The Answer to all this by the Adversaries.
I. By the Infidels, [The Scripture is not the Word of God.] II. By the Mahometans in special: [The followers of Christ altered it.] III. By Papists, Scripture is to us but what the Church declareth of it; 1. The reading of it, and rejecting supplemental Tradition by the Vulgar▪ causeth heresies. IV. By the Quaker, It is the light within us that is our Rule. V. The Enthusiasts, or Fanatics, We must try Scripture by the Spirit, and not the Spirit by the Scripture: (the Apostles Spirit by ours, and not our low measure by theirs▪) VI. The seekers. The Scripture must first be recovered by a true Ministry. VII. The Cabbalist and Familist; It is not to be understood Literally, but Mystically. VIII. The Antinomian Libertine: The written word, or at least all that prescribeth duty and hath conditional promises, is but a Covenant of works. The Covenant of Grace is only the Spirits Effectual work: I will, and you shall.
