A37498	The tryal of spirits both in teachers & hearers wherein is held forth the clear discovery and certain downfal of the carnal and antichristian clergie of these nations / testified from the Word of God to the university-congregation in Cambridge by William Dell ; whereunto is added A plain and necessary confutation of divers gross errors delivered by Mr. Sydrach Simpson in a sermon preached to the same congregation at the commencement, Anno 1653 ; wherein (among other things) is declared, that the vniversities (according to their present statutes and practices) are not (as he affirmed) answerable to the schools of the prophets in the time of the law, but rather to the idolatrous high places ...

the_o devil_n be_v the_o devil_n before_o and_o do_v dwell_v and_o work_v in_o evil_a man_n but_o from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o christian_a church_n he_o be_v call_v antichrist_n and_o that_o not_o

under_o the_o name_n and_o pretence_n of_o jesus_n he_o be_v whole_o contrary_a to_o he_o wherefore_o the_o discern_a of_o spirit_n as_o it_o have_v be_v necessary_a from_o the_o begin_n of_o the_o world_n so_o also_o be_v it_o especial_o necessary_a in_o the_o day_n of_o the_o gospel_n wherein_o the_o mystery_n of_o iniquity_n be_v become_v most_o mysterious_a through_o the_o operation_n of_o antichrist_n in_o those_o many_o false_a prophet_n which_o be_v go_v forth_o into_o the_o world_n and_o so_o we_o proceed_v to_o the_o second_o point_n 2._o point_n point_n and_o that_o be_v that_o

the_o remedy_n the_o apostle_n prescribe_v to_o the_o faithful_a against_o these_o false_a prophet_n be_v not_o that_o they_o shall_v stir_v up_o the_o secular_a power_n to_o imprison_v banish_v or_o burn_v they_o that_o so_o they_o may_v be_v rid_v of_o they_o for_o this_o be_v antichrist_n proper_a remedy_n against_o those_o that_o oppose_v he_o but_o the_o apostle_n show_v a_o more_o christian_a remedy_n which_o be_v this_o 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 and_o this_o remedy_n alone_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o true_a spiritual_a church_n of_o the_o faithful_a in_o every_o age_n to_o preserve_v it_o safe_a and_o sound_a against_o all_o false_a teacher_n whatsoever_o and_o their_o false_a doctrine_n neither_o do_v it_o desire_v or_o need_v any_o other_o wherefore_o in_o this_o case_n the_o apostle_n content_v himself_o to_o give_v only_o this_o caution_n to_o the_o faithful_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 believe_v not_o every_o spirit_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v every_o one_o that_o speak_v note_n of_o spiritual_a thing_n whence_o it_o be_v plain_a that_o we_o neither_o ought_v rash_o and_o hasty_o to_o believe_v every_o man_n doctrine_n nor_o yet_o rash_o and_o unadvised_o to_o censure_v and_o condemn_v it_o till_o it_o be_v hear_v

john_n also_o add_v here_o but_o try_v the_o spirit_n whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n whence_o we_o note_v that_o christian_n have_v right_o and_o power_n to_o try_v and_o judge_v the_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o their_o teacher_n spirit_n and_o this_o be_v evident_a by_o many_o plain_a scripture_n as_o matth._n 7._o 15._o beware_v of_o false_a prophet_n say_v christ_n to_o the_o

not_o hear_v they_o by_o all_o which_o scripture_n and_o many_o more_o that_o may_v be_v add_v it_o be_v manifest_a that_o the_o faithful_a the_o true_a sheep_n of_o christ_n have_v right_o and_o power_n to_o judge_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n of_o the_o teacher_n let_v father_n schoolman_n doctor_n counsel_n assembly_n of_o divine_n university_n minister_n propound_v and_o publish_v what_o doctrine_n they_o please_v the_o sheep_n of_o christ_n the_o faithful_a flock_n have_v power_n and_o authority_n from_o christ_n himself_o to_o try_v and_o judge_v whether_o the_o thing_n they_o speak_v be_v of_o christ_n or_o of_o themselves_o and_o of_o antichrist_n and_o this_o power_n the_o faithful_a people_n ought_v not_o to_o part_v with_o neither_o for_o any_o fear_n nor_o for_o any_o favour_n cause_n yea_o it_o most_o near_o concern_v the_o faithful_a to_o try_v the_o spirit_n and_o judge_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o teacher_n for_o these_o two_o consideration_n among_o other_o first_o because_o we_o must_v each_o one_o give_v a_o account_n for_o our_o first_o self_n before_o the_o judgement_n seat_n of_o christ_n wherefore_o it_o concern_v every_o one_o of_o we_o to_o look_v to_o our_o own_o eternal_a condition_n and_o not_o to_o leave_v this_o care_n to_o other_o for_o we_o in_o death_n and_o judgement_n each_o one_o must_v answer_v for_o himself_o and_o therefore_o we_o ought_v to_o be_v as_o certain_a of_o the_o word_n of_o god_n on_o which_o we_o build_v our_o immortal_a soul_n as_o we_o be_v sure_o we_o live_v and_o be_v creature_n we_o ought_v i_o say_v to_o be_v sure_o ourselves_o and_o not_o to_o trust_v any_o body_n for_o we_o in_o this_o great_a matter_n whereon_o depend_v either_o eternal_a life_n or_o eternal_a death_n second_o it_o concern_v we_o to_o try_v the_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n second_o because_o otherwise_o we_o may_v easy_o mistake_v and_o instead_o of_o antichrist_n and_o his_o disciple_n dash_v against_o christ_n himself_o and_o his_o precious_a saint_n yea_o we_o have_v see_v how_o the_o world_n and_o worldly_a church_n not_o be_v able_a to_o try_v the_o spirit_n and_o doctrine_n have_v contradict_v and_o crucify_v the_o son_n of_o god_n himself_o and_o have_v reproach_v and_o persecute_v all_o his_o people_n who_o be_v baptize_v into_o one_o spirit_n with_o he_o and_o do_v this_o they_o have_v think_v they_o have_v do_v god_n good_a service_n too_o and_o all_o because_o they_o be_v not_o able_a to_o judge_v of_o the_o spirit_n and_o truth_n of_o christ_n in_o himself_o and_o his_o member_n but_o have_v follow_v the_o judgement_n and_o council_n of_o the_o chief_a guide_n in_o the_o outward_a church_n who_o have_v cause_v they_o to_o err_v and_o to_o mistake_v truth_n for_o error_n and_o error_n for_o truth_n christ_n for_o antichrist_n and_o antichrist_n for_o christ._n wherefore_o it_o concern_v every_o one_o to_o be_v wise_a to_o salvation_n for_o himself_o and_o to_o try_v the_o spirit_n for_o himself_o and_o not_o to_o content_v himself_o to_o say_v thus_o say_v augustine_n ambrose_n hierom_n etc._n etc._n or_o this_o be_v the_o judgement_n of_o the_o father_n or_o thus_o have_v the_o counsel_n and_o university_n determine_v or_o thus_o do_v our_o minister_n teach_v we_o but_o if_o thou_o be_v one_o of_o christ_n flock_n thou_o must_v have_v skill_n to_o know_v and_o judge_v for_o thyself_o which_o be_v christ_n spirit_n and_o doctrine_n and_o which_o be_v antichrist_n otherwise_o thou_o will_v certain_o miscarry_v in_o this_o great_a matter_n and_o be_v undo_v for_o ever_o if_o thou_o build_v on_o man_n in_o these_o thing_n and_o can_v not_o judge_v for_o thyself_o thou_o will_v be_v sure_a to_o be_v undo_v but_o now_o this_o power_n of_o try_v spirit_n and_o judge_a doctrine_n which_o christ_n have_v give_v his_o true_a flock_n and_o which_o spirit_n they_o ought_v to_o have_v upon_o so_o good_a ground_n the_o teacher_n of_o the_o false_a and_o

to_o themselves_o the_o power_n of_o try_v spirit_n and_o judge_a doctrine_n and_o have_v say_v that_o it_o belong_v to_o the_o clergy_n or_o national_a ministry_n and_o their_o council_n and_o

that_o all_o christian_n ought_v to_o expect_v their_o judgement_n and_o determination_n and_o to_o submit_v to_o it_o and_o to_o depend_v on_o it_o as_o on_o a_o oracle_n from_o heaven_n yea_o
