This word is the true Manna: it is the bread which came down from Heaven: it is the key of the kingdom of heaven: it is the savour of life unto life: it is the power of God unto salvation. In it God showeth unto us his might, his wisdom, and his glory. By it he will be known of us. By it he will be honoured of his creatures. Whatsoever truth is brought unto us contrary to the word of God, it is not truth but falsehood, and error: whatsoever honour done unto God, disagreeth from the honour required by his word, it is not honour unto God, but blasphemy.1 As Christ saith, In vain they worship me, teaching for doctrines mens precepts. 2By Isaiah God saith, Who required this at your hands? And by Jeremiah, 3I spake not unto your Fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings & Sacrifices. But this thing commanded I them, saying, obey my voice, and I will be your God, ⟨p. 124⟩and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways which I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. 4Again, What is the Chaff to the Wheat, saith the Lord? What are your dreams to be weighed with the truth of God? Search the Scriptures: In them ye shall learn to know me, and how you should worship me: in them you shall find everlasting life: the words of the Lord are pure words, as the silver tried in the furnace: there is no filth, nor dross, remaining in them. They are the storehouse of wisdom, and of the knowledge of God. In respect whereof, all the wisdom of this world is but vain & foolish.
This word is the true Manna: it is the bread which came downe from Heauen: it is the key of the kingdom of heauen: it is the sauour of life vnto life: it is the power of God vnto saluation. In it God sheweth vnto vs hys mighte, hys wisedome, and his glorie. By it he wil be knowen of vs. By it he will be honored of his creaturs. Whatsoeuer truth is brought vnto vs contrarie to the word of God, it is not truth but falsehoode, and errour: whatsoeuer honour done vnto God, disagréeth from the honor required by his worde, it is not honour vnto God, but blasphemie.
