That God doth know whether Christ shall appear to Judgment, I suppose […] […] will deny, who acknowledge the Deity, and by consequence his omniscience and prescience, especially when the further of things doth depend upon his predetermination; an• that his revelations of future things are true, I support none will deny, who acknowledge his being and perfect […] on, whence follows an impossibility of Gods speaking […] truths, and falsehood; besides that he heed not do it […] But then the question will be, concerning the Divine Authority of the Scriptures, whether they are indeed the Word of God, which (if proved) will evidence the •• tainty of Christ's coming to Judgment, which is there ••• vealed and foretold.
