or shining, is acted and dispersed vpon the glasse of the vnderstanding, as light vpon the eye, and there re∣ceiued and vnderstood, is againe from the mind reflected vpon others by word, and then it is doctrine or discipline, or writing, and then we call it a booke or Bible, and from hence may be obserued our teaching by Scripture, doctrine, dis∣cipline, Art, science, and inspiration, Hos. 8.12. Heb. 1.1. Prov. 8.10. 2. Tim. 3.16. &c. God hath written & spoken, and inspired men to doe both, and yet in all this a meere stranger to the iudgements, thoughts, affections, speeches, and actions of the most. So that beside all this, God must inlighten and inliuen our hearts, or else there will neither be Art, nor heart, nor part to thinke vpon him. It is safe no where to complaine of nature, but where grace is, and where that is once had and affected, It will readily ascribe both inward and outward teaching to God. Our rule may be called Scripture as it is written, doctrine as it is taught, discipline as it is learned, Art, as it is framed in vs againe, science as it is knowne of vs; and because none of these are now to be had by the irradiation of nature, it pleaseth God of his infinite loue, that wee should haue them by the inspiration of grace. There are three things (saith Bernard) which God properly challengeth vnto himselfe, from all co-workers, men and Angels: viz. pradestination, creation, and inspiration. The husbandman may plant, prune, digge and dresse his Vine, but raine vpon it he cannot: if hee would water it, yet must it be with Gods water. Hee may draw from the fountaine, but God must drowne it; he may ducere rivum, but it is God that must implore fontem. Yea, when he hath planted and watered, he cannot giue clusters to the branches, forme to the fruits, qualitie to the seeds, temper to the seasons: God therefore that can doe all is the best husbandman. Man therefore that hath expired his first life, must haue God to inspire him againe, or else hee cannot liue. And this will appeare in the very name wee giue our rule. Religion is to tie againe. Our loue to God, like the new cords of Sampson, was quickly snapt asunder,
