§. 3. Of the Title. THE EPISTLE OF PAUL THE APOSTLE TO THE HEBREWS.
IT is not probable that this Title was set down by the first Pen-man of this Epistle. For he might as well have premised his usual inscription with his Name and Calling (which Apostles do in all other their Epistles) as have prefixed the foresaid Title.
Titles before the Apostles Epistles and Subscriptions after them, are not accounted Canonical, as the Epistles themselves: but supposed to be added by some that afterwards did transcribe the Epistles. Ford there are gross mistakings and palpable errors in many of them. And though some of them may hit the mark, and declare the truth, yet doth it not thereupon follow, that they are Canonical. Although every thing that is Canonical be most true, yet every truth is not Canonical. For that only is accounted Canonical, which wase given by inspiration of God.
