Thirdly, That those things which are neceffary to Salvation to be believed or done, are fo plain in Scripture, that it is every Man's Duty to learn them thence; and that we may learn them fully, plentifully, and abundantly from the Scriptures, may prove them by them, and may fhew that they are taken from the Holy Scriptures. Which it is certain we could not do, unless they were contained in the Scriptures with fufficient Evidence. Hence it is evident, what the excellent Bishop of Salisbury truly faith, That it is a Scandal to the Church of England to fuppofe that it hath any peculiar Doctrines, confidered as the Church of England,' the having fo expreffly declared that fhe knows no other Rule but the Gospel, and always appealing to that for the Truth of any thing taught by her, and expreffly requiring all in her Communion, to take the Scriptures for their Rule of Faith and Practice; and that confequently the certain Truth of any Doctrine is not put by our reformed Church upon its being the Doctrine, or the peculiar Doctrine of the Church, but of the Scriptures.

I conclude in the Words of the Author of a Letter to Dr. W- -d, p. 16.

I have the greatest Deference for the Doctrines of the Church; but then I muft fuppose that the Church defigns to be understood, for otherwife her Articles of Faith, will not be really Doctrines, but Words only. And

as

as for our own Church of England, I can be very confident that fhe never once intended to bind any of her Members to Impoffibilities, or expected to have her Articles understood in any other than a Scripture Sense; and confequently not to pin down Men to the Athanufian Senfe, farther than it may be made intelligible, and confiftent with the true Sense of Scripture.
