At the Oracles of God] Thoſe lively and life-giving oracles,Act 7.38. the holy Scriptures. Theſe he muſt expound with all gravity and ſincerity, not ſeeking himſelf, nor ſetting forth his own wit and eloquence, ſo putting the ſword of the ſpirit into a velvet ſcabber'd, that it cannot prick and pierce the heart.
