The Scripture tendeth also to the eternal good of men. It is helpful to beget a soul to Christ; Of his own will begat he us again by the Word of truth. The Word of grace is instrumental for the conveyance of grace, Act. 2.37. Rom. 10. 14. It is helpful to build the soul up in Christ; as new born babes desire the sincere milk of the word, that ye may grow thereby, 1 Pet. 2. 2. Grace is increased by the same means, by which it is generated; as the same Sun that begets some living creatures is helpful for their growth. The Word of God, of stones raiseth up children to Abraham, and of Children maketh Young men and Fathers. It is so penned, that all sorts of persons, all ranks of Christians may be directed into the way of truth, and guided by it in the way of life. It is able to make us wise to salvation: To show the path of life, 2 Tim. 3. 15. Psa. 16. 11. As Joshua, it leads the Israelites into Canaan. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable.
