Richard Hooker on the infalibility of God's Words

Richard Hooker has sometimes been regarded as the father of Anglican theology. It is worth remembering his view of the perfection of God's words:

God himself can neither possibly err, nor lead into error. For this cause his testimonies, whatsoever he affirmeth, are always true and  most infallible certainty. Yea further, because the things that proceed from him are perfect without any manner of defect or maim; it cannot be but that the words of his mouth are absolute and lack nothing which they should have for performance of that thing whereunto they tend.

Of the Laws of Ecclesiastical Polity II.VI.1 quoted in Ovey & Strange, Confident (Christian Focus) p116
