Scriptural Proof

Many puritans tried to find a scriptural answer to every issue that was under dispute. The basics of the gospel are very clearly and comprehensively presented in scripture, but there's lots room for debate on other issues. Hooker: We have to use discretion in figuring out which things in scripture are indeed directives for all of time,. And which ones are just sort of narrations of what the spirit had them do then, but not necesary always.
