Q. 1. How can the Scriptures be called the Word of God, seeing the things contained therein, were spoken and written by men?
A. They are truly and properly called the Word of God, because they came not by the Will of Man, but holy Men of God spoke as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, 2 Pet. 1.21.
Q. 2. What are the principal Arguments to persuade us that the Scriptures are of Divine Authority, and Inspiration?
A. Three things especially convince us. First The Holiness of the Doctrine therein contained. Secondly, The awful efficacy ⟨p. 4⟩thereof on the Soul. Thirdly, The uncontrollable Miracles by which they are sealed, put it beyond all rational doubt, that they are the very Word of God.
