M. F. p. 140.
Nor is it any argument, that these Texts of Scripture are not easie to be under∣stood, because some out of prejudice or perverseness have wrested them to a cor∣rupt sense; seeing God did not endite the Bible for the froward or captious, but for such who will read it with a free and unprejudiced mind, and are willing to come to the knowledge of the truth.
Dr. Till. ibid. p. 87.
And what if some out of pre∣judice do mistake, or out of per∣verseness do wrest the plainest Texts of Scripture, &c. Is this any argument that those Texts are not sufficiently plain? Can any thing be spo∣ken or written in words so clear, which a perverse or pre∣judiced mind shall not be able to vex and force to another meaning? God did not write the Scriptures for the fro∣ward and the captious, but for those who will read them with a free and unprejudiced mind, and are willing to come to the knowledge of the truth.
