It's hard to find in any Scripture these very words in terminis before this time: and therefore Augustin thinks it was only the word God spake but not written, and so they had it from hand to hand by tradition as many other things, as the Prophecy of Enoch that the Apostle Jude speaks of, you do not find it written in the Book of God, and yet the Apostle speaks of it, so that indeed it was from hand to hand: yea and we find in the new Testament when Paul speaks of a thing that Christ should say, how that our Lord saith, It is a more blessed thing to give than to receive; you find it not recorded in the Gospels that Christ said so.
