A39163	A vindication of the ministers of Christ from the slander cast on them that they are house-creepers, because they sometimes preach in private houses : also proving by the Scripture who are house-creepers, and the evil they do where their corrupt doctrine is received / held forth in two sermons on 2 Tim. 3. 6., by W.E.

love_n of_o the_o truth_n i.e._n though_o they_o have_v some_o illumination_n and_o some_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n yet_o they_o have_v not_o the_o love_n of_o the_o truth_n in_o their_o heart_n they_o do_v not_o receive_v it_o as_o from_o god_n and_o so_o subject_a themselves_o unto_o it_o but_o their_o heart_n do_v rise_v against_o it_o because_o it_o cross_v their_o lust_n and_o will_n now_o god_n in_o his_o just_a judgement_n do_v give_v such_o over_o to_o believe_v a_o lie_n this_o you_o may_v take_v notice_n of_o that_o where_o god_n be_v gracious_o please_v to_o afford_v mean_n of_o knowledge_n to_o a_o people_n and_o that_o people_n do_v either_o slight_v it_o and_o take_v little_a notice_n of_o it_o or_o else_o content_a themselves_o in_o a_o bare_a external_a profession_n and_o do_v not_o receive_v it_o in_o love_n and_o submission_n god_n be_v please_v sometime_o to_o give_v such_o over_o to_o be_v very_o corrupt_a indeed_o and_o to_o embrace_v error_n contrary_a to_o those_o truth_n that_o former_o they_o have_v receive_v how_o many_o have_v there_o be_v in_o these_o time_n late_o pass_v that_o have_v live_v under_o a_o profession_n and_o seem_v very_o zealous_a and_o forward_a and_o yet_o some_o corruption_n sway_v their_o heart_n they_o have_v not_o only_o fall_v off_o from_o that_o fervour_n in_o the_o ordinance_n of_o god_n but_o have_v look_v on_o they_o as_o below_o their_o attainment_n and_o as_o needless_a thing_n to_o they_o and_o look_v on_o the_o vain_a fancy_n and_o conceit_n that_o arise_v in_o their_o mind_n to_o be_v the_o breathe_n and_o moving_n of_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n and_o at_o last_o cast_v off_o all_o show_n of_o religion_n and_o question_n whether_o there_o be_v any_o religion_n or_o god_n yea_o or_o no_o now_o consider_v this_o what_o a_o sad_a and_o dreadful_a thing_n be_v this_o to_o fall_v into_o such_o delusion_n and_o yet_o how_o many_o be_v there_o of_o those_o who_o god_n be_v please_v thus_o to_o give_v over_o who_o one_o will_v have_v think_v shall_v never_o have_v receive_v such_o thing_n as_o these_o in_o their_o heart_n but_o it_o have_v be_v evident_a by_o fad_n and_o woeful_a experience_n and_o this_o indeed_o be_v not_o to_o be_v admire_v at_o but_o we_o may_v rather_o marvel_v that_o it_o be_v not_o general_a among_o we_o consider_v how_o we_o have_v slight_v the_o god_n word_n and_o deny_v the_o power_n of_o it_o in_o our_o life_n god_n be_v please_v once_o more_o to_o give_v we_o this_o liberty_n that_o we_o shall_v open_o enjoy_v his_o ordinance_n let_v we_o remember_v that_o god_n will_v not_o suffer_v such_o mercy_n to_o be_v abuse_v it_o be_v high_a time_n for_o we_o to_o look_v to_o ourselves_o to_o labour_v to_o know_v the_o mind_n and_o will_n of_o god_n and_o know_v it_o to_o embrace_v it_o with_o affection_n and_o obedience_n if_o we_o know_v not_o the_o thing_n that_o belong_v to_o our_o peace_n in_o the_o day_n of_o our_o visitation_n we_o can_v expect_v but_o that_o the_o issue_n will_v be_v sad_a that_o god_n may_v judicial_o give_v man_n over_o to_o a_o spirit_n of_o delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v run_v into_o the_o most_o dreadful_a and_o erroneous_a opinion_n and_o all_o kind_n of_o gross_a and_o idolatrous_a superstition_n and_o wickedness_n and_o thus_o we_o have_v clear_v the_o point_n the_o ground_n follow_v 1._o because_o ignorant_a person_n

that_o know_v not_o truth_n from_o error_n may_v be_v easy_o deceive_v especial_o when_o there_o be_v a_o outward_a show_n and_o fair_a gloss_n put_v upon_o it_o a_o man_n may_v easy_o be_v overcome_v in_o combat_n that_o be_v discover_v or_o that_o have_v no_o skill_n to_o use_v his_o arm_n many_o man_n live_v without_o god_n word_n and_o though_o they_o have_v it_o do_v not_o know_v how_o to_o
