In "An Extract of a Letter to The Reverend Mr. Law (Wesley's Works, vol 9, pp 467ff), Wesley begins the letter with the following words:
"In matters of religion I regard no writings but the inspired. Tauler, Behmen, and a whole army of Mystic authors are with me nothing compared to St. Paul. In every point I appeal "to the law and the testimony," and value no authority but this."
Notice Wesley's reference to Isaiah 8:20, "the law and the testimony--" Holy Scripture as the place we find authoritative words from God.
