Observ. As we may see at large proved. Psalm. 19.7, &c. Where whatsoever is Good, Comfortable, Profitable, or Delightful, either for this life or the life to come is all to be had from thence. And the Wise man saith,1 Every word of God is pure, &c. A similitude taken from gold which is fined till it be pure, as it is expressed in another place, The words of the Lord are pure words, 2as silver tried in a furnace of earth and purified seven times. 3And so the Apostle to Timothy. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for Doctrine, for Correction, for Reproof, for instruction in Righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
