And thus the Lord made known his will unto his servants in former times. But now we are not to expect dreams and visions, for in these last times God hath spoken unto us by his 1Son, Heb. 1. 2. The which is a far greater mercy unto us, then was showed to our Fathers of old; for whereas they were fain to wait long for the knowledge of Gods will to be revealed by vision, and oftentimes were not satisfied, because for the sins of the people the vision failed, as appeareth, 1. Sam. 3. 1. Psal. 74. 9. we have Gods will manifested in his written word, which at all times, and upon all occasions 2we may make our counsellor.
