R. I grant that where the Copies disagree by various Readings, we are no more sure that any of them is the word of God, than we are sure, that such a Copy is righter than all that differ from it. But as long as the essence of Christianity on which our Salvation is laid, is in the Covenant of Grace, explained in Credondis in the Creed, and in Petendis, in the Lords Prayer, and in Agendis in the Decalogue as explained by Christ. And no one Duty or material doctrine of our Religion dependeth on the various Lections, but those texts that Agree are sufficient to establish them all; yea, as Franc. à Sancta Clara system. fid. professeth, the ordinary Translations so agree, as that no material point of Religion doth depend on any of their differences; It is as much as we assert, that the Agreeing Original Copies, ⟨p. 57⟩and the sound-Translations, so far as they are such, are the True Infallible word of God; the former both as to words and sense, and the later as to sense alone. Do you not grant this?
