5. And how can any Prophecies be known by their own evidence to be Divine, (till they are fulfilled and that shall prove it.)
I know that the whole frame together of the Christian Religion […] its sufficient Evidence, but we must not be guilty of a peevish rejecting it. The […] part […] its witness within us, in that state of holiness which it imprinteth on the soul; and the rest are witnessed, to or proved partly by that, and partly by Miracles, and those and the records by historical evidence. But when God hath made many things necessary to the full evidence, and wranglers through partiality and Contention against each others will some throw away one part and some another, they will all prove destroyers of the faith (as all dividers be.) If the Papist will say, It is Tradition and not inherent Evidence, or if others will say that it is inherent evidence alone, and not history or Tradition, where God hath made both needful hereunto, ⟨p. 63⟩both will be found injurious to the faith.
