Either you come from God, or no, If you do, show me his word, and I'll believe it? if not, open your pack where you please, &c. where ⟨p. 355⟩God doth not find a mouth to speak, where you have not a precept, promise, threatening or example in the word of God, let them talk their hearts out, 'tis nothing to me, to my Religion, to my salvation.
