Will. I will add one Consideration further, to manifest that the Scriptures are the word of God; and that is, By the great Antiquity of these writings, which have been extant so many thousand years, and have passed through so many enemies hands, who •ave used all art and force to abolish them, or corrupt them, and yet they could never d• it. Moses wrote the first Five Books of Scripture above a thousand and four hundred years before Christ came, and it is above a thousand and six hundred years since Christ came, and since the G•sp•l, the last part of the Scripture, was written. Put these two Numbers together, and they make three thousand years. So long the Church have had the Scriptures: and all this while the Devil and wicked men have endeavoured either to abolish them, or corrupt them, but they could never do it; we have every word of God perfect and pure unto this day, which cannot be said of any other writing in all the world. And this wonderful divine protection of this Book, doth greatly manifest, that doubtless it is Gods own word, over which he hath bestowed such eminent care.
