1. Concerning the Scriptures.
That all Scripture is by divine inspiration, or inbreathing of God (by Scripture I mean, the Books of the old Testament, as Moses and the Prophets, and of the new Testament) and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works, 1 Tim. 3.16, 17. and that in all things which concern faith and obedience, whether in Gods Worship, or in the whole conversation of men, it holdeth forth a most perfect rule, whereunto nothing may be added, nor from it may ought be diminished, Deut. 4.2. Rev. 22.18, 19
