Quest. X.

IS the inward Illumination of the Spirit of GOD, necessary for the saving understanding of such things, as are revealed in the Word? Yes. Iohn 6. 45. 1 Cor. 2. 9, 10, 11, 12.

Well then, do not the Socinians and Armi∣••ians err, who maintain, That men without the revelation of the Spirit, are able to understand the Scriptures for their Salvation? Yes.

By what Reasons are they confuted?

(1.) Because, the Disciples of Christ, were not able to understand the Scripture, before he opened their eyes, Luke 24. 45. (2.) Be∣cause, the Iews to this day, cannot understand the Scriptures of the Old Testament, until the Vail by the spirit of GOD be taken away, 2 Cor. 3. 14, 15, 16, 18. (3.) Because, the Psal∣mist David seeketh from God, the opening of his eyes, that he may behold wondrous things out of his Law, Psal. 119. 18.
