The plain Answer.
Unless the Scripture had spoken of Christ, I could not have known that there had been any such Saviour, but by the revelation of God, Angels or men. Yet, neither Angels nor men could have revealed it to me, unless God (the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost) had first made it known unto them; So greata Mistery is God manifested in the flesh.
Thus, Christ was at first revealed by God himself; other∣wise he had never been known; which revelation being now written by holy men of God, moved by the Holy Ghost, is become Scripture; the onely ordinary way of making known unto men this Jesus Christ without special revelation. There∣fore, those that would now attain to the knowledge of Christ, must search the Scriptures, for they are they that testifie of Christ. Natural light cannot discover him, neither may we expect new revelation, seeing the old is acknowledged to be sufficient.
