Forasmuch then as wee are the of-spring of God wee ought not to thinke that the Godhead is like vnto gold or siluer or stone grauen by 〈◊〉 and mans deuice 30. And the times of this ignorance God winked at but now commandeth all men euery where to repent 31. Because he hath appointed a day in the which he will iudge the world in righteousnesse by that man whom he hath ordained whereof hee hath giuen assurance vnto all men in that he hath raised him from the dead Reuel 4. 11.

Search the Scriptures for in them ye think yee haue eternall life and they are they which testifie of me 〈◊〉 Receiue with meeknesse the ingrafted word which is able to saue your soules 31. These are written Ioh. 20. that ye might beleeue that Iesus is the Christ the Son of God and that beleeuing yee might haue life through his name 4. Rom. 15. For whatsoeuer things were written aforetime were written for our learning that we through patience and comfort of the Scriptures might haue hope 3. 1. Tim. 6. If any man teach otherwise and consent not to wholsome words euen the words of our Lord Iesus Christ and to the doctrine which is according to godlinesse 4. He is proud knowing nothing but doting about questions and strifes of words whereof commeth enuie strife raylings euill surmises 5. Peruerse disputings of men of corrupt minds and destitute of the truth supposing that gaine is godlinesse from such withdraw thy selfe Ioh. 8. 31. If ye continue in my word then are yee my disciples indeed 32. And ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you free 8. Pro. 8. All the words of my mouth are in righteousnesse there is nothing froward or peruerse in them 9. They are all plaine to him that vnderstandeth and right to them that find knowledge 47.

The Leuites and the Priests sent by Iehosaphat taught in Iuda had the booke of the Law of the Lord with them and went about throughout all the Cities of Iuda and taught the people 34. 31. Iosiah made a couenant before the Lord to walke after the Lord and to keepe his commandements his testimonies and his Statutes with all his heart and with all his soule to performe the words of the couenant which are written in this booke 32. And hee caused all that were present in Ierusalem Beniamin to stand to it And the Inhabitants of Ierusalem did according to the couenant of God the God of their fathers 35. Act. 15. Paul also and Barnabas continued in Antioch teaching and preaching the word of the Lord with many others also 11. 17. The Iewes of Berea were more noble then those in Thessalonica in that they receiued the word with all readinesse of minde and searched the Scriptures daily whether those things were so 12. Therefore many of them belieued also of honourable women which were Greekes and of men not a fewe Acts. 17. 1. When Paul and Silas had passed throrough Amphipolis
they cannot hearken the word of the Lord is to them a reproch they haue no delight in it Ier 2. 13. They haue forsaken the fountaine of liuing waters and hewed them out cisternes broken cisternes that can hold no water 8. But though we Gal. 1. or an Angell from Heauen preach any other Gospell to you then that which we haue preached vnto you let him be accursed 11. The Gospell which was preached of mee was not after man 12. For I neither receiued it of man neither was I taught it but by the reuelation of Iesus Christ 17. 2. Cor. 2. We are not as many which corrupt the word of God but as of sinceritie but as of God in the sight of God speake we in Christ 2. 4. Not walking in craftinesse nor handling the word of God deceitfully but by manifestation of the truth commending our selues vnto euery mans conscience in the sight of God 3. But if our Gospell be hid it is hid to them that are lost 4. In whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of men which beleeue not lest the light of the glorious Gospell of Christ who is the image of God should shine vnto them Ezek 20. 18.

Thou shalt not bow downe thy selfe vnto them nor serue them Isa 40. 18. To whom will yee liken God or what likenesse will yee compare vnto him Deu. 4. 15. Ye saw no similitude on the day that the Lord spake vnto you in Horeb out of the middest of the fire 12. Ye heard the voice of the words but saw no similitude onely ye heard a voice 13. And hee declared vnto you his couenant which hee commanded you to performe euen ten commandements and he wrote them vpon two tables of stone 8. I am the Lord Isa 42. that is my name and my glory will I not giue to another neither my praise to grauen Images 14. Ier. 10. Euery founder is confounded by the grauen Image for his moulten Image is falshood and there is no breath in them 15. They are vanitie and the worke of errours in the time of their visitation they shall perish 8. The stocke is a doctrine of vanities 29. Isa 41. Their moulten Images are winde and confusion Psal 97. 7. Confounded be all they that serue grauen Images that boast themselues of Idols Isa 44. 9.

Ye shall destroy their Altars and breake downe their Images and cut downe their groues and burne their grauen Images with fire 3. 2 Cro. 34. Iosiah while he was yet young began to seeke after the God of Dauid his father and began to purge Iudah and Ierusalem from the high places and the groues and the carued Images and the moulten Images 4.
