You shall find by common experience how your superstitious false worshippers slight the Word of God: they are above it, they spe•k jeeringly of the Scripture and of warrants from Gods Word; Oh you must do nothing but you must have Scripture for it: They cry up Fathers and antiquity, and such and such Writers, but for the Word of God they usually contemn and scorn it.
