read_v the_o scripture_n it_o cause_v they_o to_o fall_v into_o very_o extravagant_a opinion_n and_o heresy_n how_o horrid_a a_o thing_n be_v it_o to_o affirm_v this_o real_o it_o appear_v no_o less_o

wrest_v the_o scripture_n as_o well_o i_o shall_v say_v as_o ill_a as_o the_o unlearned_a but_o first_o i_o desire_v my_o pretend_v wise_a man_n to_o advise_v a_o little_a with_o st._n paul_n rom._n seven_o 10._o where_o he_o tell_v we_o that_o the_o commandment_n which_o be_v ordain_v unto_o life_n he_o find_v unto_o death_n do_v he_o therefore_o lie_v aside_o the_o commandment_n god_n forbid_v the_o commandment_n be_v good_a and_o holy_a how_o then_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v he_o tell_v we_o vers_fw-la 8._o that_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o commandment_n wrought_v in_o he_o all_o

the_o commandment_n that_o wrought_v death_n in_o st._n paul_n but_o sin_n that_o be_v concupiscence_n the_o corruption_n of_o nature_n that_o be_v in_o he_o this_o cause_v all_o the_o evil_n and_o just_o so_o it_o be_v in_o our_o case_n it_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o cause_v heresy_n schism_n and_o division_n among_o we_o god_n forbid_v we_o shall_v say_v so_o but_o sin_n take_v occasion_n by_o the_o scripture_n work_v all_o these_o the_o corruption_n of_o man_n nature_n blind_v and_o deceive_v they_o the_o pride_n and_o wilfulness_n of_o their_o heart_n the_o conceit_n of_o their_o own_o holiness_n and_o godly_a understanding_n set_v they_o forward_o in_o opposition_n to_o the_o common_a receive_v doctrine_n and_o to_o affect_v singularity_n and_o applause_n by_o teach_v some_o new_a thing_n then_o they_o tumble_v over_o the_o scripture_n to_o find_v out_o text_n that_o carry_v some_o colour_n for_o it_o as_o they_o fond_o conceive_v and_o have_v find_v such_o they_o present_o blaze_v abroad_o their_o new_a doctrine_n which_o the_o giddy_a unconstant_a people_n always_o fond_a of_o new_a thing_n present_o catch_v at_o and_o follow_v this_o puff_v up_o the_o teacher_n and_o set_v they_o agog_o and_o make_v they_o ready_a to_o suffer_v any_o thing_n in_o that_o behalf_n for_o this_o increase_v the_o reputation_n of_o their_o sanctity_n as_o suffer_v imprisonment_n and_o the_o like_a for_o the_o truth_n and_o at_o length_n by_o large_a contribution_n this_o come_v to_o increase_v the_o wealth_n of_o their_o purse_n also_o and_o then_o there_o be_v no_o reduce_v they_o to_o obedience_n and_o order_n now_o as_o st._n paul_n say_v it_o be_v not_o the_o scripture_n which_o cause_v all_o this_o but_o sin_n the_o spiritual_a pride_n of_o their_o

their_o spiritual_a pride_n of_o heart_n will_v cause_v the_o same_o division_n and_o heresy_n do_v not_o we_o see_v this_o daily_o happen_v to_o they_o who_o reject_v the_o scripture_n and_o walk_v by_o their_o new_a inward_a light_n which_o they_o pretend_v god_n infuse_v into_o they_o this_o make_v it_o most_o manifest_a that_o all_o our_o division_n as_o st._n paul_n say_v proceed_v from_o
