Answ. I. IT is not easy to enumerate all the errors on either extreme; but only to give some instances of each. 1. They give too little to the Scriptures who deny it to be indited by inspiration of the Infallible Spirit of God, and to be wholly true. 2. And they that detract from some parts or Books of it while they believe the rest. 3. And they that think it is not given as a Law of God, and as a Rule of faith and life. 4. And they that think it is not an Universal Law and Rule for all the world, but for some parts only (supposing the predication of it). 5. And they that think it an Imperfect Law and Rule, which must be made up with the supplement of Traditions or Revelations. 6. And they that think that it was adapted only to the times it was written in▪ and1 not to ours, as not foreseeing what would be. 7. And they that think it is culpably defective in Method. 8. And they that think it culpably defective in phrase, or aptness, or elegance of style. 9. And they that think that it containeth not all that was necessary or fit for universal determination, of that kind of things which it doth at all universally determine of: As e. g. that it made two Sacraments, but not all of that kind that are fit to be made, but hath left men to invent and make more of the same nature and use. 10. And those that think that it is fitted only to the Learned, or only to the unlearned, only to Princes, or only to subjects, &c. 11. And those that think that it is but for a time, and then by alteration to be perfected as Moses Law was. 12. And those that think that the Pope, Princes or Prelates, or any men may change or alter it.
