The Text in the Old Testament, Isa. 8.20. To the Law, and to the Testimony, if they speak not according to this word, it is because there is no light in them. I think no man so absurd to limit it only to that particular case in the 19th. ver. but this is a standing Rule in all cases concerning God, and our duty to him. According to this word, hence Bishop Hall thus Paraphraseth, If any man speaketh either without, or against this word, it is because he hath not the true light of grace and understanding in him. Apply this to both the Questions, and tell us according to which word do they speak.
