2. But he whom the Spirit of God leads, as commander in chief, believes not every spirit, but tries the spirits whether they are of God, as the Apostle exhorts all Christians to do, 1 Joh. 4.1. He makes the written Word his touchstone to try them by; He knows that whatsoever is revealed contrary to the Word of God, is not of the Spirit, for the Spirit of God doth not dispense things contrary unto, but agreeable with the Word of God, as Christ affirms, Joh. 16.13, 14, 15. The Spirit (saith Christ) shall not speak of himself, but he shall glorify me, for he shall receive of mine and show it unto you; He shall take of mine, and show it unto you; which language plainly shows, That the Spirit of God doth make use of the Word of God, and revealeth the meaning of it, but never contradicts it: Note this, all you that boast of the Spirit, and yet slight and contemn the Word.
