Concerning the Scriptures in general, it may be observed, the word of the living God, which directed the first patriarchs also, was, in the time of Moses, committed to writing. To this were added, in several succeeding generations, the inspired writings of the other prophets. Afterwards, what the Son of God preached, and the Holy Ghost spake by the apostles, the apostles and evangelists wrote.
In the language of the sacred writings we may observe the utmost depth, together with the utmost ease... God speaks not as man, but as God. His thoughts are very deep, and thence His words are of inexhaustible virtue.
-John Wesley "John Wesley as an Interpretation of Scripture"
