HEBREWS 1. Vers. 1, 2, 3. God, who at sundry times, and in divers manners spake in time past unto the Fathers by the Prophets, 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds: 3. Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sate down on the right hand of the Majesty on high.

True it is, that there is the same authority, even a divine authority of both: And that they are both a manifestation of Gods will. Therefore God is said to speak by the Ministers of both. God being the author of the one and the other, they are both of the like authority: and God speaking in both, both declare the will of God. God spake in times past, and God spake in these last days: The same God by the Prophets and by his Sonne.
