of_o god_n unto_o the_o people_n they_o can_v make_v the_o soul_n to_o stoop_v to_o those_o truth_n and_o practise_v those_o truth_n which_o they_o teach_v but_o herein_o appear_v the_o excellency_n of_o god_n teach_v above_o man_n he_o can_v make_v the_o soul_n to_o yield_v obedience_n unto_o the_o truth_n deliver_v he_o can_v bring_v the_o soul_n under_o the_o power_n of_o those_o truth_n see_v

he_o do_v teach_v the_o minister_n do_v preach_v but_o to_o some_o of_o god_n people_n but_o god_n do_v teach_v all_o his_o people_n himself_o they_o be_v all_o teach_v of_o he_o and_o as_o god_n do_v teach_v all_o his_o people_n so_o he_o can_v teach_v they_o all_o at_o once_o the_o minister_n can_v teach_v but_o some_o at_o once_o but_o god_n can_v teach_v all_o the_o congregation_n that_o do_v

his_o people_n so_o that_o consider_v the_o time_n the_o place_n and_o the_o person_n and_o in_o all_o these_o it_o will_v appear_v god_n teach_v be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_v three_o god_n teach_v the_o soul_n be_v more_o excellent_a than_o man_v it_o appear_v if_o we_o consider_v the_o infallibility_n of_o god_n teach_v and_o instruct_v his_o people_n he_o be_v a_o infallible_a teacher_n he_o do_v teach_v the_o soul_n infallible_a truth_n earthly_a teacher_n be_v not_o infallible_a teacher_n though_o they_o be_v faithful_a and_o endeavour_v to_o deliver_v the_o truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n unto_o people_n yet_o they_o be_v but_o man_n and_o may_v err_v but_o god_n can_v err_v in_o teach_v of_o his_o people_n for_o he_o do_v teach_v his_o people_n according_a to_o his_o word_n which_o be_v infallible_a heaven_n and_o earth_n shall_v perish_v but_o not_o one_o jot_n or_o tittle_n shall_v fall_v but_o here_o may_v arise_v a_o objection_n god_n do_v teach_v his_o people_n by_o the_o outward_a ministry_n of_o the_o word_n but_o the_o minister_n be_v not_o infallible_a ergo_fw-la god_n be_v not_o a_o infallible_a teacher_n of_o his_o people_n answ_n the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v a_o infallible_a word_n and_o this_o be_v that_o god_n do_v teach_v his_o people_n by_o then_o second_o it_o be_v when_o the_o minister_n hit_v upon_o the_o true_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n when_o he_o do_v give_v the_o true_a sense_n and_o meaning_n of_o the_o holy_a ghost_n from_o a_o text_n that_o the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v accompany_v it_o and_o make_v it_o profitable_a unto_o the_o people_n for_o we_o must_v note_v the_o spirit_n of_o god_n do_v not_o go_v along_o with_o a_o false_a interpretation_n of_o scripture_n but_o with_o the_o true_a sense_n for_o god_n spirit_n do_v accompany_v the_o truth_n man_n deliver_v and_o not_o the_o error_n so_o that_o still_o it_o will_v hold_v a_o truth_n man_n may_v err_v but_o god_n be_v the_o

profess_v themselves_o to_o be_v god_n people_n there_o be_v so_o much_o division_n and_o dissension_n and_o strange_a opinion_n and_o that_o they_o be_v so_o contrary_a one_o to_o another_o in_o judgement_n when_o we_o consider_v this_o we_o can_v conclude_v that_o it_o be_v such_o a_o dignity_n to_o be_v teach_v of_o god_n answ_n it_o be_v true_a among_o professor_n at_o this_o day_n there_o be_v much_o difference_n in_o judgement_n some_o be_v of_o one_o opinion_n and_o some_o of_o another_o some_o be_v fall_v into_o strange_a and_o corrupt_a opinion_n but_o this_o come_v not_o to_o pass_v because_o god_n teach_v his_o people_n several_a way_n but_o first_o because_o they_o do_v not_o learn_v of_o god_n for_o god_n be_v not_o the_o author_n of_o the_o error_n that_o abound_v among_o professor_n but_o the_o author_n of_o truth_n and_o that_o he_o teach_v the_o soul_n be_v truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n nothing_o but_o that_o which_o be_v agreeable_a to_o his_o will_n and_o therefore_o it_o be_v not_o because_o god_n teach_v they_o corrupt_a opinion_n but_o because_o they_o do_v not_o learn_v of_o god_n second_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v that_o among_o professor_n they_o hold_v strange_a opinion_n because_o as_o god_n teach_v the_o truth_n and_o nothing_o but_o the_o truth_n to_o his_o people_n so_o the_o devil_n sow_v the_o seed_n of_o division_n among_o people_n where_o god_n sow_v wheat_n the_o devil_n sow_n tare_n where_o god_n make_v know_v his_o truth_n there_o the_o devil_n seek_v to_o infect_v people_n with_o error_n three_o it_o come_v to_o pass_v by_o permittance_n god_n be_v please_v to_o permit_v it_o he_o permit_v it_o for_o two_o cause_n first_o for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n the_o lord_n let_v his_o own_o people_n many_o time_n run_v into_o strange_a opinion_n for_o a_o time_n that_o he_o may_v bring_v they_o back_o again_o and_o establish_v they_o the_o more_o firm_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o there_o be_v none_o to_o such_o christian_n as_o these_o when_o the_o lord_n have_v bring_v they_o back_o again_o than_o they_o will_v acknowledge_v their_o weakness_n and_o how_o subject_a they_o be_v to_o be_v mislead_v ah_o say_v the_o poor_a soul_n i_o have_v like_a to_o have_v miscarry_v and_o be_v carry_v away_o with_o such_o and_o such_o corrupt_a opinion_n have_v not_o the_o lord_n in_o mercy_n bring_v i_o back_o again_o now_o they_o will_v walk_v more_o humble_o and_o now_o they_o will_v stand_v up_o for_o the_o truth_n and_o defend_v it_o more_o bold_o than_o they_o do_v former_o they_o will_v advise_v their_o friend_n and_o bid_v they_o take_v heed_n of_o be_v seduce_v they_o will_v try_v the_o spirit_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v whether_o they_o be_v of_o god_n or_o no_o they_o will_v be_v more_o earnest_n with_o god_n for_o the_o time_n to_o come_v to_o establish_v they_o in_o the_o truth_n and_o thus_o the_o lord_n do_v it_o for_o the_o good_a of_o his_o people_n second_o the_o lord_n permit_v it_o out_o of_o a_o just_a judgement_n to_o other_o who_o though_o they_o be_v glorious_a professor_n yet_o because_o their_o heart_n be_v not_o sound_a he_o will_v discover_v they_o by_o this_o mean_n when_o they_o come_v to_o forsake_v the_o way_n and_o truth_n of_o jesus_n christ_n and_o run_v into_o this_o and_o that_o error_n and_o then_o from_o one_o thing_n to_o another_o till_o at_o the_o length_n they_o come_v to_o deny_v the_o scripture_n and_o live_v profane_o thus_o many_o come_v to_o be_v discover_v in_o these_o time_n and_o second_o he_o give_v they_o up_o to_o their_o corrupt_a opinion_n and_o this_o be_v a_o great_a judgement_n when_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o they_o as_o to_o ephraim_n he_o be_v join_v to_o idol_n let_v he_o alone_o hosea_n 4.17_o so_o when_o the_o lord_n say_v to_o they_o they_o be_v join_v to_o their_o corrupt_a opinion_n let_v they_o alone_o let_v they_o hold_v atheism_n if_o they_o will_v let_v they_o hold_v arminianism_n arianisme_n marcellianisme_n nicolaitanism_n mahometism_n anabaptism_n antinomianism_n if_o they_o will_v let_v they_o hold_v that_o the_o soul_n be_v mortal_a and_o die_v with_o the_o body_n and_o that_o the_o word_n of_o god_n be_v write_v tradition_n and_o when_o they_o have_v receive_v the_o spirit_n the_o letter_n shall_v cease_v let_v they_o alone_o i_o will_v give_v they_o over_o to_o these_o opinion_n because_o they_o refuse_v to_o be_v guide_v by_o the_o rule_n of_o truth_n i_o will_v give_v they_o up_o to_o strong_a delusion_n 2_o thes_n 2.11_o 12._o because_o they_o receive_v
