SECT. IV.

1. So there is no Absolute, Supreme Power and Law-maker but God. He is the Judg of all the Earth, and so he doth whatsoever pleases him; and the Judg of the World must needs do right-

2. Thus God hath left us a Law, written not only without us, but with∣in us, which is the Word of God, and that is it that we must judg our selves by, and shall be judg'd of God by at the last day, and in this Word by his Grace we will trust. Unusquisque cui veritas est cordi, & qui salutis suae est avidus, ex Scripturis tantum haurire potest, quantum ad ipsum in vitae aeternae viâ dirigendum sufficit.

The Ball of contention if both sides give way, may be tost up and down, to and fro for ever, and we never the wiser. Disputes are endless, but we have no such custom, neither the Churches of God. We will labour to un∣derstand as well as we can, and do as well we can, and use all the good helpes we can, and pray for pardon in all our failings, and judg no body but our selves, and this we hope will be our safety and peace.

And this is all we can or will say, for this is our judgment, but God knows better. And for ought I can learn from all the Controversies a∣bout this Point, when all is done, every one must judg for himself as well as he can, and God for us all.
