In context
18 And this voyce we heard when it came from heauen, being with him in the Holy mount.
19 We haue also a most sure worde of the Prophets, to the which ye doe well that yee take heede, as vnto a light that shineth in a darke place, vntill the day dawne, and the day starre arise in your hearts.
20 So that yee first knowe this, that no prophecie of the Scripture is of any priuate interpretation.
21 For the prophecie came not in olde time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moued by the holy Ghost.
