2. Now, though it is true, it is good for a man to be right in Moral things, and to know, and cleave to that which is Truth in Morality; yet the Truths that we are here called upon to hold fast, they are Divine Truths, Supernatural Truths, Truths in Religion, Truths in the things of God.

Secondly, Again, Religious and Divine Truths, Truths of God, they are either such as are so in name, and in the estimation of some men; or else they are such Truths as are Truths of God, in the truth and reality of the thing. Now, when I say that Christians are to hold fast the Truths they have received, the meaning is not, that whatever any man, or company of men offer as Truths, should be received, and held fast; for then we must hold fast many errors: But whatever men call Truth, or offer as Truth, we must examine it by the un-erring rule of Truth, that is, the Word of God. In these things it is a clear Canon which we have, 1 Thess. 5.21. Prove all things, hold fast that which is good. Prove them by the Word of God, and if they hold Truth by that, then receive them, and hold them fast. Divine Scripture-Truths we are to hold fast.
