Rule I.
Let all obscure and difficult Texts of Scripture be constantly examined and expounded according to the Analogy or proportion of Faith, which is St. Paul's own Rule, Rom. 12. 6. Let him that prophesieth, (i. e. expoundeth the Scripture in the Church) do it according to the proportion of faith. The Analogy or proportion of Faith is what is taught plainly and uniformly in the whole Scriptures of Old and New Testament, as the rule of our Faith and Obedience. Whilst we carefully and sincerely attend hereunto, we are secured from sinful corrupting the word of God. Admit of no sense which interfereth with this proportion of Faith. If men have no regard to this, but take liberty to rend off a single Text from the body of Truth to which it belongs, and put a peculiar interpretation upon it which is absonous and discordant to other Scriptures, what woeful work will they quickly make?
