This Scripture, or the word of God ••ntained in this Scripture, is the ^arule •th of faith and life, for all the true worshippers of God: because God is the ^bau•our of it, who cannot lye, and hath authority to command all men: and •herefore ancient writers call them, •ookes canonical, or Canonical Scriptures. Unto this volume also are usually ⟨p. 8⟩annexed certain other books which are •alled Apocrypha, that is, books kept hid […] secret: for that we must not bring these […] light when we are to confirm any doctrine concerning faith or Gods worship by divine testimonies.
