2. By this trick they would condemn Christ himself also, as adding to the Law in judgement. He will say to them, I was hungry and ye fed me not, &c. But where said the Scripture so, that such or such a man fed not Christ? It needs not: Christ knows the fact without the Scripture. The Scripture is sufficient to its own use, to be Rule of Obedience and Judgement: but it is not sufficient to every other use which it was never made for. The Law said to Cain, Thou shalt not murder. But it said not to him, Thou hast killed thy brother, therefore thou shalt die. It was the Judges part to deliver this.
3. By this trick they would give a man leave to vent any Blasphemy, or do any villainy, changing but the name. But they shall find that the Law intended not bare words, but by words to signify things: And if they do the things prohibited, or hold the opinions condemned, what ever names or words they clothe them with, they shall feel the punishment.

4. By this they would leave almost nothing provable by the Scripture, seeing a Papist or Heretic may put the same into other terms, and then call for the Proof of that. For example, they may ask where God commandeth or instituteth any one of the Sacraments in Scripture? And when we tell them where Baptism and the Lords Supper were instituted, they may reply, that there is no mention of Sacraments; and so turn real Controversies into verbal.
