II. God himselfe speaketh in the vvrightings of the Prophets and Apostles.
But we know that God, (though he hath not meanly or obscurely manifested the knowledge of himself and his everlasting power and deity, to all men in the world, by ⟨p. 2⟩such works as are done by him, so that as many as have not glorified him as god, are made inexcusable) yet in a more peculiar forte, he hath revealed himself and his will to his Church very plainly & perspicuously namely by Prophets and Apostles, inspired by his grace, and by their writings: and therefore these writings of the Prophets and Apostles to be the very true word of God.
