Acts17:2

2 And Paul, as his manner was, went in unto them, and three sabbath-days reasoned with them out of the scriptures.

Who was faithful unto him that had called him, and took all occasions to do his Master's work.

The Law and the Prophets▪ which they owned to be of Divine Authority; And from the holy Scriptures alone all knowledg in the things of God, and of our salvation, must be fetched. If any speak of these matters not according to them, it is because they have no light in them, Isa. 8.20. What Scriptures St. Paul alledged [illegible: 1 word] not set down; but they were such as our Saviour [illegible: 1 span] use of, Luke 24.27. for the same purpose. This was customary with Paul, to preach these things unto the Iews first; as Chap. 13.46. till they had put the word of God from them by their incredulity.
