Now concerning the proof of doctrine in Scripture, we must observe:
1. That the testimony of God only is authentical.
2. That a divine testimony now adays is no where to be had, but in the Scripture.
3. The testimony of Scripture is sufficient for all things needful to salvation, 2 Tim. 3.
4. That we, both Ministers and people, should have recourse to the Scriptures for warrant for what we teach, believe, or do: For if Christ and the Apostles, men privileged from error, do yet for honours sake allege the testimony of Scripture; then much more ought we to have recourse to what is written, seeing we can have no assurance that we err not, but as we are warranted by the Word. Thus of the first point.
