As for those that can wipe off all this with the jeer and blasphemy of an old Testament Spirit, I dare be bold to say, and fear not the breach of charity in it, let them be who they will, whether Teachers or Taught, Doctors, or Disciples, they be of the number of the Apostles Separatists 1mockers, walking after their own lusts, sensual, having not the Spirit; they have not the Spirit, neither old-Testament-Spirit, nor new-Testament-Spirit; for it was but one and the same Spirit of God that dictated both Testaments to the pen-men thereof: all Scripture is [Greek or Hebrew] given by inspiration, 2the breathing of God, even the old as well as the new. For Prophecy came not of old time by the will of man, but holy men of God spake as they were inspired by the holy Ghost. As for them that can wipe out an whole Testament of divine truth, 3with a wet finger (without which the other may well suffer a deleatur also) the punishment of their blasphemy, is Prophesied before hand (without repentance) God shall blot out their name out of the book of life.4
