5. That he might accommodate this to their nature;
1. He hath revealed these truths to men extraordinarily inspired. As they are to come to us by Revelation, so God chose such to whom he would make it; and by whom he would communicate it to others; and on this account we read, 2 Pet. 1. 21. Holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, and 2 Tim 3. 16. All Scripture is given by inspiration of God.
2. He hath recorded them in his written Word. In that he hath commended his mind to us, ⟨p. 32⟩and hath bidden us to Search the Scriptures, as we hope to have Eternal L••e, and hath given us this reason why we should thus do, because they testify of him, J•h. 5. 39. And it is evident, that whatsoever God would have to be known concerning Christ, and the way to life by him, in this life, is recorded in the Scriptures, and there are we to seek for it, and no where else.
