The pattern of wholesome words. Or a collection of such truths as are of necessity to be believed unto salvation separated out of the body of all theology made evident by infallible plain proofs of Scripture.

Against this last principle may be objected the words of the Apostle, 11 Cor. 15.24. Then ⟨p. 325⟩shall be the end, when he hath delivered the kingdom up to God, even the Father, when he hath put down all rule, and all authority, and power.
