8. But there is no Law but may many wayes be broken, and no Doctrine but may be divers wayes opposed. And therefore though we yield that nothing but the express words of God are the Scripture, for terms and sence, yet many thousand words may be against Scripture, that be not there expresly forbidden in terms.

Where Scripture is the more debile, there the conclusion is of Scripture faith: but where the fact or Proposition from the Light of Nature is more debile, there the conclusion is of Natural Evidence: But in both, of Divine discovery. For there is no Truth and Light but from God the Father of Lights. This is our judgement herein.
