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 not_o the_o truth_n that_o they_o may_v be_v save_v therefore_o god_n shall_v send_v they_o strong_a delusion_n that_o they_o shall_v believe_v lie_n that_o they_o may_v be_v damn_v which_o believe_v not_o the_o truth_n but_o have_v pleasure_n in_o unrighteousness_n but_o how_o be_v it_o possible_a you_o will_v say_v that_o they_o shall_v fall_v from_o one_o corrupt_a opinion_n to_o another_o do_v not_o their_o own_o conscience_n check_v they_o i_o answer_v the_o conscience_n of_o a_o heretic_n be_v a_o sear_a conscience_n their_o conscience_n be_v sear_v with_o a_o hot_a iron_n 1_o tim._n 4.2_o who_o do_v the_o apostle_n mean_v there_o you_o may_v see_v in_o the_o first_o verse_n such_o as_o give_v heed_n unto_o spirit_n of_o error_n and_o doctrine_n of_o devil_n their_o conscience_n be_v past_a feeling_n when_o god_n have_v once_o give_v a_o man_n or_o woman_n over_o conscience_n very_o seldom_o trouble_v they_o though_o they_o fall_v into_o horrible_a blasphemy_n yet_o seldom_o or_o never_o their_o conscience_n trouble_v they_o why_o so_o because_o god_n have_v give_v they_o over_o and_o this_o make_v the_o condition_n of_o a_o man_n or_o woman_n miserable_a the_o apostle_n say_v heb._n 10.31_o it_o be_v a_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v into_o the_o hand_n of_o the_o live_a god_n but_o it_o be_v a_o more_o fearful_a thing_n to_o fall_v out_o of_o the_o hand_n of_o god_n and_o therefore_o their_o condition_n be_v very_o fearful_a use_v 2_o the_o second_o use_n be_v for_o reproof_n see_v god_n be_v the_o best_a teacher_n and_o instructor_n of_o his_o people_n it_o
