A76988	The arraignment of errour: or, A discourse serving as a curb to restrain the wantonnesse of mens spirits in the entertainment of opinions; and as a compasse, whereby we may sail in the search and finding of truth; distributed into six main questions. Quest. 1. How it may stand with Gods, with Satans, with a mans own ends, that there should be erroneous opinions? Quest. 2. What are the grounds of abounding errours? Quest. 3. Why so many are carried away with errour? Quest. 4. Who those are that are in danger? Quest. 5. What are the examens, or the trials of opinions, and characters of truth? Quest. 6. What waies God hath left in his Word for the suppressing of errour, and reducing of erroneous persons? Under which generall questions, many other necessary and profitable queries are comprized, discussed, and resolved. And in conclusion of all; some motives, and means, conducing to an happy accommodation of our present differences, are subjoyned. / By Samuel Bolton minister of the Word of God at Saviours-Southwark.

therefore_o how_o darkness_n shall_v be_v at_o that_o time_n when_o such_o abundance_n of_o light_n be_v prophesy_v of_o how_o error_n and_o abound_a error_n at_o such_o a_o time_n when_o truth_n and_o abound_a truth_n shall_v be_v make_v know_v here_o be_v a_o wonder_n but_o christ_n put_v it_o out_o of_o question_n that_o this_o shall_v be_v at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n when_o many_o shall_v come_v in_o his_o name_n and_o say_v i_o be_o christ_n and_o therefore_o we_o will_v inquire_v what_o may_v be_v the_o ground_n that_o now_o in_o our_o time_n which_o be_v towards_o the_o end_n of_o all_o thing_n that_o there_o shall_v be_v such_o a_o abundance_n of_o dangerous_a and_o erroneous_a opinion_n it_o be_v say_v indeed_o that_o at_o the_o end_n of_o the_o world_n satan_n shall_v be_v loose_v and_o he_o shall_v go_v and_o deceive_v the_o nation_n rev._n 20.7_o but_o i_o conceive_v that_o time_n of_o bind_v and_o lose_v be_v not_o yet_o come_v satan_n be_v not_o yet_o

spirit_n of_o seduction_n and_o delusion_n in_o the_o heart_n of_o man_n and_o therefore_o 1._o the_o first_o great_a ground_n of_o abound_a error_n now_o i_o conceive_v to_o be_v satan_n who_o be_v call_v the_o god_n of_o this_o world_n and_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o therefore_o be_v the_o patron_n of_o error_n as_o all_o truth_n be_v light_a so_o all_o error_n be_v darkness_n as_o god_n be_v the_o father_n of_o light_n and_o truth_n so_o be_v satan_n the_o grandfather_n of_o darkness_n and_o error_n who_o have_v long_o walk_v as_o a_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o have_v rule_v and_o reign_v in_o the_o dark_a time_n and_o place_n and_o in_o the_o darkness_n of_o our_o understanding_n till_o at_o last_o the_o glorious_a truth_n and_o light_n of_o the_o gospel_n have_v discover_v he_o and_o therefore_o from_o a_o prince_n of_o darkness_n he_o labour_v now_o to_o turn_v to_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n and_o so_o seduce_v those_o by_o a_o false_a light_n which_o he_o can_v not_o prevail_v withal_o as_o a_o prince_n of_o darkness_n as_o he_o be_v a_o prince_n of_o da●knesse_n so_o he_o blind_v man_n eye_n lest_o the_o light_n of_o the_o glorious_a gospel_n of_o

2_o cor._n 11.13_o 14_o 15._o where_o he_o tell_v they_o of_o false_a apostle_n deceitful_a worker_n transform_v themselves_o into_o the_o apostle_n of_o christ_n and_o no_o marvel_n say_v he_o for_o

that_o shape_n no_o long_o and_o therefore_o he_o come_v now_o to_o deceive_v they_o as_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n in_o the_o first_o he_o blind_v in_o the_o second_o he_o deceive_v in_o the_o first_o he_o be_v a_o opposer_n in_o this_o a_o seducer_n and_o here_o be_v a_o great_a deal_n in_o this_o satan_n transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n why_o how_o will_v a_o angel_n of_o light_n come_v to_o win_v you_o to_o the_o truth_n will_v he_o tell_v you_o that_o this_o be_v a_o truth_n of_o god_n a_o glorious_a truth_n will_v he_o set_v out_o the_o danger_n of_o reject_v it_o

we_o in_o service_n be_v helpful_a to_o our_o walk_n destructive_a to_o our_o lust_n why_o for_o ought_v i_o know_v satan_n may_v use_v all_o the_o same_o argument_n and_o motive_n to_o prevail_v with_o we_o to_o the_o entertainment_n of_o error_n what_o ever_o a_o bless_a angel_n of_o light_n may_v use_v as_o a_o argument_n or_o motive_n to_o prevail_v with_o we_o to_o close_o with_o truth_n that_o may_v satan_n use_v too_o to_o persuade_v with_o we_o to_o entertain_v a_o error_n otherwise_o he_o can_v not_o transform_v himself_o into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n if_o he_o do_v not_o act_n and_o deal_v with_o we_o so_o as_o it_o be_v not_o possible_a by_o his_o act_n to_o discern_v he_o from_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n how_o can_v he_o be_v say_v to_o be_v transform_v into_o a_o angel_n of_o light_n if_o man_n may_v say_v this_o be_v the_o prince_n of_o darkness_n and_o the_o same_o you_o see_v of_o those_o false_a apostle_n and_o deceitful_a worker_n who_o yet_o transform_v

christ_n tell_v we_o the_o same_o here_o many_o shall_v come_v in_o my_o name_n and_o say_v lo_o here_o be_v christ_n and_o this_o be_v the_o first_o ground_n of_o abound_a error_n at_o this_o time_n
