From Divine Authority.

I. The Testimony of a Being Sovereignly In∣telligent, Wise, and True, is of greater efficacy to persuade, than any other the most strong and evi∣dent Reasons that may be.

Thus since God tells us, that they are blessed who are persecuted for Righteousness sake, we are to hold it for an undoubted Truth; because we have a greater Certainty, that he who is Sove∣reignly Intelligent, and Infinitely Good, cannot be deceived, than we can be certain that we our selves are not deceived, even in those things that appear most clear and evident to us. For we are to give credit to the Divine Testimony, not be∣cause of the Affirmation or Negation, but for the Authority of the VVitness, as being Omnipotent, Omniscient, and of the most Sovereign Veracity and Truth.
