7. Strong and courageous fighting, even to overcoming, gets for a reward the hid manna, the white stone, and the new name written thereon, which no man can read but he that receives it: now fighting and overcoming is by the word of the spirit, Rev. 2. 17. Eph. 6. 17. and faith in the word, 1 John 5. 4. Enthusiasts tell us of a dumb and Scriptureless persuasion by which men are persuaded they are chosen to salvation, and can know others by the face that are so chosen.

8. The true spirit leads unto all truth, John 16. 13 and opens the true sense of the Scriptures, and leads no man by a new wild-fire light; nor doth the spirit of God sway and determine a topic conjectural way, while there is a speculative doubting as touching any light from Scripture, whether the course be lawful or warranted by the word or not: for the spirit of God leads by Scriptures infallibility, Isa. 59. 20, 21.
