17. They that say that the Scripture is all so plain, that there is no obscure or difficult passages in them, which men are in danger of wresting to their own destruction.
18. And they that say, that All in the Scripture is so necessary to salvation (even the darkest Prophecies,)1 that they cannot be saved that understand them not all; or at least endeavour not studiously and particularly to understand them.
19. And they that say that every Book and Text must of necessity to salvation be believed to be Canonical and true.
