rule, whereby may be tried whether the Church do swerve, or err, and whereunto all Ecclesiastical Doctrine ought to be called to account: and that against these Scriptures neither Law, nor Ordinance, nor any custom ought to be heard: no though Paul him self, or an Angel from Heaven should come, & teach the contrary.
