Whatever Doctrine or Practice seeks credit to it self this way, falls justly thereby under suspicion, that it wants a solid Scripture-foundation.
God hath not left his People to seek satisfaction in such uncertain ways as these; but hath given them a surer word of Prophecy, to which they do well to take heed, 2 Pet. 1. 19. He hath tied us to the standing Rule of the Word, forbidding us to give heed to any other Voice, or Spirit, leading us another way, Isa. 8. 19. 2 Thess. 2. 1, 2. Gal. 1. 8. Scripture-light is a safe and sure Light, a pleasant and sufficient Light.

The Scripture (saith Luther) is so full, that as for Visions and Revelations, nec curo, nec desidero, I neither regard, nor desire them. And when he himself had a Vision of Christ after a day of fasting and prayer, he cried out, Avoid Satan, I know no Image of Christ, but the Scripture. An hankering mind after these things, speaks a sickly and distempered state of Soul, as longing after Trash in young distempered Persons, doth a distempered state, or ill habit of Body.
