Here then we may note a property of the books of the old Testament;1 namely, that every one of them was written either by Moses, or some other of the Prophets. And by this we may know the Canonical books of the old Testament, and distinguish them from the books called Apocrypha: for the Apocrypha books were not penned by any of the Prophets, who spake and writ in the Hebrew tongue, the native language of the Jews; but by some other in the Greek tongue, which was not the language of the old Prophets. These books may be regarded in sundry respects, as containing many worthy Rules touching manners; in which regard, we may prefer them before other writings of men, so far forth as they are consonant with the Scripture: and so the Church of God hath of long time reverenced them; but yet they are no part of the Law, nor of the Prophets.
