HOLY SCRIPTURE THE TEST OF TRUTH: AN APPEAL TO ITS PARAMOUNT AUTHORITY AGAINST CERTAIN PASSAGES IN DR. HANCOCK'S "DEFENCE," AND IN THE WRITINGS OF BARCLAY AND PENN. BY RICHARD BALL. LONDON: HAMILTON, ADAMS, AND CO., PATERNOSTER ROW. MDCCCXXXV. "THE Bible has God for its Author, salvation for its end, and truth, without any mixture of error, for its matter." LOCKE. “THE Bible, and the Bible only, is the religion of Protestants.” CHILLINGWORTH. "THEY" (our forefathers) "professed to be instructed in no new truths; they had nothing to add to the faith once delivered to the saints; they cordially acknowledged the Divine authority of the Holy Scriptures; they were deeply versed in the contents of the Sacred Volume; and they openly confessed that whatsoever doctrine or practice is contrary to its declarations, must be ' accounted and reckoned a delusion of the devil.'" Yearly Meeting's Epistle 1835. |
