Again it is written,] Seeing our Saviour Christ doth allege another place of Scripture, to expound that the Devil brought against him, and to show how he abused Scripture: hence we gather, that the holy Scriptures are of themselves sufficient to interpret themselves,1 for so Christ allegeth another text of scripture to expound that which Satan allegeth, and to confute his abusing of it.2 So we find that Ezra did expound the law of God, and gives the sense of it by the scriptures, and so expounds the one by the other, Nehem. 8. 9. (Junius.) Now if the servants of God could do this in the old Testament, how much more may we in the new, wherein many things are most plainly opened and expounded by Christ and his Apostles?
Againe it is written,] Seeing our Sauior Christ doth alleage another place of Scripture, to expound that the Diuel brought against him, and to shew how he abused Scripture: hence we gather, that the holy Scriptures are of themselues sufficient to interprete themselues,1 for so Christ alleageth another text of scripture to expound that which Satan alleageth, and to confute his abusing of it.2 So we find that Ezra did expound the law of God, and giues the sense of it by the scriptures, and so expounds the one by the other, Nehem. 8. 9. (Iunius.) Now if the seruants of God could do this in the old Testament, how much more may we in the new, wherein many things are most plainely opened and expounded by Christ and his Apostles?
