Because of the design and contrivement of the Scriptures. 1. The design of the Scriptures is to give God all the Glory; the design is not to exalt any, but to debase and empty all men, and exalt Gods Name and Grace in the World. 2. The marvellous contrivement of Wisdom in finding out a way for mans recovery and Salvation by Jesus Christ, when fallen by sin into such a state of misery; which no mortal brain could have invented; this doth shew not only that this contrivance was from the infinitely wise God, but also that the Scriptures which have revealed this, are his Book. 8. Because the Scriptures were confirmed by Miracles; we read of many Miracles in the Scripture, especially those which were wrought by Jesus Christ and his Disciples, to confirm their Doctrine that was from God; such as curing some who were born blind, raising the dead, calming the Sea with a word, and many more; now these and the like Miracles were from the immediate hand of God, and the Relation we have faithfully handed down unto us, as appeareth by the Writings still amongst us, of several holy men upon them, and concerning them, as also by the several Copies of them (which could not be forged and not be found out) agreeing in the same Relation: And as surely as God did effect those Miracles, so surely is God the Author of the Scriptures which is confirmed by them. 9. Because the Scriptures were confirmed by the Blood of Martyrs; there were many thousand Christians in the Primitive times who sealed, and gave testimony to the truths of the Scriptures with the loss of their lives: The great faith of the Primitive Christians in the truth of the Scriptures, who might easily have found out the deceit had there been any deceit imposed upon men in them; and the great patience and constancy which they shewed in their sufferings as an evidence of their faith, is a weighty Argument in conjunction with others to prove the Divine Authority of the Scriptures. 10.
