6. The whole Counsel of God concerning all things necessary for his own Glory, Man’s Salvation, Faith and Life, is either expresly set down, or necessarily contained in the Holy Scripture; unto which nothing at any time is to be added, whether by new Revelation of the Spirit, or Traditions of Men. Nevertheless we acknowledge thea inward Illumination of the Spirit of God, to be necessary for the saving understanding of such things as are revealed in the Word, and that there are some Circumstances concerning the Worship of God, and Government of the Church, common to Humane Actions and Societies; which are to beb ordered by the Light of Nature, and Christian Prudence, according to the general Rules of the Word, which are always to be observed.c
