C H A P.2. EpifIle to the Tbeffalotflaw. V a R.I Ç. Popiilh inference hence is this; that there are matters of necef try faith and praaife which are not contained in the written word of God ? Yet Paul allures Timothy : the Scriptures are able to make him zwife to faluation: 2 to furnifh the man of god, the Minifler, to emery good wore of his calling. 3 Wherefore wee are limited a to Law and Teflimony. 4 Wherefore alfo amongfl fathers, the Argument is of force, Its not written, therefore not matter ofnecefary faith or praîlife, Scriptum doceat Hermogenis of cina, ant time- at va illud, &c. Tertullian. efldoro Scriptura plenitu- dinem In his qua aperté pofta funt in Scripturiii continentur ea omnia qua continent fdem morefque vtuendi. flu. fin. & a- libi. Credo quód etiam hint diutnorum Eloquiorum clarif- fima Authorstas efet, fihomo illud fine difpendio promifa falutis ignorare non poyet. Cetera vide fupra, Contents of Scripture you muff vnderfiand, not onely what is expref- fed in fo many letters and fyllables, but whatfoeuer may thence by manifefl and neceflary confequence be deduced: fweetl yb.Nazianzen, uadam &funt &dicuntur inScrip- turis,quadam veró funt in Scriptures tametfnon dicuntur. As that the father isvnbegotten,is not exprefled in fo many fyllables in Scripcure,yet is collected from what is written. Thus informe your felues : r Where generals are deli- uered, there are all particulars comprifed in thofe generals intentionally deliuered;becaufe generals comprehend their particulars. 2 Where principles and caufes are deliuered, there el feóls are alfo intended ; as being vertually contained in their principles. 3 Where one equall is taught, all of like reafon is taught .quia pariumpar ratio: and where is par ratio,ther is par lex : where is like reafon, there is like law. So take contents of Scripture, no inflance of any point of necefra- ry or but conuenient faith and pra6life, can be giuen, but what is deliuered in the written word. As to this Scripture to children it will appeare to afford 04 btih.$.de7he. olegiâ.
