The Montanists and Enthusiasts talk of revelations, and some now a days of a light within them; the canon of Scripture is above any revelation. The Apostle speaks of a voice from heaven, 2 Pet. 1. 18.1 and this voice which came from heaven, we heard when we were with him in the holy Mount; yet, saith he, we have, [Greek or Hebrew], a more sure word. The Word of God2 ought to be more sacred, and infallible to us, then a voice from heaven.3
