When we are oppressed in the sense of sin, If we confess our sins, he is merciful to forgive our sins: he that is true hath said it, whose Word is not yea, and nay, but yea, trust to it. If we doubt of perseverance for the time to come: he that hath begun a good work, will perfect it to the day of the Lord. He is yea, and his Word is yea; he is true, and his Word is true.

Again, hence for our judgment we learn this truth, That the Word of God hath the same ground of truth as God himself, therefore it is the Judge 1of all Controversies: of all things questionable in Religion, the Word of God is Judge; because it is not yea, and nay, but yea, and it is true, as God is true. And it is Judge of this controversy too, whether it be the Word of God?
