We must know the Scripture is two ways to be considered. 1. As it was written & penned by holy men, and so it is later then the Church: for Moses was the first penman of Scripture: but secondly, as it is the word of God, the substance, sense, and truth thereof is much more ancient than the Church: yea, without the word of God, there can be no Church: For, without faith is no Church (because the Church is a company of believers) and without the word it is no faith: therefore no word, no faith: no faith, no Church. So then the Scripture was afore the Church, but penned after.
