Some would make us beholding to Tradition: but others more rationally, suppose the Apostle to entitle this Doctrine ⟨p. 63⟩to the Lord; not as if any where delivered in terminis, in so many express letters and syllables, but as a divine Truth, deduceable from the general doctrine which the Lord Jesus did deliver in his Sermons and discourses, touching the raising of the dead.
And to this judgment I do much incline, as the more safe and warrantable; Christ's own words being a much more solid foundation to build an Article of Faith upon, than either Tradition or Revelations.
Witness the Holy Ghost, in the mouth of the Apostle St. Peter. 1We have also a more sure word of Prophecy; more sure then what? Why, more sure than the Voice which the Disciples heard from Heaven, when they were with Christ in the Mount, ver. 18. An infallible Oracle, attested by infallible Witnesses; and yet behold the written Word is a surer bottom for our Faith to stand upon, in taking up divine doctrine than that, because, though the voice from Heaven was in it self, [Greek or Hebrew] infallible; yet the holy Scriptures being the standing *Testimony and Expositor of Gods mind to the world; it is a more authentic Touch-stone to try Truth by, then a Voice from Heaven, which may be Counterfeited by Satan and Satanical Imposture.
