By these words we may gather,1 that to testify the doctrine of the Prophets and Apostles to be the truth of God, is a true note ⟨p. 14⟩of a true Prophet. And by these we may distinguish between a true Prophet and a false; if they bring the doctrine of the Apostles and the Prophets it is true, Deut. 13. If they work wonders, and their doctrine be to draw men from the true God, they are false Prophets and must be put to death. And our Saviour Christ being asked of his authority, he alleges Luk. 10. 1. Johns testimony, and confirmeth Johns testimony to be true, asking them this question, The baptism of John, was it from heaven or of men? showing that John was a true Prophet, seeing his Baptism, that is, his doctrine was from heaven.
