The Holy Scripture containeth all things
necessary to salvation; so that whatsoever is
not read therein, nor may be proved thereby,
is not to be required of any man that it should
be believed as an article of faith, or be
thought requisite or necessary to salvation. In
the name of the Holy Scripture we do
understand those canonical books of the Old
and New Testaments of whose authority was
never any doubt in the church. The names of
the canonical books are:
Genesis, Exodus , Leviticus , Numbers ,
Deuteronomy, Joshua , Judges , Ruth , The First
Book of Samuel, The Second Book of Samuel,
The First Book of Kings , The Second Book of
Kings , The First Book of Chronicles , The
Second Book of Chronicles , The Book of Ezra,
The Book of Nehemiah, The Book of Esther ,
The Book of Job , The Psalms , The Proverbs,
Ecclesiastes or the Preacher , Cantica or
Songs of Solomon , Four Prophets the Greater,
Twelve Prophets the Less .
All the books of the New Testament , as they
are commonly received, we do receive and
account canonical.
