Rule - Self-contained
And since we are to let everyman be a liar and God be true [1], outside references are not required to solve the riddles and see the shadows. (This keeps us devoted)
Not only are we not going to bring in extra-biblical books to determine the meaning of scripture, but we will not make apostles out of historians by elevating their writings concerning the meaning of scripture. We will not make apostles out of document critics. Errors to documents spoil the hidden narrative and once the hidden narrative is known, the proper document can be discerned. Nor will we accept what God has shown you personally, unless He has shown it to you through the scriptures.
Consequence of using outside resources: You make the historian, or the document specialist into an apostle, giving him power over the interpretation of scripture.
