and Esay 29.13 And this not only by the secret instinct inspiration and operation of the holy Ghost but also by a godly experience which they haue gotten and gathered by hauing their wits exercised through long custome to discerne betweene good and cuill as the Apostle to the Hebrewes Chap. 5.14 which power of the spirit our Sauiour Christ declared when as he called the ruler of the Synagogue Hypocrite who tooke indignation that our Sauiour should heale the people on the Sabboth day Luk. 13.15 And when he called Herod Antipas a fox knowing full wel his subtiltie in sending for him to shew him a signe as he pretended but indeed to put him to death as he intended Luk 13.32 And lastly when as he could discerne Iudas Ischariot from all the rest of his Disciples to be a theefe a betraier and a Diuell Ioh. 6.70 And this gift of the holy Ghost did Peter giue euidence to be in himselfe when as he could separate that paire of hollow-hearted Hypocrites and halfe parting dissemblers Ananias and Saphira from all other the sound christians and faithfull beleeuing brethren in their time Act. 5. As also in Symon Magus whose heart he sounded to the bottome when as he would haue purchased the gift of the holy Ghost for money telling him that his heart was not right in the sight of God but that he was in the gaule of bitternesse and bond of iniquitie Acts 8.21.23 This did Paul likewise shew towards Elimas the Sorcerer in vnfoulding his hypocrisie before his face and saying vnto him O full of all subtiltie and mischiefe the childe of the Diuell and enemy to all righteousnesse wilt thou not cease to peruert the straight waies of the Lord Actes 13.10 Which gift of discerning of spirits was not onely found to be in Christ himselfe and his Apostles but also in Moyses himselfe and the Prophets As in Moyses when he knew and vnderstood that Eldad and Medad that prophesied in the host of Israell were the true prophets of the Lord whom Iehosua suspected and misdeemed to haue been false prophets Numb 11. As also Elizeus when he knewe the Hypocriticall minde of Gebezi telling him that his heart was with him when he went to Naaman the Syrian 2. King 5.26 And finally in Iohn the Baptist when as for their horrible Hypocrisie he called the Pharises and Saduces Generation of Vipers and told them what they thought in their hearts by soothing and smoothing vp themselues for that they had Abraham to their Father Mat. 3.9 And not to these onely but to manie other the faithfull and elect about this time was this exceeding gift communicated that necessarily for the strengthening and establishing of themselues being as yet but new-borne babes in the house of God amid so manie vpstart Scismatickes Heretikes and Antichrists in the faith of their profession Two touch stones of the spirit of the word that by the two touchstones the one external of the word the other internall of the spirit of both which they were made partakers and that in great manner and measure they might discerne and make difference between the false Doctour and the true teacher of the Gospell euen to trie before they trust and to touch before they take to examine before they imbrace and to be sure of the soundnesse and synceritie of any doctrine before they beleeue and accept it According to the counsell and commandement of our Apostle afterwards to these men to whom he here writeth in his Epistle that they should in exercising this grace giuen vnto them when he saith Dearely beloued beleeue not euerie spirit but trie the spirits whether they be good or no annexing a reason thereunto of the danger of the time For many false Prophets are gone out into the world A watch-word of warning A token of triall And after this watch-word of warning in the former verse he giueth them a token of triall in the next verse Hereby shall ye know the spirit of God Euerie spirit that confesseth that Iesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God 1. Ioh. 4.1.2 c. Yea how behoouefull this was our Sauiour himselfe telleth vs in the Gospell That there should arise false Prophets and false Christs and should shew great signes and wonders so that if it were possible they should deceiue the verie elect Mat. 24.24 Luk. 17.14 But not to dwell any longer in this matter howsoeuer these words may after a manner be thus taken fitly according to the Analogie of faith yet is the former sence farre more proper as comming neerest to the meaning of the Apostle and sentence of the Scripture and to the which I my selfe doe in iudgement rather incline being indeed nothing els but an holy Hyperbole All thinges All for manie here taken for many thinges as it is vsuall euerie where in the Scripture As for example and semblably as in this place All Iudca all Ierusalem and all the Region round about Iordan went out into the wildernesse vnto Iohn the Baptist not all and none least which had been vnpossible but manie and all for the most part Mat. 3.4 As likewise Luke in that his definition of the Gospell To be a treatise of all things which Iesus beganne to doe and teach by all meaning the especiall things which were worthy to be written of him and necessarie to be knowne of vs Act. 1.19 For otherwise the whole world could not containe the bookes that should be written of him as Ioh. 21.25 And finally as Paul That God will haue all men to be saued c. All 1. Tim. 2.4 not collectiue but distributiue Non pro singulis generum Rom. 5.14.18 but pro generibus singulorum or els all for many as the same Apostle All men iustified verse 18. and yet but many ver 14. Our Apostle signifying hereby that they had a great encrease and plentifull measure of knowledge yea such and so great as that they needed not any further instruction hauing been alreadie fully informed in all things necessarie vnto their Saluation As the Lord bethanked the like may be saide of many amongst vs in this time of the noon light and sunshine of the Gospell who although they be but hearers of the word yet in comparison of the lamentable ignorance of such blinde guides which haue been heretofore in the time of Poperie in whom was required no more then this Qui bene Can Con Le poterit is praesbiter esse which must needs be the cause of the grosse superstition and palpable darknesse of former ages may be accounted in respect of their learning in the holy Scriptures which they haue gotten by the blessing of God and their owne diligence through their continuall hearing reading conference meditation and exercise in the word not Disciples but Doctors not Scholers but teachers not young nouices but perfect professours in the Church of God being not onely sufficient to render an account of their faith as Peter requireth in
