Read the Word as a perfect Rule of ⟨p. 25⟩¹Faith; it contains all things essential to salvation^*. I adore the fullness of Scripture, saith Tertullian. The Word teacheth us how to please God; how to order our conversation in the world: it instructs us in all things that belong either to Prudence or Piety. How should we read the Word with care and reverence, when it contains a perfect Model and Platform of Religion; and is able to make us wise to salvation, 2 Tim. 3. 17.
