Sufficiency of Those Writings

The answer of Abraham to the rich man, sending his friends to Moses and the Prophets, sheweth that they sufficed to instruct the faithful Jews in all things ne∣cessary to Salvation, Luk. 16. 29, 30. by them they might learn how to obtain Life and escape Death, when he saith, Let them hear them, he meaneth them only, as that place is meant, Mat. 17. 5. The Jews themselves acknowledged the sufficiency of those writings, to lead them unto life and happiness, Ioh. 5. 39.
