the_o name_n of_o the_o lord_n it_o will_v imply_v that_o the_o worship_n practise_v by_o adam_n and_o abel_n have_v be_v corrupt_v and_o now_o it_o be_v restore_v again_o and_o reform_v which_o

countenance_v leave_v therefore_o this_o task_n to_o those_o that_o can_v undertake_v it_o i_o shall_v only_o note_v a_o particular_a or_o two_o of_o satan_n cunning_a in_o affix_v a_o error_n upon_o scripture_n first_o in_o any_o grand_a design_n of_o error_n he_o endeavour_v to_o lay_v the_o foundation_n of_o it_o as_o near_o to_o truth_n as_o he_o can_v but_o yet_o so_o that_o in_o the_o tendency_n of_o it_o it_o may_v go_v as_o far_o from_o it_o as_o may_v be_v as_o some_o river_n who_o first_o fountain_n be_v contiguous_a have_v notwithstanding_o a_o direct_a contrary_a course_n in_o their_o stream_n for_o instance_n in_o those_o error_n that_o tend_v to_o overthrow_v the_o doctrine_n of_o the_o gospel_n concern_v christ_n and_o ordinance_n and_o these_o be_v thing_n which_o the_o devil_n have_v a_o great_a spite_n at_o he_o begin_v his_o work_n with_o plausible_a pretence_n of_o love_n and_o admiration_n of_o christ_n and_o grace_n he_o proceed_v from_o thence_o to_o the_o pretence_n of_o pure_a enjoyment_n from_o thence_o to_o a_o dislike_n of_o such_o preacher_n and_o preach_a as_o threaten_v sin_n and_o speak_v out_o the_o wrath_n of_o god_n against_o

spirit_n from_o thence_o they_o come_v to_o christian_a liberty_n and_o by_o degree_n duty_n be_v unnecessary_a there_o be_v no_o christ_n but_o within_o they_o and_o be_v free_v from_o the_o law_n whatever_o they_o do_v be_v no_o transgression_n this_o be_v a_o path_n that_o satan_n have_v tread_v of_o old_a though_o now_o and_o then_o he_o may_v vary_v in_o some_o circumstance_n and_o be_v force_v to_o stop_v before_o he_o come_v to_o the_o utmost_a of_o his_o journey_n you_o may_v observe_v this_o method_n in_o the_o late_a error_n of_o new-england_n new-england_n in_o the_o familist_n of_o germany_n and_o in_o those_o of_o old-england_n in_o all_o which_o at_o the_o long-run_a man_n be_v lead_v as_o far_o from_o scripture_n as_o darkness_n be_v from_o light_n now_o this_o be_v not_o only_o to_o be_v see_v in_o a_o progressive_a multiplication_n of_o error_n but_o often_o may_v we_o perceive_v the_o same_o subtlety_n of_o satan_n in_o a_o simple_a error_n as_o when_o he_o take_v up_o part_n of_o a_o truth_n which_o shall_v stand_v in_o conjunction_n with_o another_o and_o set_v it_o up_o alone_o against_o its_o own_o companion_n where_o we_o shall_v have_v the_o name_n and_o pretence_n keep_v up_o but_o the_o thing_n quite_o destroy_v god_n require_v service_n of_o man_n and_o prescribe_v to_o their_o use_n prayer_n hear_v sacrament_n but_o because_o in_o these_o god_n be_v dishonour_v when_o man_n only_o draw_v near_o with_o their_o lip_n he_o further_o tell_v we_o that_o he_o be_v not_o a_o jew_n which_o be_v one_o outward_o neither_o be_v that_o circumcision_n which_o be_v of_o the_o flesh_n etc._n etc._n this_o part_n be_v some_o man_n so_o fix_v upon_o that_o they_o think_v they_o be_v discharge_v of_o the_o other_o and_o in_o practice_n go_v quite_o from_o these_o duty_n and_o yet_o still_o they_o profess_v they_o be_v for_o ordinance_n and_o the_o worship_n of_o god_n just_o so_o be_v some_o man_n for_o christ_n but_o then_o it_o be_v but_o the_o name_n not_o the_o thing_n they_o own_o christ_n they_o say_v but_o then_o it_o be_v christ_n in_o they_o and_o christ_n come_v in_o their_o flesh_n but_o not_o that_o christ_n that_o die_v at_o jerusalem_n as_o a_o sacrifice_n for_o the_o sin_n of_o men._n second_o satan_n take_v great_a care_n that_o a_o error_n be_v in_o all_o the_o way_n of_o its_o propagation_n clothe_v with_o scripture_n phrase_n and_o the_o less_o the_o error_n can_v pretend_v to_o any_o plausible_a ground_n of_o scripture_n the_o more_o do_v he_o endeavour_v to_o adorn_v it_o with_o scripture_n language_n i_o understand_v this_o chief_o of_o such_o error_n as_o be_v design_v for_o the_o multitude_n so_o that_o though_o scripture_n be_v not_o use_v to_o prove_v the_o error_n yet_o be_v deceiver_n teach_v to_o express_v their_o conception_n by_o it_o and_o to_o accommodate_v the_o word_n and_o sentence_n of_o it_o to_o their_o purpose_n for_o beside_o pride_n and_o confidence_n scriptural_a eloquence_n be_v a_o necessary_a ingredient_n to_o make_v a_o powerful_a deluder_n observe_v the_o ringleader_n of_o error_n and_o you_o shall_v find_v that_o ordinary_o such_o have_v at_o first_o be_v studious_a of_o the_o scripture_n and_o though_o never_o able_a to_o digest_v they_o yet_o when_o they_o turn_v their_o ear_n from_o truth_n they_o have_v carry_v their_o scripture_n language_n which_o they_o have_v before_o bring_v themselves_o unto_o by_o long_a custom_n away_o with_o they_o and_o still_o retain_v it_o and_o express_v their_o opinion_n by_o it_o now_o this_o be_v a_o great_a advantage_n to_o satan_n for_o first_o by_o this_o mean_v the_o ignorant_a multitude_n be_v often_o catch_v without_o any_o more_o ado_n if_o they_o hear_v scripture_n expression_n they_o be_v apt_a to_o think_v that_o all_o be_v truth_n which_o be_v speak_v by_o they_o and_o they_o the_o rather_o believe_v it_o because_o they_o will_v imagine_v such_o teacher_n to_o be_v well_o verse_v in_o scripture_n and_o consequent_o either_o so_o honest_a or_o so_o know_v that_o they_o neither_o can_v nor_o will_v delude_v they_o second_o there_o be_v a_o majesty_n in_o scripture_n which_o in_o some_o sense_n do_v stick_v to_o the_o very_a expression_n of_o it_o man_n may_v perceive_v that_o general_o hearer_n be_v more_o affect_v with_o scripture_n eloquence_n than_o with_o playbook_n language_n it_o have_v as_o it_o be_v a_o charm_n in_o the_o word_n which_o make_v the_o ear_n attentive_a more_o than_o a_o quaint_a discourse_n starch_v up_o in_o the_o dres●_n of_o
