§. 7. It is here supposed, that God hath not a Voice to speak by as man hath; but yet that he can cause a voice at his pleasure, either by the use of a creature, that ⟨p. 34⟩naturally hath a voice, or by the motion of other creatures, a thousand ways, of which it is not needful for us to be acquainted.

§. 8. When God revealeth his mind, not by voice, but by inward Inspiration, it carrieth its own notifying Evidence with it, which no man can formally conceive of, but he that hath it; But this is the case of Prophetical persons only, and not of us.
§. 9. In this Question, How to know that a Revelation is of God? It is supposed that the Revelation it self, that is, the notifying sign, whether Voice, Writing, or other Act or thing, be known already, For we must first know that such a thing really is, before we can know whence it is. And this is afterward to be spoken of.
