liken_v to_o the_o false_a prophet_n of_o old_a that_o the_o lord_n complain_v against_o jer._n 13.4_o o_o israel_n thy_o prophet_n be_v like_o the_o fox_n in_o the_o desert_n you_o have_v not_o go_v

peradventure_o you_o hear_v they_o often_o rail_v in_o their_o pulpit_n but_o if_o they_o meet_v any_o of_o they_o that_o they_o call_v wolf_n although_o many_o of_o their_o flock_n be_v there_o

as_o much_o as_o they_o care_v for_o the_o four_o character_n be_v char._n you_o may_v know_v a_o false_a prophet_n by_o the_o ignorance_n of_o their_o people_n they_o be_v such_o as_o lead_v silly_a woman_n captive_a who_o be_v ever_o learning_n and_o never_o able_a to_o come_v to_o the_o knowledge_n of_o the_o truth_n this_o we_o may_v see_v by_o the_o poor_a national_a people_n that_o go_v to_o

frog_n of_o egypt_n do_v not_o abide_v in_o pharaoh_n court_n only_o but_o also_o they_o creep_v into_o his_o kneadingtrougle_n and_o i_o find_v in_o the_o sixteen_o of_o the_o revelation_n that_o those_o unclean_a spirit_n like_o frog_n go_v creep_v unto_o the_o king_n of_o the_o earth_n to_o gather_v they_o together_o to_o battle_n which_o have_v be_v the_o trade_n of_o the_o priesthood_n all_o along_o to_o beget_v war_n in_o the_o nation_n to_o use_v the_o private_a and_o subtle_a way_n to_o bring_v about_o their_o enterprise_n which_o may_v be_v call_v ereep_v and_o further_o though_o they_o come_v not_o much_o among_o the_o poor_a of_o the_o flock_n in_o their_o cottage_n yet_o in_o the_o house_n of_o the_o rich_a they_o will_v creep_v often_o enough_o the_o second_o thing_n in_o order_n to_o the_o answer_n of_o the_o objection_n be_v this_o that_o paul_n condemn_v not_o preach_v in_o house_n for_o than_o he_o have_v condemn_v his_o own_o practice_n for_o he_o preach_v from_o house_n to_o house_n often_o and_o often_o in_o his_o own_o hire_a house_n as_o act_n 28.30_o 31._o and_o further_o he_o tell_v they_o in_o chap._n 20._o ver._n 20._o i_o have_v keep_v

of_o sillly_n woman_n that_o creep_v into_o house_n as_o i_o have_v afore_o show_v you_o this_o may_v also_o serve_v to_o reprove_v another_o sort_n of_o false_a prophet_n but_o i_o pass_v and_o
