Your 15th Qu. is, [Whether we own Revelations or no?] Ans. I own all divine Revelations, and disown all diabolical ones, so far as I know them. I own all those blessed Revelations contained in the holy Scriptures; for they were infallibly sealed by multitudes of uncontrolled miracles and a spirit of holiness; I believe that the Scriptures or Laws of Christ being finished and sealed, we must hold these till the coming of Christ, 1 Tim. 6. 13, 14. and that Christ will be with the Preachers of this same doctrine to the end of the world, Mat. 28. 20, 21. and that these are able to make men wise to salvation without any more additions, and therefore no more is to be expected. But yet I believe 1. That God hath not ⟨p. 13⟩tied himself from revealing particular matters in subservierty to Scripture extraordinarily, as divers murders have been revealed, and the like matters of fact. 2. And I believe that all true Christians have the illuminating, sanctifying Spirit of Christ to help them to know all the meaning of the Scripture which is of flat necessity to salvation, and more, according to their several measures of the Spirit with other helps.
