I answer, there are none simply infallible but God, every man is a liar: The pen-men of the Scripture were infallible, because when they were actually inspired by the Holy-Ghost, they could not err: And the spirits of all Prophets are to be tried by the word, even of Paul preaching at Berea: But it followeth not that Paul then could err. To this they answer, that false Prophets, as Balaam, could not err when they were actually inspired, no more then Canonic writers.
