1. The Impressions or Characters, which are subjectively left in the Scripture, and upon it, by the Holy-Ghost its Author, of all the divine Excellencies or Properties of the Divine Nature, are the first Means evidencing that Testimony of the Spirit which our Faith rests upon, or they give the first Evidence of its divine Original, whereon we do believe it. The way whereby we learn the eternal Power and Deity of God from the Works of Creation, is no otherwise, but by those Marks, Tokens, and Impressions of his Divine Power, Wisdom, and Goodness that are upon them; for from the consideration of their Subsistence, Greatness, Order, and Use, Reason doth necessarily conclude an infinite subsisting Being, of whose Power and Wisdom these Things are the manifest Effects: These are clearly seen and understood by the Things that are made, so that we need no other Arguments to prove that God made the World, but it self,(b) &c.
