And here whilst we view the Jewish Sanctuary Sacrifices and Prophecies by the light of Reason we see them plainly a Joh. 5.39 46 Lu. 10.23 24. 1 Cor. 15 3 4. look and lead unto Christ For their Sanctuary and Sacrifices being b Heb 9.1.10 Earthly and Carnal must needs in the pure worship of that God who is a c John 4.24 Heb. 12.9 Isa 1 10 12. c. Heb. 1.5 6 7. spirit and the Father of spirits be the d H●b 8.4.5 ch 9 9 23 24. Types and shadows of things Heavenly and Spiritual so that as their Prophecies having their appointed time either they are fulfilled or they have expired so their Sanctuary and Sacrifices being Types and shadowes either they were vain or they have vanished and this in Christ the e Col. 2.17 John 1.17 Substance of those shadows and the f John 1.45 Luke 24.27 Mat 1.22 23. chap. 26.56 ch 27.35 Luke 22 37. Joh. 19.36 37. Subject of these Prophecies Reason leads from the Church of the Jews to the Church of the Christians § 4. For let the Jews search the several places and Ages of the World they cannot finde a fulfilling of a Gen. 49.10 Hag. 2.7.9 Gen. 3.15 Deut. 18 15. Isa 2.2 7.14 9.6 7. Dan. 2.44 45. Special Prophecies nor can they give us an Antitype and substance for their Sanctuary and Sacrifices but in the Person and in the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the promised Messiah So that for the true and more full Knowledge of God with the right and more pure form of his Worship we are directed by the Dictate of Reason to the Church of Christ With the Church of Christ is found the Word of God as the Rev●l●tion of his Will b 1 Tim. 3.15 which as the Pillar of Truth doth hold forth to us the Holy Scriptures as the c Rom. 3.2 Luke 1.70 2. Cor. 2.17 chap. 4.2 1 Thes 2.13 word of God delivered by the d 2 Tim. 3.16 2 Pet. 1.21 1 Cor. 2.13 Inspiration of the Holy Spirit § 5. These Holy Scriptures are the writings of the a Eph. 2.20 2 Pet. 3.2 Prophets and Apostles in the books of the Old b 2 Cor. 3.14 Testament and the New The Word of God the Holy Scriptures in the Books of the Old Testament and the New The Original and Authentick edition of the former according to the writings of Moses and the Prophets is the Hebrew and of the latter according to the writings of the Apostles and Evangelists is the Greek What Editions are Authentick That the Mother language of the Jews this the most common language of the Gentiles who in a contradistinct notion to the Jews are therefore called c 1 Cor. 23.24 Rom. 2.9 10. Gal. 3.28 Greeks and as the first edition of the Holy Scriptures were Translations in the Vulgar tongue allowed so the after translations ought to be in the Vulgar tongue that they may be d John 5.39 Col. 3.16 Acts 8.28 1 Thes 5.27 Rev. 1 3. read of all § 6. The Apocrypha signifying secret or hid The Aprocrypha why so called either in respect of their Authors being not certainly known or their Authority not being publickly received seeing we finde them not in the Hebrew we acknowledge not as Canonical to prove doctrines of faith Why not Canonical though profitable for instruction in moral duties We receive those books onely to be of the Old Testament The Old Testament received from the Jews which were kept a Luke 24.44 Sacred by the Jews by an especial Providence and b Rom 32. chap 9.4 Divine appointment made faithful Registers and Bibliothists to the Christian Church § 7. And seeing the Church hath its a Eph. 2.20 foundation fixt upon the Scriptures The Authority of the Scriptures is not from the Church the Scriptures cannot have their Authority derived from the Church so that as not b Joh. 5.33 34. Christs Ministry so nor doth Christ's Word receive its Weight or Worth its Excellency or Authority from the Testimony of Man That the Lord Jesus Christ was c Rom. 4 25. deliver'd for our offences and raised again for our justification we beleeve what because the Church doth so teach us No but because the d Rom. 10.17 Scriptures do so teach the Church § 8. The Holy Scriptures being those a 2 Cor. 5.18 19 20. Credential letters The Authority of the Church is from Christ by the Scriptu●es which Christ the King of glory hath given to his Church must necessarily have their Authority from their Author which is Christ and what Authority the Church hath from Christ is convey'd and confirmed by the b 1 Tim. 3.15 Scriptures so that the Authority of the Scriptures is far above the Authority of the Church And though the Tradition of the Church doth declare the Authority of the Sciptures yet doth it not give Authority to them as the c John 1.7.29 34. Testimony of John Baptist doth declare Christ to be the Messiah yet doth not make him to be the Messiah by so declaring him The Tradition of the Church leadeth to the Scriptures § 9. Yea in our believing the Scriptures to be the word of God though true it is the Church leadeth us unto the Scriptures as the a John 4.39 woman did the Samaritans unto Christ by a Traditional report of their Divine excellency yet having read them diligently and faithfully b Joh. 7.17 18 observed the deep Mysteries The excellency of the writings affect the mind the sure Prophesies the glorious Miracles the purity of the Precepts the harmony of the Parts the efficacy of the Doctrines the sincerity of the Writers the plainnesse of the Style with the Majesty of the Word having observed these it is through the convincing power of the c John 14.17 spirit of Truth The Spirit convinceth of the Truth that we say to the Clurch as the d John 4.42 5 39. Samaritans did to the woman Now we believe no more because of thy saying of thy Tradition for we our selves have read and know that these Scriptures are indeed the word of God and in them we have eternal life A morall perswasion from the Church and the letter a divine belief from the Spirit § 10. That the Scriptures then are the Word of God we believe in a a 1 John 5.9 John 16.13 1 Cor. 2.10 12. 1 Joh. 2.20.27 moral perswasion from the outward Tradition of the Church and the incomparable excellency of the matter but in a Divine Faith from the b inward Testimony of the Spirit § 11. Indeed though the Scriptures are a light a Psal 119.105 2 Pet. 1.19 yea the b 2 Cor. 3.18 clear light of the Sun of Righteousnesse yet it is only to those who have their eyes opened The brightest day appears not in it's glorious
