In a briefe commentary on the second of Peter, chap. 2. Where the apostle hath plainly prophesied of that sort of antichristians, or false prophets, now commonly known by the name of ranters, whose unreasonable practises being only named, and laid open to view, wil be sufficient ground to reasonable men, to desert their wicked wayes, and societies, which they continue so infectious and disorderd. / By Raunce Burthall.

And cannot cease to sinne I know not well how they should cease to sinne when themselves would be lawlesse for they making good and evill God and the devill all one what cessation from sin can be expected Therefore the Prophet Malachi againe hath hath this additionall description of them saying yee have wearied the Lord with your words yet ye say Mal● 2.17 wherein have we wearied him He Answers them thus when ye say every one that doth evill is good in the sight of the Lord he delights in them mark here how they delude themselvs although they act sin and wickednesse they thinke God accounts them good and delights in them too Oh what a blinding sinne is this breaking of Relations which Malachi taxeth them of here I will close this with Asaphs words saith God these things hast thou done I kept silence thou thoughtest that I was altogether * Some of them stick not to say that Christ was a Ranter 2 Pet. 2.18 such an one as thy self Psal 50 51. but I will reprove thee and set thy sins in order before thine eyes Verse 14. beguileing unstable soules Mark well what people are misled by them they are unstable soules such as were newly out of the shell of a carnall state a little escaped from them who live in errour as Peter speakes they are silly people that are so led but most silly to continue long so led for when once the depth of their wicked wayes is perceived by an ingenious spirit he cannot but forsake both them and their wayes except he be willing to bury his reason and become a wicked man and a foole both at once Verse 14. An heart they have exercised with Covetous practises one would thinke this could not touch them at all for they account nothing their owne but all things common but if you were but a little acquainted with them as some are to their cost You should find that to be but their devellish cunning namly to teach you to account nothing * They say propriety is a devill but whether it be a devilish speech yea or no consider these places of Scripture 1 Tim. 5.8 Act. 5.4 2 Cor. 12.14 2 Thes 3.7 to 12. Acts 20.33 34 35. 2 Cor. 11.8.9 With many more yours that so they might with this Engine in a very short space deprive you of all you have Oh what quicke returnes have they in their journeyes to such places and houses where their lanck bellies and purses are made Plump they make hay while the sunne shines for feare least their beguiled Asses and Mul●s should throw off their burthen too soone Verse 17 Wells without water They would have you thinke them deeply learned in divine misteries when as it s but the mistery of iniquity new guilt over even their white witchery called the deepnesse of satan in the Revelation which can never salve the wounds their black witchery makes namely their Cursings Swearings Riotings c. they make shew of waters indeed because they are stiled wells but if you assay and let downe your bucket Prov. 20.5 like a man of understanding as Solomon speaks of where counsell in the heart of man is likned to deepe waters and by * As the Queen of Sheba proved Solomons wisdom and parts wise and prudent questions gage their depth there will come up nothing but dirt and stones there is no waters to refresh you but mudde to Choake you Iude Verse 13. He there calls them wandering starres This holds forth their Phisiognomy as clearly as a Father doth the childs that is like him no Limner can draw shape so neere his patterne if you come to a begger and aske him where he dwelles he will say he hath small dwelling whereas when you have well examined the matter he hath the largest dwelling of all for he dwels every where so these wandring unfixed starres as they are like so they are the boldest of all beggers for where ever they come they are at home still t is all common where they graze now ye know wandring starres are bad guides to seamen and travellers onely the fixed starres are serviceable to men even to such men that stay at home in their callings like fixed starres and are not inordinate bussie-bodies but do with quietnesse work and eate there one bread are profitable to themselves and others but these wandring stars are uselesse both at home and abroad they shine deceitfully They guide falsly but devour truely all that trust them both in their soules and bodies but as wandring starres blaze and instantly vanish and appeare no more so will these goe out ere long like the snuffe of a candle Verse 18.
