Wherefore we do not reject others doctrine and labours in the Church; but only setting them in their own place, we submit them unto the rule of Gods word. This doctrine first is delivered of God himself, and that not in one place only of the Scripture: as, You shall not add unto the word which I spake unto you, neither shall you take away from it. And, I protest unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, 1if any man shall add unto th•se things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book. And if any man shall diminish of the words, &c. Neither only by these words is forbidden, that no false things, and openly repugnant to the written word, be added to the doctrine of the Church, but also that no uncertain things, or things not appertaining unto it, be mingled therewith. For, it is not in the power of any creature to pronounce what we are to think of God and his will: but this is only to be learned out of that which is disclosed in his word. And therefore the men of Beraea are commended, Who searched the Scriptures daily, 2whether these things were so.
