Sect. 1. Having laid in the foregoing Chapter the foundation that we are to build and proceed upon, I come now to lay down the Enquiry, whose Resolution must thence be educed. That then which we are seeking after is; How We, and the rest of men in the world, who through the merciful dispensation of God, have the Book or Books wherein the Scripture given out from him as above declared, is contained, or said to be contained, who live so many Ages from the last Person who received any part of it immediately from God, or who have not received it immediately our selves, may come to be ascertained, as to all ends and purposes wherein we may be concerned therein, that the whole and entire written word in that Book, or those Books, hath the original & consequently the Authority that it pleads and avows, namely that it is, [Greek or Hebrew] and not [Greek or Hebrew], from God, in the way and manner laid down, and not the Invention of men, attending [Greek or Hebrew]. ⟨p. 31⟩2 Pet. 1. 26; or to cunningly devised fables.
