Sect. 8. But what doth this Law and Testimony, that is, this written Word plead, on the account whereof, it should be thus attended unto? What doth it urge for its Acceptation? Tradition, Authority of the Church, Miracles, consent of men? or doth it speak [Greek or Hebrew], and stand only upon its own Sovereignty? The Apostle gives us his Answer to this Enquiry, 2 Tim. 3. 16. [Greek or Hebrew]. Its Plea for Reception in Comparison with, and Opposition unto all other ways of coming to the ⟨p. 58⟩knowledge of God, his Mind and Will, founded whereon, it calls for attendance and submission with supreme uncontrollable Authority is its [Greek or Hebrew] or divine inspiration. It remains then only to be enquired, whether, when [Greek or Hebrew] is pleaded, there be any middle way, but either that it be received with divine faith, or rejected as false.
