VI. WE believe the holy Scriptures of the Old and New Testament are the Word of God, and are the only Rule of Faith, and Practice; all things being contained therein that are necessary ¹for us to know concerning God, and our Duty unto him, and also unto all Men. That all Persons ought to read, hear, and understand the holy Scriptures. That the Light of Nature, and Works of Providence, tho they declare plainly there is a God, yet not so effectually as the holy Scriptures; nor can we know without them ²how, and in what space of time God created all things. Neither came we any other ways but by ⟨p. 6⟩the holy Scriptures to the Knowledge ³of Christ the blessed Mediator; which indeed none can savingly know but by the Word and Spirit of God.
