Modern spelling is a reading aid: the words are the author’s, only the spelling is modernized. Original shows the page as printed, with the transcription marks.
The inference of the foresaid record upon Christs forwardness to do Gods will, giveth proof, that Christ was induced to do such and such things, because they were foretold of him. In the volume of the Book it is written of me, saith Christ, therefore I come to do thy will O God. To this purpose may fitly▪ be applied, these and such like phrases, That it might be fulfilled, which was spoken, Mat. 4. 13. For it is written. How then shall the Scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be? Mat. 26. 31, 54.

1. The written word was an express Declaration of Gods will, and that so much the more sure, because written: the very recording thereof added weight thereto. Laws written are the more authentic. 2. The writing of Gods mind made it to be the more distinctly, expressly and fully known. 3. By writing it, it continued the longer, even to many ages, and so received the greater approbation of many Generations one after another. On these grounds it is said of the Scriptures, we have a more sure word of prophecy, 2 Pet. 1. 19.
