Because of the consent and harmony of the Scriptures; in the Scriptures there is a consent between the Old Testament and the New: a consent between the Types and Figures under the Law, and the things typified and prefigured under the Gospel: between the Prophesies of the Scriptures, and the fulfilling of those Prophesies: There is in the Scriptures a Harmony or agreement of Precepts; and a harmony or agreement of histories; and a harmony or agreement of design: Wherefore, since the Scriptures were written by so many several men, in so many several ages, and different places, and yet agreeing so well in their writings, that no irreconcileable difference is to be found in them; it is evident that they were all acted by the same Spirit of God, and therefore, that the Scriptures are the Word of God. 4. Because of the high Mysteries which are revealed in the Scriptures: we read in the Scriptures of the Trinity of Persons in the Godhead, the Incarnation of the Son of God, the Mystical Union of Christ and his Members; These, and such like Mysteries, were beyond the reach of the most wise and learned men to invent, much more beyond the reach of unlearned Fisher-men, by whom they were revealed; whence it is evident that they spake not their own words, but what they were taught by the immediate inspiration of the Spirit. 5. Because of the Antiquity of the Scriptures: they were written in part before any other writings of men; and they contain a History of the most antient things, namely, the Creation of the Old World, the Flood, and the like: Such antient things are there revealed, which none but God knew, and therefore God must needs be the Author of them. 6. Because of the Power and Efficacy of the Scriptures. 1. The Scriptures are powerful to convince, and awaken, and wound the Conscience, The Word of God is quick and powerful sharper than a two-edged Sword.","proofs":["Hebrews 4:12"]}]},{"document":"vincent1673","id":"89","url":"/api/v1/documents/vincent1673/entries/89","segments":[{"text":"For the Word of God is quick and powerful, and sharper than any two edged Sword, piercing even to the dividing of the soul and of the spirit, and of the joynts and of the marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.","proofs":["Hebrews 4:12"]}]},{"document":"henry1703","id":"2","url":"/api/v1/documents/henry1703/entries/2","segments":[{"text":"Yes.
