worst_a of_o the_o primitive_a heresy_n which_o be_v record_v in_o greek_a and_o latin_a language_n unknown_a to_o their_o first_o teacher_n i_o do_v not_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o missionary_n of_o rome_n have_v be_v very_o busy_a in_o sow_v their_o tare_n among_o they_o while_o the_o nation_n sleep_v and_o never_o regard_v a_o sect_n which_o they_o think_v aught_o to_o be_v pity_v for_o their_o innocence_n or_o despise_v for_o their_o ignorance_n upon_o this_o account_n it_o be_v that_o the_o inferior_a sort_n especial_o real_o deserve_v our_o kindness_n and_o compassion_n but_o most_o of_o all_o upon_o the_o account_n of_o that_o holy_a religion_n which_o we_o profess_v that_o jesus_n who_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n that_o outward_a christ_n which_o they_o deny_v and_o deprive_v themselves_o by_o so_o do_v of_o the_o most_o perfect_a pattern_n of_o charity_n and_o mercy_n that_o jesus_n i_o say_v who_o require_v we_o to_o love_v our_o enemy_n to_o bless_v they_o that_o curse_v we_o and_o pray_v for_o they_o that_o despiteful_o use_v we_o and_o indeed_o never_o have_v we_o so_o much_o occasion_n to_o practise_v this_o command_n as_o they_o have_v give_v we_o but_o charity_n be_v to_o extend_v to_o our_o passion_n and_o not_o our_o understanding_n and_o therefore_o the_o same_o jesus_n who_o command_v this_o command_v we_o also_o to_o beware_v of_o false_a prophet_n who_o cry_n lo_o here_o be_v christ_n or_o there_o be_v christ_n whither_o in_o a_o wafer_n by_o transubstantion_n or_o in_o a_o sinful_a body_n by_o the_o light_n within_o these_o must_v be_v false_a christ_n because_o among_o other_o reason_n they_o be_v many_o christ_n whereas_o there_o be_v and_o can_v be_v but_o one_o but_o he_o alone_o who_o be_v now_o intercede_v for_o we_o at_o the_o right_a hand_n of_o god_n and_o who_o give_v we_o this_o particular_a caution_n to_o direct_v we_o and_o prevent_v vain_a excuse_n see_v i_o have_v tell_v you_o before_o in_o order_n then_o to_o our_o obey_v it_o let_v i_o give_v you_o three_o short_a rule_n and_o then_o i_o shall_v conclude_v 1._o that_o we_o shall_v careful_o beware_v of_o this_o spirit_n of_o enthusiasm_n which_o be_v go_v out_o in_o this_o age_n that_o we_o shall_v be_v cautious_a how_o we_o humour_v any_o religious_a melancholy_n to_o such_o a_o degree_n as_o to_o expect_v continual_o new_a revelation_n and_o when_o the_o soul_n be_v suspend_v in_o scruple_n terror_n and_o amazement_n take_v every_o sudden_a thought_n which_o flash_n in_o the_o heat_v fancy_n to_o be_v immediate_a inspiration_n the_o apostle_n st_n john_n our_o lord_n be_v belove_a disciple_n caution_n we_o with_o all_o the_o meekness_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o peace_n belove_a believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n but_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n because_o many_o false_a prophet_n be_v go_v out_o into_o the_o world_n one_a epist_n john_n 4._o cap._n 1._o one_o rule_n he_o give_v in_o the_o next_o verse_n which_o will_v be_v sufficient_a to_o detect_v those_o we_o have_v to_o do_v withal_o if_o right_o apply_v viz._n hereby_o know_v you_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n every_o spirit_n that_o confess_v that_o jesus_n be_v come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v of_o god_n and_o every_o spirit_n that_o confess_v that_o jesus_n christ_n be_v not_o come_v in_o the_o flesh_n be_v not_o of_o god_n this_o be_v that_o spirit_n of_o antichrist_n which_o be_v come_v into_o the_o world_n even_o in_o those_o day_n and_o which_o prevail_v in_o it_o too_o much_o in_o we_o but_o there_o be_v a_o more_o general_a rule_n whereby_o to_o judge_v of_o any_o spirit_n whatsoever_o and_o that_o be_v the_o word_n of_o god_n wherefore_o if_o any_o pretend_a prophet_n rise_v up_o with_o a_o new_a light_n and_o contradict_v direct_o all_o the_o rest_n if_o two_o new_a prophet_n rise_v much_o about_o the_o same_o time_n as_o fox_n and_o muggleton_n do_v and_o oppose_v and_o curse_v one_o another_o affirm_v both_o with_o like_a confidence_n that_o they_o come_v from_o god_n how_o shall_v any_o person_n judge_n between_o they_o and_o the_o rest_n there_o be_v no_o rule_n give_v to_o this_o purpose_n but_o the_o old_a and_o new_a testament_n and_o to_o these_o they_o ought_v to_o be_v bring_v for_o examination_n if_o what_o they_o teach_v be_v agreeable_a to_o what_o be_v write_v there_o it_o be_v no_o new_a light_n but_o the_o better_a for_o be_v old_a if_o it_o be_v not_o it_o be_v in_o vain_a to_o plead_v that_o it_o be_v inspire_v by_o the_o same_o spirit_n by_o which_o they_o be_v write_v for_o that_o can_v contradict_v itself_o and_o therefore_o whoever_o contradict_v that_o must_v be_v impose_v upon_o himself_o or_o have_v a_o design_n to_o impose_v upon_o other_o this_o show_v the_o necessity_n of_o the_o next_o caution_n two_o that_o we_o shall_v take_v care_n how_o we_o neglect_v or_o undervalue_v those_o holy_a write_n ourselves_o or_o attend_v to_o those_o who_o do_v so_o because_o if_o this_o be_v once_o do_v we_o have_v no_o rule_n either_o of_o faith_n or_o practice_n leave_v we_o and_o consequent_o must_v lie_v open_a to_o all_o delusion_n and_o be_v blow_v about_o with_o every_o wind_n of_o doctrine_n the_o jew_n and_o romanist_n set_v up_o tradition_n equal_a to_o these_o by_o which_o they_o provide_v a_o excuse_v not_o only_o for_o all_o the_o error_n which_o they_o have_v fall_v into_o already_o but_o for_o all_o they_o shall_v think_v fit_v to_o embrace_v hereafter_o for_o who_o can_v fathom_v or_o discover_v the_o dark_a abyss_n of_o tradition_n on_o the_o other_o side_n all_o enthusia_v set_v up_o against_o they_o the_o private_a spirit_n and_o all_o atheist_n what_o they_o call_v humane_a reason_n and_o so_o wander_v in_o their_o different_a error_n or_o wallow_v in_o their_o different_a vice_n for_o private_a inspiration_n and_o humane_a reason_n amount_v to_o much_o the_o same_o and_o signify_v no_o more_o but_o the_o do_v or_o say_v whatever_o each_o man_n please_v wherefore_o we_o shall_v be_v very_o careful_a how_o we_o suffer_v any_o doubt_n to_o rise_v in_o we_o concern_v the_o authority_n of_o those_o holy_a write_n which_o be_v so_o diligent_o inquire_v into_o and_o so_o careful_o settle_v in_o the_o first_o age_n of_o christianity_n that_o we_o shall_v not_o throw_v away_o what_o be_v attest_v by_o so_o many_o miracle_n and_o by_o the_o consent_n of_o so_o many_o thousand_o and_o what_o be_v of_o so_o great_a importance_n to_o our_o soul_n upon_o account_n of_o any_o custom_n or_o passage_n which_o may_v seem_v strange_a to_o we_o but_o consider_v they_o as_o the_o write_n of_o holy_a and_o upright_a man_n who_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o infallible_a spirit_n of_o god_n and_o who_o seal_v what_o they_o write_v by_o their_o own_o blood_n it_o be_v therefore_o that_o these_o be_v able_a to_o make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n and_o if_o these_o be_v able_a what_o do_v there_o want_v else_o or_o be_v it_o not_o sufficient_a that_o they_o can_v make_v we_o wise_a unto_o salvation_n if_o any_o angel_n from_o heaven_n that_o preach_v any_o other_o doctrine_n than_o what_o be_v to_o be_v find_v

for_o empty_a noise_n and_o wild_a gesture_n for_o vain_a pretence_n to_o sinless_a perfection_n and_o equality_n with_o god_n but_o though_o we_o ought_v to_o consider_v these_o thing_n with_o

let_v all_o those_o who_o fear_v god_n who_o have_v any_o tenderness_n for_o their_o neighbour_n or_o any_o zeal_n for_o god_n glory_n praise_v he_o and_o magnify_v he_o for_o ever_o for_o open_v
