A discourse concerning meekness and quietness of spirit to which is added, A sermon…

[…] The Word of God the great Rule of our Religion is every where spoken against, so it was […] was first preached, wherever the Apo•••es […] preaching the Doctrine of Christ they […] those that spake against it, contradicting and […]. So it is, now it is […], Atheists speak against the Scriptures as not of Authority, […] speak against it as dark and uncertain further than it is expounded, and supported by the Authority of their Church, which^* receives unwritten Traditions pari pietatis affectu ac reverentiâ, with the same pious affection and reverence that they receive the Scripture, nay, and if we may judge by their practice, with much more. Thus is the Word of God blasphemed by them who call themselves the Temple of the Lord. But if we take away Revelation (as the Deists do) all Religion will soon be lost, and if we derogate from the Scriptures (as the Papists do) all Revelation is much endangered.
