For, suppose a Protestant, first, concerning the _Scriptures_, question a _Socinian_ in this manner. _Prot._ Why do you, to the great danger of your soul, and salvation, not believe, _God the Son to be of one, and the same essence, and substance with God the Father_, it being so principal an Article of the _Christian_ Faith, delivered in the _Holy Scriptures_? _Soc._ To give you a satisfactory account of this matter. I do believe, with other Christians, that the Scriptures are the Word of God; and, with other Protestants, that they are a perfect _Rule_ of my faith. §. 2. _Prot._ But, this secures you not, unless you believe according to this _Rule_; which in this point, you do not. _Soc._ However I believe in this point; truly, or falsly; I am secure that my Faith is entire, as to all _necessary_ points of Faith. _Prot._ How so? _Soc._ Because, as M. _Chillingworth_ saith[1]--_He that believes all that is in the_ Bible, _all that is in the_ Scriptures (_as I do_) _believes all that is_ necessary _there_. _Prot._ This must needs be true: but mean while, if there be either some part of Scripture not known at all by you; or the true sense of some part of that you know (for, _the Scripture_, as that Author notes[2], _is not so much the words, as the sense_) be mistaken by you, how can you say, you believe all the Scriptures? For, when you say, you believe all the Scripture, you mean only this: that you believe, that, whatsoever is the _true sense_ thereof, that is _God's Word_; and most certainly true: which belief of yours doth very well consist with your not believing, or also your believing the contrary to the _true sense_ thereof: and then you, not believing the true sense of some part of it at least, may also not believe the true sense of something _necessary_ there; which is quite contrary to your conclusion here. §. 3.
