Now
I
beseech
you
,
brethren
,
marke
them
which
cause
deuisions
and
offences
,
contrary
to
the
Doctrine
which
yee
haue
learned
,
and
avoid
them
.
For
they
that
are
such
,
serue
not
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
but
their
owne
belly
,
and
by
good
words
,
and
faire
speeches
,
deceiue
the
hearts
of
the
simple
.
THE
Church
of
God
militant
vpon
earth
,
vpon
diuers
reasons
,
is
diuersly
compared
in
the
Scriptures
:
A
Doue
for
the
innocencie
thereof
:
The
house
of
God
,
because
by
his
Word
and
graces
,
he
doth
dwell
in
it
,
the
body
of
Christ
,
because
Christ
is
the
head
thereof
,
giuing
life
,
and
governing
it
,
as
well
generally
,
as
in
euery
particular
member
:
Certainly
,
these
zealous
enemies
are
more
dangerous
to
the
poore
Citizens
than
the
other
,
for
as
Cyprian
saith
,
Now
I
beseech
you
brethren
.
Which
words
are
the
vade
vale
,
to
the
whole
matter
of
the
whole
Epistle
,
and
as
distinguished
by
two
verses
,
so
distinguished
by
two
parts
,
for
in
the
former
verse
he
doth
Orare
,
hee
doth
intreate
them
to
marke
,
and
to
avoide
those
that
cause
divisions
and
offences
:
in
the
latter
he
doth
Narrare
,
he
doth
shew
the
cause
or
reason
why
they
should
so
doe
.
His
request
or
intreaty
hath
three
parts
,
I
beseech
you
.
The
second
part
of
his
intreatie
is
,
docta
descriptio
,
a
learned
description
of
all
such
persons
,
from
their
vnquiet
mindes
;
they
are
not
content
to
goe
to
hell
alone
,
but
they
tro
〈…〉
the
Church
;
first
with
vnsauorie
doctrine
,
cau●●●g
diusions
;
Secondly
,
with
lewd
manners
causing
offences
,
the
impiety
whereof
is
demonstrated
a
Contrario
,
by
the
contrary
layed
against
it
.
Such
diuisions
and
offences
,
are
contrary
to
the
doctrine
which
yee
haue
learned
.
The
last
is
Pia
admonitio
,
godly
counsell
how
wee
should
deale
with
them
.
And
this
conteyneth
two
precepts
,
first
to
marke
them
,
secondly
to
avoide
them
:
thus
farre
goeth
his
request
or
intreatie
,
ver.
17.
The
Narration
containes
an
Aetiologie
,
that
is
an
exposition
of
the
cause
or
reason
why
such
men
are
to
be
auoided
,
which
is
three-fold
;
the
first
is
drawn
from
the
scope
of
their
profession
set
downe
1.
Negatiuely
,
they
serue
not
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
2.
Affirmatiuely
;
but
they
serue
their
owne
belly
.
The
second
is
from
the
plausiblenesse
of
their
behauiour
:
they
vse
first
good
words
,
wherein
wee
note
their
diuine
▪
like
conference
.
Secondly
faire
speeches
,
wherein
wee
obserue
their
morall
eloquence
.
The
third
is
from
the
effect
of
their
practice
,
which
is
to
deceiue
,
and
seduce
,
what
?
the
Heart
,
and
of
whom
?
of
the
simple
.
Of
these
particulars
I
intend
an
orderly
discourse
;
first
,
crauing
your
patience
to
heare
those
persons
named
,
against
whose
poyson
,
so
skilfull
a
Phisition
,
as
St.
Paul
was
,
thought
good
to
confect
so
strong
a
potion
;
they
are
in
the
common
language
of
the
Church
,
Heretickes
and
Schismatickes
,
with
which
names
,
and
the
reasons
of
them
,
and
the
difference
betwixt
them
,
I
shall
briefly
make
you
acquainted
.
It
cannot
be
denied
,
but
that
in
the
Scriptures
this
word
is
sometimes
taken
in
the
best
sense
,
importing
no
more
but
doctrine
,
as
where
it
is
said
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
&c.
for
as
concerning
this
sect
(
or
heresie
)
wee
know
that
euery
where
it
is
spoken
against
.
Sometimes
it
is
taken
in
the
worst
sense
purporting
the
doctrine
of
deuills
,
maintained
against
the
principles
of
religion
.
A
man
that
is
an
Hereticke
,
after
the
first
,
and
second
admonition
reiect
:
but
the
vse
of
the
Church
,
(
since
Heretickes
after
the
Resurrection
,
and
more
especially
within
the
first
fiue
hundred
yeares
,
sprang
vp
thickly
among
the
people
of
God
,
as
tares
among
Wheate
,
swarming
in
the
light
of
the
Gospell
,
like
Locusts
of
Egipt
,
and
men
,
reiecting
the
true
way
of
Gods
worship
,
made
choyce
of
peculiar
manners
of
worships
,
according
to
their
seuerall
fancies
,
)
hath
brought
to
passe
,
that
this
word
is
onely
taken
in
the
worst
sense
,
so
that
from
the
word
it selfe
,
it
is
easie
to
define
an
hereticke
;
Hee
is
one
that
professeth
the
name
of
Christ
,
and
who
maintaineth
obstinately
any
one
,
or
more
opinions
,
repugnant
to
the
grounds
of
our
Christian
faith
:
whereby
he
is
distinguished
,
first
from
all
licentious
Christians
,
who
,
though
by
their
euill
liues
,
they
deny
euen
that
blessed
name
by
which
they
are
redeemed
,
yet
must
wee
not
call
them
heretickes
,
for
that
they
maintaine
no
opinion
,
that
it
is
lawfull
so
to
doe
.
Secondly
,
he
is
distinguished
from
Iewes
and
Turks
,
who
denie
the
divinitie
of
Christ
;
because
they
professe
not
themselues
to
be
Christians
.
Lastly
,
hee
is
distinguished
from
such
erring
Christians
,
who
for
want
of
a
sound
Iudgement
,
misconceiue
the
very
grounds
of
Religion
,
as
the
Corithians
did
,
for
these
you
cannot
call
Heretickes
,
if
they
will
yeeld
vnto
wholsome
doctrine
,
and
doe
not
with
obstinate
mindes
,
maintaine
their
damnable
opinions
,
so
that
in
an
Hereticke
three
things
concurre
.
First
,
he
is
a
professor
of
Christian
religion
.
Secondly
,
he
is
an
obstinate
defender
of
his
opinion
.
Lastly
,
his
opinion
is
,
repugnant
to
the
fundamentall
points
of
our
Christian
faith
.
And
least
any
man
should
thinke
this
to
be
a
small
matter
,
let
him
note
that
an
Heretick
is
worse
than
a
murtherer
,
by
how
much
the
soule
is
more
noble
than
the
body
,
for
hee
is
a
killer
,
and
a
destroyer
of
the
soules
of
men
;
hee
is
worse
than
an
Infidell
,
for
as
one
of
the
Fathers
obserueth
,
he
is
desertor
fidei
&
oppugnator
eius
,
a
forsaker
of
the
faith
,
and
an
oppugner
of
it
,
which
an
Infidell
cannot
be
,
for
he
may
bee
oppugnator
eius
,
a
resister
of
it
,
but
he
cannot
be
desertor
,
a
forsaker
of
it
,
because
he
neuer
had
it
.
In
a
word
,
hee
is
worse
than
a
Schismaticke
,
because
whereas
the
Schismaticke
quatenùs
,
a
Schismaticke
breakes
onely
the
bond
of
loue
,
whereby
wee
are
tied
one
to
another
,
the
Hereticke
cuts
the
very
throate
of
faith
,
wherewith
we
are
vnited
to
God
himselfe
.
Iudas

gaue

of
himselfe

if
he
were

Comforter
promised
by
our
Sauiour
,
&
those
two
lewd
women

Prophetesses

and
Maximilla

.
Paulus
Samosatenus
,
who
denied
Christ
to
be
the
naturall
Sonne
of
God
,
was
stricken
in
his
body
with
a
contagious
Leprosie
,
he
was
excommunicated
in
all
Churches
,
and
in
the
end
depriued
of

vsurped

and
there
to
consult
together
for
the
propagation
of
their
heresie
,
the
Lord
by
a
fearefull
Earth-quake
ouerthrow
the
Towne
to
preuent
their
meeting
.
Therefore
let
vs
feare
to
fall
into
any
heresie
,
lest
the
Lord
be
as
angry
with
vs
,
as
he
was
with
them
,
knowing
that
if
we
turne
our
faces
against
the
fundamentall
points
of
Christian
beleefe
,
we
are
worse
than
murtherers
,
we
are
worse
than
Infidells
,
we
are
worse
than
Schismaticks
,
Gods
plagues
hang
ouer
our
heads
in
this
life
,
and
eternall
damnation
in
the
life
to
come
.
The
Lord
doth
hate
,
and
therefore
take
reuenge
on
the
very
places
of
hereticall
conuenticles
;
a
late
experience
we
had
in
the
ruines
of
certaine
roomes
of
a
house
in
this
Citie
,
The
second
sort
wee
call
Schismatiques

Schismatickes
are

the
difference
betweene
Heretickes
and
Schismatickes
,
St.
Augustine
wi●l
haue
to
bee
,
Quod
illi
falsis
d●gmatibus
,
fidei
sinceritatem
corrumpant
;
hi
autem
interdum
etiam
in
fidei
similitudine
,
societatis
vinculum
disrumpant
:
that
Hereticks
with
false
doctrine
,
doe
corrupt
the
sincerity
of
the
faith
,
but
Schismatickes
sometimes
euen
in
the
similitude
of
faith
,
doe
breake
asunder
the
bond
of
loue
.
Whereby
it
is
plaine
,
that
the
properties
of
a
Schismaticke
are
these
two
;
first
,
hee
must
make
profession
of
the
faith
;
secondly
,
he
must
deuide
himselfe
from
the
body
of
the
Church
;
and
it
skills
not
whether
for
some
point
of
doctrine
,
or
for
Ceremonies
or
any
other
thing
with
which
hee
is
discontented
:
the
matter
is
,
hee
deuideth
himselfe
from
the
Church
,
and
is
therefore
a
Schismaticke
.
Vpon
this
reason
was
Lucifer
,
Bishop
of
Calaris
in
Sardinia
,
iustly
taken
and
reputed
as
a
Schismaticke
,
for
that
hee
deuided
himselfe
from
Eusebius
B.
of
Vercellis

and
from
the
Church
of
Antiochia
,
for
that
they
disapproued
the
ordination
of
Paulinus
,
whom
hee
had
ordained
to
be
Bishop
there
.
A
man
would
thinke
it
a
small
matter
to
bee
discontented
,
and
therfore
to
be
deuided
for
such
a
trifle
:
but
it
is
that
which
St.
Paul
blameth
among
the
Corinthians
,
where
there
is
among
you
enuying
,
&
strife
&
deuisions
,
are
yee
not
carnall
,
and
walke
as
men
?
if
carnall
,
For
to
bee
carnally
minded
is
death
:
but
to
be
spiritually
minded
,
is
life
and
peace
.
If
I
dissemble
not
with
you
,
or
goe
about
to
deceiue
you
,
I
must
needs
conclude
,
with
a
learned
Diuine
,
Corah
,
Dathan
,
and
Abiram
,
1.
I
beseech
you
brethren
.
Vnto
whom
he
writeth
his
Epistle
,
them
he
saluteth
by
the
name
of
Brethren
.
These
were
not
the
Elders
or
Rulers
of
the
Church
onely
,
but
euery
one
who
being
called
to
the
knowledge
of
the
truth
,
made
profession
of
the
blessed
name
of
Iesus
:
To
these
he
dedicated
his
Epistle
,
To
all
that
be
in
Rome
,
beloued
of
God
,
called
to
be
Saints
,
and
all
these
hee
here
styleth
by
the
name
of
Brethren
.
This
is
done
vpon
a
double
reason
;
first
,
we
haue
all
one
common
Father
,
which
is
God
.
One
is
your
Father
Which
is
in
heauen
.
As
many
as
receiued
him
,
to
them
gaue
he
power
to
be
the
sonnes
of
God
,
and
we
are
adopted
to
bee
the
heires
of
God
,
and
ioynt
heires
with
Christ
,
it
is
therefore
no
indignitie
to
the
person
of
the
Apostle
,
to
salute
the
meanest
Christian
by
the
name
of
Brother
;
and
account
him
so
to
be
,
for
hee
is
redeemed
by
the
same
price
,
and
bought
with
the
same
blood
,
he
is
the
adopted
sonne
to
the
same
Father
,
and
hath
the
same
inheritance
.
Why
then
should
not
the
Apostle
receiue
him
and
repute
him
as
a
brother
?
O
yee
that
aduance
your selues
aboue
your
brethren
(
and
because
yee
haue
place
,
either
in
the
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
or
gifts
more
excellent
than
your
brethren
haue
,
presumptuously
thanke
God
with
the
foolish
proud
Pharisee
in
the
Gospell
,
that
you
are
not
as
Other
men
are
)
come
hither
and
learne
humilitie
,
A
chosen
vessell
vnto
God
:
As
great
a
man
as
the
greatest
of
you
all
,
An
Apostle
of
Iesus
Christ
,
And
let

proud
Commander
of

the
head
of
the
Church
,
the
Ruler
of
both
the
Swords
,
the
high
Conveener
of
Councells
,
who
dareth
to
haue
it
affirmed
,
that
the
whole
world
is
his
Diocesse
,
that
hee
hath
all
power
both
in
heauen
and
in
earth
,
that
hee
cannot
bee
iudged
by
all
the
Cleargie
,
nor
by
all
the
people
,
that
all
Kings
and
Emperours
haue
all
their
power
&
authority
from
him
,
that
he
is
seuenty
times
seuen
times
greater
than
the
greatest
Kings
,
that
his
power
is
more
ample
than
all
other
Patriarkes
,
that
hee
is
the
Lord
God
,
no
pure
man
,
but
something
made
and
compounded
of
God
and
man
,
who
is
wont
to
command
Purgatorie
,
and
the
fire
of
hell
,
and
to
send
the
blessed
Angels
to
fetch
bring
,
deliuer
,
and
carry
soules
out
of
Purgatory
into
heauen
(
with
as
good
discretion
as
sometimes
King
Xerxes
commanded
the
great
Mount
Athos
in
Macedonia
,
to
stand
still
,
and
not
to
stirre
one
foote
out
of
his
place
,
and
to
cause
no
trouble
vnto
him
or
his
Army
,
vpon
paine
of
his
high
displeasure
.
)
Let
him
learne
humilitie
well
suiting
with
Apostolicall
sanctity
;
let
him
stoope
to
the
meanest
Christian
as
to
his
brother
,
let
him
note
but
the
Apostles
spirit
,
who
though
as
an
Apostle
hee
might
command
them
,
yet
doth
he
beseech
them
as
his
brethren
rather
choosing
to
preuaile
by
loue
than
rigour
,
And
there
are
two
reasons
why
the
Apostle
doth
rather
intreate
then
command
.
First
,
he
is
ardently
zealous
,
the
greatnesse
of
the
cause
moued
him
to
be
so
.
For
what
is
the
danger
?
the
publike
scandall
of
that
blessed
name
by
which
we
are
redeemed
;
the
propagation
of
the
Gospell
hindred
,
those
that
giue
care
to
the
inchantments
of
these
Syrens
seduced
,
and
their
soules
destroyed
,
the
more
the
danger
is
to
be
feared
,
the
more
ardent
is
his
obsecration
,
I
beseech
you
brethren
.
Secondly
,
it
is
more
suitable
to
the
nature
of
a
brother
,
to
bee
requested
,
then
commanded
by
a
brother
:
the
faithfull
hee
will
set
free
from
their
Schoole-master
,
vt
precibus
flecti
possint
,
to
bow
them
,
and
bend
them
to
their
duties
with
his
earnest
suite
,
I
beseech
you
brethren
.
I
beseech
you
brethren
by
the
mercy
of
God
,
that
yee
present
your
bodies
a
liuing
sacrifice
.
I
beseech
you
brethren
,
for
the
Lord
Iesus
Christ
his
sake
,
and
for
the
loue
of
the
Spirit
,
that
yee
striue
together
with
mee
,
in
your
Prayers
to
God
for
me
.
I
beseech
you
brethren
marke
them
which
cause
diuisions
and
offences
.
And
from
his
humble
Introduction
,
hee
proceeds
to
his
learned
description
,
which
is
the
second
thing
that
I
obserued
in
the
first
part
.
He
inditeth
them
of
two
capitall
crimes
,
Diuisions
and
offences
by
them
caused
;
which
how
o
〈…〉ous
and
insufferable
they
are
,
lay
but
against
them
saith
he
,
the
doctrine
which
yee
haue
learned
,
and
yee
shall
easily
perceiue
;
for
Contraria
iuxta
se
posita
magis
illucescunt
,
Contraries
layed
one
against
another
doe
appeare
more
plainely
and
are
more
easie
to
be
discerned
,
now
these
are
contraries
,
therefore
you
must
compare
them
,
and
see
how
bad
the
one
is
by
the
goodnesse
of
the
other
.
(
Deuisions
)
the
word
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
which
signifieth
discord
,
or
disagreeing
,
and
it
is
here
properly
referred
to
opinions
,
so
that
it
must
necessarily
implie
sects
,
and
devisions
in
Religion
,
divers
doctrines
,
contrary
to
the
truth
of
Christ
for
so
the
text
expounds
it selfe
.
The
diuell
was
the
first
deuider
,
for
when
God
had
ioyned
all
things
together
in
the
best
order
,
his
studie
was
to
separate
that
which
God
had
vnited
.
Hee
first
caused
a
faction
among
the
Angells
in
heauen
,
and
with
those
whom
he
found
to
adhere
to
his
part
,
he
left
his
habitation
.
Hee
stirred
vp
Schisme
,
Adam
,
Of
the
tree
of
Knowledge
of
Good
and
Euill
;
thou
shalt
not
eate
of
it
;
for
in
the
day
that
thou
eatest
thereof
,
thou
shalt
surely
die
.
Or
(
as
it
is
in
the
Hebrew
)
dying
thou
shalt
die
.
Contrary
to
this
the
diuell
preached
,
Yee
shall
not
surely
die
:
for
God
doth
know
that
in
the
day
yee
eate
thereof
,
then
your
eyes
shall
bee
opened
,
and
yee
shall
be
as
Gods
,
knowing
good
and
Eu●ll
.
In
the
persons
of
Cain
and
Abell
,
he
deuided
the
brother
from
the
brother
.
He
was
the
first
that
brought
in
that
ancient
destinction
the
sonnes
of
God
,
and
the
sonnes
of
men
.
By
his
studie
he
is
a
deuider
,
and
therefore
properly
called
in
our
English
tongue
the
diuell
,
from
the
word
Diuello
,
which
signifieth
to
vnioyne
or
pull
in
sunder
;
for
hee
is
alwayes
labouring
to
dissolue
that
which
God
hath
ioyned
.
And
hence
it
is
,
that
when
a
Schisme
was
made
in
old
time
in
the
Church
,
they
had
wont
to
call
the
author
of
it
the
diuells
sonne
.
Paul
called
Elymas
the
Sorcerer
;
childe
of
the
diuell
,
St.
Iohn
being
at
Ephesus
bathing
his
body
in
a
Bath
,
in
which
Cerinthus
the
Hereticke
was
also
bathing
,
fled
away
,
as
if
the
diuell
had
beene
there
,
because
Cerinthus
the
diuells
sonne
was
there
.
And
when
Marcion
the
Hereticke
meeting
Polycarpus
,
said
vnto
him
,
Cognoscenos
:
pray
know
vs
,
take
notice
and
acquaintance
of
vs
:
Polycarpe
made
him
this
answer
,
Cognosco
te
primogenitum
Satanae
.
Yes
,
I
take
notice
of
thee
,
and
I
know
thee
well
enough
,
thou
art
the
diuells
eldest
sonne
.
Vpon
this
Irenaeus
maketh
this
graue
conclusion
.
primogeniti
Satanae
,
the
diuells
eldest
sonnes
,
and
heires
apparant
to
his
kingdome
.
(
Offences
.
)
The
word
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
that
is
to
say
,
any
manner
of
things
whereat
a
man
stumbleth
and
taketh
harme
;
as
stones
or
blocks
cast
in
our
brothers
way
,
occasions
of
sinne
,
and
such
like
.
These
are
caused
either
Dictis
or
factis
,
by
their
wicked
doctrine
,
or
by
their
lewd
liues
,
and
indeed
those
that
cause
deuisions
,
cannot
choose
but
cause
offences
,
vpon
the
same
reason
,
because
they
cause
deuisions
;
and
therefore
the
Apostle
saith
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
.
Diuisions
and
offences
;
because
the
one
is
bred
by
the
other
,
as
the
fruite
is
nourished
by
the
tree
;
or
rather
false
doctrine
and
schisme
,
is
the
vegetatiue
power
of
offences
.
It
is
true
,
that
there
is
sometimes
Scandalum
acceptum
,
where
there
is
not
Scandalum
datum
;
an
offence
taken
,
where
there
is
no
offence
giuen
,
as
it
is
like
that
a
blinde
man
may
stumble
,
and
fall
in
a
plaine
foote-path
,
where
there
is
nothing
layed
in
his
way
.
But
we
are
now
disputing
De
dato
scandalo
,
of
offences
giuen
,
and
of
those
that
lay
blockes
,
and
cast
stumbling
stones
in
the
way
to
ouerthrow
their
brethren
,
contrary
to
Christian
charitie
,
and
Christs
commandement
,
who
hath
commanded
vs
to
loue
one
another
,
as
hee
hath
loued
vs
,
and
contrary
to
the
Apostles
rule
,
that
wee
should
consider
one
another
,
to
prouoke
vnto
loue
,
and
to
good
workes
.
They
will
turne
away
thy
sonnes
from
following
mee
,
that
they
may
serue
other
Gods
.
Our
Sauiour
Christ
saith
,
Woe
vnto
the
world
because
of
offences
:
it
must
needs
be
that
offences
come
:
but
woe
to
that
man
,
by
whom
the
offence
commeth
.
And
woe
to
him
to
whom
our
Sauiour
Christ
saith
,
It
were
better
for
him
that
a
milstone
were
hanged
about
his
necke
,
and
that
hee
were
drowned
in
the
depth
of
the
Sea
.
But
for
what
cause
is
a
woe
so
grieuous
pronounced
against
him
that
causeth
offences
?
St.
Paul
giues
the
reason
,
By
this
m●ane●
shall
the
weake
brother
perish
,
for
whom
Christ
dyed
:
when
yee
sinne
so
against
the
brethren
,
and
wound
their
weake
conscience
,
yee
sinne
against
Christ
.
For
Gods
loue
take
this
to
heart
,
yee
of
vncircumcised
hearts
and
eares
,
who
neuer
diue
into
the
reckoning
of
it
,
what
it
is
to
wound
the
weake
consciences
of
your
brethren
:
and
I
speake
not
to
those
onely
that
maketh
deuisions
in
our
Church
,
either
in
matter
of
Doctrine
or
of
Ceremonie
;
(
if
there
be
any
such
that
heare
me
this
day
.
)
But
to
you
that
offend
your
brethren
by
your
euill
liues
,
either
in
the
abuse
of
Christian
liberty
to
your
lusts
,
as
drinking
to
drunkennesse
:
dressing
to
pride
:
sparing
to
couetousnesse
;
eating
to
gluttony
,
or
such
like
:
whereby
that
which
is
lawfull
,
is
vsed
vnlawfully
,
or
else
by
doing
that
which
is
absolutely
vnlawfull
,
as
Whore-mongers
,
Theeues
,
Vsurers
,
Lyers
,
sweaters
,
and
such
like
.
You
wound
the
weake
consciences
of
your
brethren
;
ye
cause
your
weake
brethren
to
perish
for
whom
Christ
died
:
repent
and
amend
your
liues
,
or
let
me
tell
you
,
that
yee
your selues
will
say
hereafter
,
that
it
were
better
if
that
a
milstone
had
beene
hanged
about
your
neckes
,
and
that
you
had
beene
cast
into
the
depth
of
the
Sea
.
For
though
it
be
necessarie
that
offences
should
come
,
yet
woe
be
vnto
you
by
whom
they
come
.
I
must
now
demonstrate
this
impiety
a
Contrario
,
as
it
were
by
laying
white
against
blacke
,
to
discerne
the
colours
.
Contrary
to
the
doctrine
which
ye
haue
learned
.
This
is
the
touch-stone
,
at
which
all
deuisions
&
offences
must
be
tryed
:
by
this
we
must
try
the
spirits
,
whether
they
be
of
God
.
He
had
taught
them
the
high
and
profound
mysterie
of
Christian
religion
by
authority
of
the
Scriptures
:
now
he
condemnes
not
simply
all
deuisions
,
&
all
offences
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
with
respect
and
relation
,
those
onely
that
are
contrary
to
Gods
word
,
and
the
proportion
of
faith
and
manners
,
which
was
that
doctrine
which
they
had
learned
at
his
mouth
.
We
must
deuide
our selues
from
all
Iewes
,
Turkes
,
Papists
,
Infidells
and
Hereticks
;
as
the
Israelites
were
deuided
from
the
abominations
of
Aegipt
;
and
if
wee
cause
offences
to
them
,
as
Lot
to
the
Sodomites
,
and
the
faithfull
of
the
primitiue
Church
to
the
Idolatrous
Gentiles
,
by
the
synceritie
of
our
Religion
,
and
our
good
conuersation
wee
sinne
not
,
for
this
is
bonum
Schisma
,
and
bonum
Scandalum
,
a
good
Schisme
,
and
a
good
scandall
,
which
Christ
himselfe
made
,
or
rather
which
hee
professed
to
make
▪
I
am
come
to
set
a
man
against
his
Father
,
and
the
daughter
against
her
mother
,
and
the
daughter
in
law
against
her
mother
in
law
,
And
a
mans
foes
,
shall
bee
they
of
his
owne
houshold
.
But
the
vnlawfull
deuisions
and
offences
,
are
those
that
are
made
contrary
to
the
Apostolicall
doctrine
,
the
blessed
word
of
God
.
Ex
illo
(
saith
one
of
the
learned
Fathers
)
fidem
alimus
:
ex
illo
spemerigimus
:
ex
illo
fiduciam
firmamus
:
thereby
wee
feed
our
faith
,
thereby
wee
aduance
our
hope
,
this
is
the
power
of
God
vnto
saluation
to
all
those
that
beleeue
;
this
is
able
to
make
vs
wise
vnto
saluation
through
faith
which
is
in
Christ
Iesus
,
and
therefore
though
we
,
or
an
Angell
from
heauen
,
preach
any
ether
Gospell
vnto
you
,
then
that
which
wee
haue
preached
vnto
you
,
let
him
be
accursed
(
saith
Paul
)
but
those
that
doe
so
,
let
vs
now
see
,
Wee
must
marke
them
,
and
avoide
them
,
(
Marke
them
)
the
word
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
signifieth
,
that
wee
must
bee
like
vnto
those
that
sit
vpon
watch
Towers
to
obserue
the
comming
of
the
enemie
.
For
they
that
cause
deuisions
and
offences
,
are
the
common
enemies
of
the
Church
of
God
,
and
they
come
to
destroy
our
soules
,
and
therefore
we
ought
to
be
most
carefull
to
marke
them
.
Secondly
,
they
come
with
all
policie
and
subtilty
,
and
bring
in
their
damnable
heresies
priuily
;
and
therefore
we
ought
neuer
to
bee
absent
from
our
watch-tower
,
but
to
haue
an
eye
vnto
them
continually
,
left
they
come
vpon
vs
vnawares
,
and
suddenly
destroy
vs
,
and
as
this
is
generally
the
dutie
of
all
men
,
vpon
this
reason
,
that
euery
man
hath
a
soule
,
which
is
his
best
part
,
and
the
choysest
thing
that
hee
possesseth
,
for
what
is
a
man
profited
,
if
hee
shall
gaine
the
whole
world
,
and
lose
his
owne
soule
?
or
what
shall
a
man
giue
in
exchange
for
his
soule
?
So
more
especially
it
is
the
dutie
of
those
that
are
in
authoritie
,
either
in
the
Church
or
Common-wealth
,
vpon
this
reason
,
that
in
the
Scriptures
they
are
called
Watch-men
,
for
how
doe
they
watch
,
rauening
Wolues
?
And
against
whom
doe
they
watch
,
Therefore
let
euery
man
in
generall
marke
them
,
as
they
desire
the
saluation
of
their
owne
soules
,
but
more
especially
the
Magistrates
according
to
their
places
,
as
they
will
answer
for
the
soules
of
those
that
shall
be
seduced
.
Whom
in
the
name
of
Christ
I
doe
beseech
to
be
carefull
of
it
.
Let
them
marke
them
by
making
them
knowne
vnto
Gods
people
in
their
colours
,
as
Paul
marked
Hymenaeus
and
Philetus
,
and
Alexander
the
Copper-smith
:
as
St.
Iohn
marked
Diotrephes
:
and
our
Sauiour
Christ
the
Scribes
,
Take
heed
and
beware
of
the
leauen
of
the
Pharisees
,
and
of
the
Saduces
.
Let
them
admonish
the
people
to
take
heed
of
the
leauen
of
Iesuites
,
Anabaptists
,
Brownists
,
and
all
deuiders
and
offenders
whatsoeuer
,
and
let
them
marke
them
to
restraine
their
madnesse
.
Excellently
St.
Augustine
in
his
Epistle
to
Donatus
,
A
second
dutie
subordinate
to
this
our
watching
is
the
auoiding
of
them
;
for
if
we
marke
them
,
wee
may
auoide
them
,
but
if
wee
marke
them
not
,
wee
cannot
auoide
them
,
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
bee
gone
from
them
,
and
shunne
them
,
as
men
are
wont
to
runne
away
from
noxious
beastes
.
Iohn
,
If
there
come
any
vnto
you
,
and
bring
not
this
doctrine
,
receiue
him
not
into
your
house
,
neither
bid
him
God
speed
.
And
now
I
come
to
shew
the
cause
or
reason
hereof
which
is
the
second
part
of
my
text
.
Secondly
,
of
the
Narration
or
Exposition
of
the
cause
or
reason
.
and
therein
,
first
of
the
scope
of
their
profession
.
Mat.
10.40
.
Luk.
10.16
.
They
that
are
such
,
serue
not
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
but
their
owne
belly
.
Those
that
serue
Christ
,
especially
in
the
worke
of
the
ministry
,
wee
are
commanded
to
receiue
:
it
is
our
Sauiours
doctrine
;
Hee
that
receiueth
you
receiueth
me
.
Hee
that
heareth
you
,
heareth
me
,
and
hee
that
despiseth
you
,
despiseth
me
.
By
the
rule
of
contraries
,
he
that
receiueth
those
that
serue
not
Christ
,
in
the
worke
of
the
ministry
,
hee
receiueth
not
Christ
,
but
them
and
him
whose
workes
they
doe
,
that
is
the
diuell
:
here
then
is
the
matter
or
first
cause
whereupon
we
are
not
to
receiue
them
;
nay
,
we
must
marke
them
,
nay
,
we
must
auoide
them
,
they
serue
the
diuell
,
He
that
receiueth
them
,
receiueth
the
diuell
:
he
that
markes
them
not
,
markes
not
the
diuell
:
he
that
auoideth
them
not
,
auoides
not
the
diuell
.
A
roaring
Lyon
who
would
meete
him
?
but
how
mad
is
hee
that
will
receiue
him
into
his
society
,
to
be
familiar
with
him
?
In
three
things
those
that
cause
deuisions
,
and
by
deuisions
offences
in
the
Church
of
God
,
haue
relinquished
the
seruice
of
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
.
First
,
because
all
such
are
most
notorious
hypocrites
;
for
as
the
Serpent
called
Drynas
,
is

,
who
maintained
the
opinion
of
the

,
would
yet
as
Epiphanius
saith
,
bee
reputed
a
Christian
.
This
they
haue
learned
of
the
diuell
,
who
to
deceiue
is
transformed
into
an
Angell
of
light
.
whom
they
make
twofold
the
children
of
hell
,
more
than
they
themselues
are

,
they
are

cruell

,

All

shall
witnesse

that

tyrannous
persecutions
which
haue
beene

those

it
is
to
be

,
that

hath
the
like
will
,
though
not
the
like
power
.
Lastly
,
their
end
is
,
that
they
may
walke
according
to
the
flesh
;
and
therefore
though
they
pretend
much
strictnesse
,
and
reformation
of
life
and
manners
,
by
chastening
the
body
,
as
it
were
to
subdue
it
to
the
spirit
,
it
is
but
subordinate
to
some
fleshly
end
;
for
they
turne
the
grace
of
our
God
into
laciuiousnesse
.
Lord
Iesus
Christ
,
and
serue
their
owne
belly
.
Quid

abhominable

Where
we
note
that
the
(
Belly
)
in
the
Scriptures
is
taken
in
a
double
sense
;
properly
,
or
figuratiuely
in
its
proper
sense
,
it
signifieth
the
belly
of
man
or
woman
,
as
where
we
reade
that
Phinchas
the
sonne
of
Eleazar
the
sonne
of
Aaron
the
Priest
,
thou
st
Zimry
the
man
of
Israel
,
Midianitish
woman
,
with
his
Iauelin
through
her
belly
:
in
its
figuratiue
sense
,
it
is
taken
sometimes
for
the
heart
,
by
the
figure
called
Synecdoche
,
When
I
heard
,
my
belly
trembled
;
that
is
to
say
,
Commetum
est
cor
meum
quod
est
in
ventre
:
my
heart
in
my
belly
was
moued
,
sometimes
it
signifieth
the
body
of
man
;
Of
the
fruite
of
thy
belly
,
will
I
set
vpon
thy
throne
.
Sometimes
it
signifieth
particularly
the
wombe
;
Thou
art
my
God
,
from
my
mothers
belly
.
Somtimes
it
signifieth
a
drunkard
,
a
gluttonous
person
,
and
one
that
is
profuse
and
lauish
,
vpon
his
owne
Lusts
.
So
Paul
calleth
the
Cretians
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
slowe
bellies
.
Sometimes
it
is
taken
for
all
worldly
things
,
especially
those
that
conduce
to
the
present
maintenance
of
life
;
and
in
this
sense
the
Apostle
saith
of
such
kinde
of
people
as
those
,
concerning
whom
wee
now
speake
,
their
god
is
their
belly
;
Magister
artis
ingenique
Largitor
venter
,
See
here
the
meaning
of
that
place
,
they
cause
not
Deuisions
and
offences
,
contrary
to
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
,
for
any
care
or
conscience
to
serue
God
,
but
to
serue
their
belly
,
in
acquiring
the
things
of
this
life
.
And
this
is
an
especiall
marke
of
infamie
,
with
which
they
are
alwayes
branded
in
the
Scriptures
.
they
teach
things
which
they
ought
not
,
for
filthy
lucres
sake
.
The
Apostle
Peter
saith
,
through
couetousnesse
,
shall
they
with
feigned
words
,
make
merchandize
of
you
.
And
the
Apostle
Iude
saith
,
they
runne
greedily
,
after
the
errour
of
Balaam
for
reward
.
This
being
their
aime
,
we
need
not
seeke
the
cause
,
why
those
of
the
Romish
Church
,
so
obstinately
maintaine
their
masses
,
Indulgencies
,
Pardons
,
and
such
like
Satanicall
sigments
,
for
(
because
they
are
separated
from
the
Congregation
of
the
Lord
)
it
cannot
bee
,
but
their
studie
is
to
serue
their
belly
.
Againe
,
this
being
their
aime
,
wee
need
not
wonder
if
in
this
flourishing
Church
of
England
,
and
as
it
were
in
the
noone-tyde
of
the
Gospell
,
as
well
the
doctrine
,
as
the
discipline
of
the
Church
,
being
agreed
vpon
in
publique
conuocation
,
by
the
learned
and
religious
of
the
Land
,
and
authorised
by
law
,
you
haue
yet
many
among
you
,
who
willingly
would
(
and
doe
as
farre
as
they
dare
)
alter
the
forme
of
our
publike
Church-Seruice
,
and
Ceremonies
:
and
feigne
would
innouate
something
,
either
in
respect
of
substance
or
of
circumstance
,
and
if
you
haue
Sects
of
Anabaptists
,
Brownists
,
Papists
,
Familists
,
Catharists
,
and
those
who
mislike
all
things
but
their
owne
inuentions
.
For
what
wonder
shall
I
bring
▪
if
that
I
tell
you
,
that
it
is
possible
there
may
be
couetous
men
among
vs
?
For
,
the
loue
of
money
is
the
roote
of
all
euill
,
which
while
some
coueted
after
,
they
haue
erred
from
the
faith
,
and
pierced
themselues
through
with
many
sorrowes
.
Now
because
these
Leopards
doe
hide
their
clawes
,
and
sometimes
vnder
the
profession
of
voluntary
pouertie
doe
practice
couetousnesse
,
the
Apostle
will
therefore
shew
you
wherein
they
hide
them
,
lest
because
you
see
them
not
,
you
may
thinke
them
to
haue
none
:
and
so
like
children
,
play
too
familiarly

wrested
,
and
turned
to
contrary
expositions
and
interpretations
,
for
the
maintenance
of
priuate
opinions
and
absurdities
.
It
is
most
blasphemous
to
say
,
that
the
Scripture
is
so
,
and
yet
St.
Peter
takes
it
for
granted
,
Prophets
shall
come
in
sheepes
cloathing
to
deceiue
,
therefore
it
doth
follow
,
that
they
shall
bring
nothing
more
than
the
Scripture
in
their
mouthes
,
which
they
haue
wrested
to
their
owne
damnation
.
A
thing
which
the
diuell
himselfe
hath
taught
them
,
who
when
hee
tempted
our
Sauiour
Christ
in
the
Wildernesse
,
could
yet
cite
the
Scripture
to
his
purpose
.
If
thou
be
the
Sonne
of
God
,
cast
thy selfe
downe
,
for
it
is
written
,
hee
shall
giue
his
Angells
charge
concerning
thee
,
and
in
their
hands
they
shall
beare
thee
vp
,
least
at
any
time
thou
dash
thy
foote
against
a
stone
.
These
are
those
good
words
the
Apostle
speaketh
of
,
with
which
the
mouthes
of
all
those
that
cause
deuisions
are
stufft
;
With
these
good
words
so
ill
implyed
,
will
the
Valentinians
goe
about
to
establish
their
30.
couple
of
Gods
and
Goddesses
:
The
Manichees
their
duo
Principia
,
or
brace
of
gods
:
the
Arians
to
denie
the
true
diuinitie
of
Christ
:
the
Papists
their
Purgatorie
,
their
Transubstantiation
,
and
all
the
parts
of
their
Masse
:
and
euery
new
deuiser
his
owne
brain-sicke
Fopperies
:
therefore
as
good
coyners
are
not
wont
hastily
to
receiue
,
and
to
approue
of
euery
peece
of
gold
,
but
will
first
trie
it
,
and
proue
it
by
the
touchstone
(
especially
if
it
be
an
vnknowne
coyne
.
)
So
if
any
man
bring
vnto
vs
any
newes
in
matters
of
religion
,
and
will
thrust
it
vpon
vs
for
gold
,
in
the
name
of
the
Scripture
,
as
good
coyners
wee
must
bring
it
to
the
Scripture
,
and
compare
Scripture
with
Scripture
,
that
so
wee
may
iudiciously
discerne
and
see
Quis
nummus
probus
sit
,
quis
adulter
,
which
is
good
coyne
,
which
is
Copper
.
And
the
reason
is
,
because
it
is
the
practice
of
those
that
serue
their
belly
,
to
come
with
good
words
,
euen
with
the
most
blessed
words
of
the
Scripture
in
their
mouthes
,
like
as
the
Hiaena
is
wont
to
counterfeit
a
mans
voyce
to
obtaine
his
prey
.
(
Faire
speeches
.
)
I
referre
to
their
moralitie
,
by
which
they
striue
to
be
compleate
euery
way
.
For
it
is
the
condition
of
an
hypocrite
,
to
counterfeit
vertue
;
for
Hypocrisie
it selfe
as
Chrysologus
in
one
of
his
Sermons
obserueth
,
is
virtutum
fucus
,
It
is
true
,
we
cannot
say
these
men
to
be
vertuous
,
notwithstanding
these
great
workes
,
for
because
their
good
deeds
are
directed
to
a
wrong
end
,
they
are
but
Vmbrae
&
simulachra
virtutum
,
the
shadowes
,
pictures
,
without
which
it
is
impossible
to
please
God
.
Yet
is
it
to
bee
feared
,
that
our
high
calling
in
Christ
Iesus
,
doth
hence
receiue
a
most
bloody
stabbe
,
for
that
the
generall
sort
among
vs
,
want
those
faire
speeches
,
and
that
morality
of
life
,
of
which
our
Aduersaries
brag
,
and
with
which
they
doe
deceiue
.
Want
it
did
I
say
?
nay
,
abound
in
the
contrary
;
the
Bribery
of
Courtiers
,
the
loosenesse
of
Cleargie
men
,
the
infidelitie
of
Lawyers
,
the
prodigalitie
of
Gentlemen
,
the
deformed
pride
of
Ladyes
,
the
poling
avariciousnesse
of
Citizens
,
and
in
this
land
of
ours
,
Quicquid
vidit

,
aut

,
Therefore
as
the
third
persecution
of
the
Emperour
Traiane
,
raised
against
the
Church
of
Christ
,
was
counted
greater
than
the
two
former
,
moued
by
Nero
and
Domitian
,
vpon
this
reason
,
that
contempt
and
shame
was
added
to
their
afflictions
;
for
it
was
no
great
dishonour
to
be
hated
by
Nero
and
Domitian
,
wicked
men
,
and
haters
of
righteousnesse
,
but
to
be
hated
and
persecuted
by
Traiane
,
a
man
accounted
a
patterne
of
vpright
dealing
,
this
was
a
great
rebuke
.
In
like
manner
,
if
in
the
eyes
of
the
world
they
liue
more
syncerely
than
a
great
many
of
vs
,
and
seeme
to
make
conscience
of
their
wayes
(
which
is
incident
to
all
deceiuers
)
they
shall
with
their
good
words
,
and
faire
speches
,
preuaile
(
with
lesse
exception
against
them
)
to
pull
downe
the
truth
,
than
we
to
set
it
vp
:
and
like
as
the
fish
are
carried
in
the
pleasant
streames
of
Iordane
,
sporting
and
floating
,
till
they
fall
into
the
dead
Sea
,
where
by
and
by
they
perish
:
so
in
the
sweete
streames
of
their
good
words
and
faire
speeches
,
doe
they
carry
their
disciples
(
as
it
were
sporting
and
floating
in
a
pleasant
course
)
till
on
the
sudden
they
fall
to
their
owne
destruction
.
This
is
added
by
the
Apostle
in
the
last
place
,
and
is
the
effect
produced
,
a
most
lamentable
shipwracke
both
of
soule
and
body
,
the
heart
seduced
.
They
deceiue
the
hearts
of
the
simple
.
Rent
your
heart
,
and
not
your
garments
:
and
turne
to
the
Lord
your
God
.
A
man
looketh
on
the
outward
appearance
,
but
the
Lord
looketh
on
the
heart
.
Vpon
this
reason
they
are
blamed
in
the
Scriptures
,
whose
hearts
are
not
right
with
the
Lord
their
God
:
This
people
drawe
neere
mee
with
their
mouth
,
and
with
their
lippes
doe
honour
me
,
but
haue
remoued
their
heart
farre
from
me
.
This
is
the
chiefe
and
principall
part
of
man
,
if
this
be
lost
,
all
is
gone
,
for
if
the
heart
bee
not
with
the
Lord
,
though
the
tongue
pray
,
the
hands
giue
,
the
knees
bend
,
the
eyes
looke
vp
to
heauen
,
and
all
the
body
doe
its
dutie
,
it
is
but
hypocriticall
seruice
,
because
the
heart
is
not
right
with
the
Lord
.
See
then
,
the
Apostle
describeth
a
most
miserable
shipwracke
,
the
whole
man
cast
away
,
because
the
heart
is
deceiued
.
For
if
God
haue
the
heart
,
hee
will
haue
all
the
rest
,
if
hee
haue
not
the
heart
,
hee
will
haue
none
of
the
rest
:
and
therefore
when
hee
doth
aske
all
,
My
sonne
giue
me
thy
heart
.
But
with
their
good
words
,
and
faire
speeches
,
they
deceiue
the
heart
!
Oh
whither
goes
that
miserable
man
?
Christ
Iesus
,
the
chiefe
corner
stone
.
In
going
from
it
,
he
goes
vnto
the
synagogue
of
Satan
,
the
mother
of
those
that
are
ordained
to
destruction
,
because
not
built
,
or
not
rightly
built
vpon
Christ
Iesus
the
chiefe
corner
stone
.
Hee
goeth
from
Gods
mercy
,
and
all
the
sweete
promises
of
God
in
Christ
Iesus
vnto
life
eternall
,
vnto
Gods
iustice
,
and
the
malediction
of
the
Law
,
to
euerlasting
death
;
hee
relinquisheth
the
society
of
all
the
faithfull
vpon
earth
,
which
is
by
grace
in
this
life
,
and
in
so
doing
hath
no
possibilitie
(
if
hee
continue
vnto
his
last
gaspe
)
to
enioy
the
companie
of
the
blessed
Saints
in
heauen
,
which
is
by
glory
in
the
life
to
come
.
Cyprian
doth
well
affirme
the
Church
to
be
Noahs
Arke
,
without
the
which
there
is
no
saluation
.
My
exhortation
therefore
is
the
very
same
with
the
wisest
of
Kings
,
Keepe
thy
heart
with
all
diligence
;
for
out
of
it
are
the
issues
of
life
.
God
requireth
it
as
his
part
,
that
he
may
saue
thee
;
the
diuell
seekes
to
win
it
,
that
he
may
destroy
thee
;
if
he
can
win
thee
from
the
right
faith
,
hee
will
pull
thee
from
the
Church
,
if
thou
art
drawne
from
that
,
thou
art
withdrawne
from
God
:
therefore
keepe
that
,
and
stoppe
thy
cares
against
the
melodious
tunings
of
these
Syrens
,
be
of
ripe
age
in
vnderstanding
and
if
by
good
words
&
faire
speeches
,
they
preuaile
on
the
simple
,
let
them
not
preuaile
on
thee
.
Thus
haue
you
the
Quid
,
and
doe
see
what
is
seduced
(
the
heart
.
)
Now
come
we
to
the
Cuius
,
that
we
may
see
whose
heart
is
deceiued
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
heart
of
the
simple
,
they
doe
soonest
of
all
lend
their
eares
to
good
words
and
faire
speeches
.
There
is
a
two-fold
metaphoricall
simplicitie
,
the
one
is
opposed
to
learning
,
knowledge
,
and
good
manners
:
&
hence
it
is
that
rude
,
barbarous
,
rustick
,
illiterate
,
and
mannerlesse
people
,
in
the
Scripture
haue
the
name
of
simple
men
.
How
long
yee
simple
ones
,
will
yee
loue
simplicitie
?
the
other
is
opposed
to
craft
,
guile
,
fraud
,
iniustice
,
oppression
,
and
such
like
vices
.
And
hence
it
is
that
plaine
dealing
men
,
voide
of
fraud
and
deceipt
,
Masters
of
their
words
,
morall
honest
men
,
in
the
sight
and
appearance
of
the
world
,
are
called
simple
men
.
So
shall
you
reade
that
Esau
was
a
cunning
hunter
,
a
man
of
the
field
:
and
Iacob
was
a
plaine
man
dwelling
in
tents
:
a
simple
man
,
dwelling
in
tents
:
In
like
manner
,
St.
Paul
saith
in
this
same
chapter
,
I
would
haue
you
wise
vnto
that
which
is
good
,
and
simple
concerning
euill
.
Now
,
these
second
sort
of
simple
ones
are
of
two
sorts
,
Regenerate
,
or
vnregenerate
;
the
Regenerate
may
for
a
time
,
as
it
shall
please
God
to
trie
and
proue
them
,
be
separated
from
the
Church
;
yea
,
in
time
of
persecution
,
they
may
deny
that
blessed
name
by
which
they
are
redeemed
,
there
is
no
condemnation
to
them
that
are
in
Christ
Iesus
,
the
vnregenerate
may
be
deceiued
,
and
deceiued
finally
,
and
by
Gods
iust
iudgement
perish
in
their
sinnes
,
because
they
were
seduced
,
and
opened
their
hearts
to
those
that
caused
deuisions
and
offences
,
and
both
these
sorts
of
simple
ones
,
as
well
the
regenerate
,
as
vnregenerate
,
are
those
that
are
here
noted
to
be
deceiued
,
by
the
good
words
,
and
faire
speeches
of
seducers
.
For
the
words
are
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
words
are
well
translated
by
Theodorus
Beza
,
hominum
minime
malorum
;
that
is
to
say
,
men
not
drowned
and
plunged
in
the
vsuall
sinnes
,
and
vices
of
the
world
.
And
this
may
teach
vs
two
things
.
First
,
that
we
ioyne
not
our selues
to
any
of
those
Sects
,
that
are
deuided
from
our
Church
,
which
is
a
member
of
the
true
Catholike
Church
of
God
,
whether
Papists
,
Anabaptists
,
Brownists
,
Familists
,
or
what
else
you
may
call
them
,
for
that
wee
obserue
many
excellent
Ministers
,
endowed
with
many
rare
and
admirable
gifts
and
qualities
,
to
teach
their
heresies
;
for
such
a
one
was
Arius
the
Hereticke
.
Gloriam
Herostrate
,
such
honour
as
Herostrotus
atchieued
by
firing
the
Ephesians
Temple
.
For
what
if
they
haue
learning
,
wit
,
and
eloquence
?
what
if
in
outward
gifts
they
shine
as
the
Starres
?
The
lesse
ought
we
to
admire
,
if
they
win
to
bee
their
disciples
and
proselites
,
ciuell
honest
men
,
whom
the
world
,
for
the
moralitie
of
their
liues
,
holdeth
in
some
esteeme
;
for
such
were
they
whom
Absolom
,
by
faire
speeches
and
large
promises
,
had
drawne
to
his
part
against
the
King
his
father
,
Againe
,
we
must
not
vncharitaby
iudge
them
to
bee
vtterly
cast
away
,
all
who
decline
from
,
or
leaue
our
societie
,
for
that
the
heart
of
a
regenerate
man
,
may
for
a
time
,
(
God
turning
his
face
from
him
,
that
hee
may
be
troubled
)
bee
deceived
,
but
rather
let
vs
pray
that
their
fall
be
not
finall
,
and
if
it
please
God
of
his
mercy
,
to
send
them
backe
againe
vnto
vs
,
let
vs
not
refuse
them
as
Nouatus
did
,
for
that
they
haue
sinned
so
scandalously
against
our
good
profession
,
to
the
dishonour
of
God
and
of
our
Church
,
I
will
end
here
with
the
words
of
Cyprian
,
Sufficiat
lapsis
vna
ruina
.
&c.
Let
one
fall
bee
sufficient
to
those
that
are
fallen
,
let
no
man
deceitefully
throw
downe
those
that
are
willing
to
rise
vp
againe
:
let
no
man
presse
downe
more
grieuously
,
those
that
already
lye
flat
on
the
earth
,
for
whom
we
pray
that
God
with
his
hand
and
arme
would
helpe
them
vp
;
let
no
man
denie
the
hope
of
life
to
those
that
are
halfe
dead
,
desiring
to
returne
to
their
former
health
.
Nemo
nutantibus
lapsus
sui
Caligine
,
omne
itineris
salutaris
lumen
extinguat
;
And
seeing
that
those
whose
hearts
are
deceiued
are
fallen
downe
,
lie
groueling
on
the
earth
gasping
for
breath
,
and
grappleing
for
life
,
and
being
ready
to
die
,
doe
lie
in
darkenesse
,
and
in
the
shadow
of
death
,
it
followeth
that
those
who
deceiue
their
hearts
,
throw
them
downe
,
stabbe
them
,
and
wound
them
euen
vnto
death
,
therefore
that
I
may
draw
to
a
conclusion
,
I
will
binde
vp
all
that
hitherto
hath
beene
spoken
in
the
words
of
the
text
.
Now
I
beseech
you
,
brethren
,
marke
them
which
cause
deuisions
,
and
offences
,
contrary
to
the
doctrine
which
yee
haue
learned
,
and
auoide
them
.
For
they
that
are
such
,
serue
not
our
Lord
Iesus
Chrest
,
but
their
owne
belly
,
and
by
good
words
,
and
faire
speeches
,
deceiue
the
hearts
of
the
simple
.
And
now
to
recapitulate
what
hath
beene
spoken
,
you
must
remember
,
that
the
enemies
of
the
Church
and
people
of
God
are
of
two
sorts
,
forraine
and
domesticke
,
the
first
are
those
that
make
no
profession
at
all
of
Christianitie
,
neither
will
be
so
reputed
,
as
Iewes
,
Turkes
,
Infidells
,
and
Pagans
,
the
other
are
those
who
make
profession
of
Christian
religion
,
and
will
bee
accounted
Catholicks
and
Christians
,
these
are
of
two
sorts
,
Heretickes
or
Schismatickes
,
the
one
doth
cut
in
sunder
the
band
of
faith
;
the
other
doth
make
a
breach
in
the
knot
of
loue
.
Against
these
St.
Paul
addressing
himselfe
,
beseecheth
all
faithfull
men
as
his
brethren
to
marke
them
,
and
to
auoide
them
,
vpon
this
reason
,
that
they
are
most
dangerous
enemies
to
the
soule
▪
causing
deuisions
and
offences
in
the
Church
,
contrary
to
the
doctrine
of
the
Gospell
.
Now
,
least
this
his
fatherly
counsell
might
be
slighted
,
he
proceedeth
to
shew
the
cause
or
reason
,
vpon
which
wee
are
to
marke
them
,
and
auoide
them
,
viz.
their
aime
is
not
to
serue
God
by
so
doing
,
but
they
haue
worldly
respects
,
tending
to
their
owne
aduantage
,
they
talke
like
Diuines
,
and
demeane
themselues
like
morall
honest
men
,
by
which
meanes
those
that
are
plaine
,
and
meane
well
,
are
soonest
deceiued
,
like
harmelesse
Doues
,
caught
in
the
Fowlers
Net
.
Vpon
which
great
causes
(
that
I
may
end
with
application
)
I
am
bold
to
direct
my
speech
first
to
those
that
are
in
authoritie
,
beare
not
in
vaine
.
Therefore
by
the
power
of
the
sword
committed
to
their
trust
,
may
they
marke
those
that
cause
deuisions
,
and
offences
,
contrary
to
the
doctrine
that
wee
haue
receiued
.
This
doctrine
is
the
truth
of
God
,
Let
mee
beseech
them
to
marke
those
that
cause
deuisions
and
offences
,
contrary
to
that
receiued
doctrine
.
Yet
with
a
iust
distinction
as
well
of
the
persons
of
those
that
cause
deuisions
and
offences
,
(
for
some
are
obstinate
,
and
some
are
tractable
)
as
also
of
the
deuisions
,
and
offences
by
them
caused
and
maintained
;
(
for
of
those
also
,
some
are
damnable
,
some
onely
dangerous
,
and
to
the
honour
of
the
Church
of
God
scandalous
.
)
For
the
better
effecting
of
this
,
let
me
remember
them
further
,
that
the
old
Aegiptians
,
who
were
not
altogether
sottish
in
worldly
matters
,
were
wont
to
paint
their
Iudges
blindfolded
,
and
their
President
or
chiefe
Iustice
without
hands
,
as
intimating
that
Iustice
should
neither
see
the
person
of
any
man
,
or
feele
his
reward
;
which
if
it
be
to
bee
practised
in
matters
temporall
:
how
much
more
in
this
great
matter
,
which
so
neerely
and
meerely
concerneth
the
soules
of
men
?
Secondly
,
let
mee
beseech
the
Ministers
of
the
Word
(
whom
Christ
calleth
for
the
worke
of
their
profession
,
the
labourers
of
his
haruest
;
who
are
the
ministers
of
Christ
,
and
stewards
of
the
mysteries
of
God
.
)
To
looke
backe
vpon
those
forenamed
Articles
,
A
m●n
that
is
an
Hereticke
;
after
the
first
and
second
admonition
,
reiect
.
Where
I
desire
them
to
obserue
that
(
admonition
)
in
that
place
is
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
〈◊〉
,
which
word
pointeth
out
the
end
and
purpose
of
our
trauells
,
rather
than
the
paine
and
labour
of
them
;
namely
,
to
put
a
right
minde
into
him
,
or
to
bring
him
into
his
wittes
againe
.
For
hee
is
madde
,
as
Nazianzen
spake
of
Apollinaris
;
and
as
Eusebius
saith
,
that
Manes
was
madde
,
according
to
his
name
,
therefore
must
wee
labour
to
reduce
him
to
his
right
wits
againe
.
Indeed
to
cure
a
mad-man
,
seemeth
to
bee
a
most
miraculous
thing
,
seeing
how
few
will
bee
reclaymed
.
But
let
vs
not
despaire
,
seeing
that
God
hath
sometimes
blessed
the
labours
of
his
seruants
in
this
kinde
.
Berillus
Bishop
of
Bostra
in
Arabia
,
for
their
prophane
,
and
vaine
babblings
,
will
increase
vnto
more
vngodlinesse
,
and
their
word
will
eate
as
doth
a
Canker
.
Let
vs
haue
no
more
acquaintance
with
them
,
than
the
Iewes
had
with
the
Heathen
men
or
Publicans
,
or
St.
Iohn
with
Cerinthus
.
Let
those
that
haue
authority
in
the
Church
,
after
the
example
of
the
Apostles
,
and
the
godly
Fathers
of
the
prime
age
of
the
Church
,
deliuer
them
to
Sathan
,
that
they
may
learne
not
to
blaspheme
.
gigantum
more
,
bellare
cum
dijs
,
warre
against
God
,
as
the
Poet
feigned
certaine
monstrous
Gyants
to
wage
warre
against
the
gods
.
Let
vs
leaue
to
conuerse
with
them
which
say
they
are
Iewes
,
and
are
not
,
but
are
the
Sinagogue
of
Sathan
.
In
a
word
,
if
wee
cannot
conuert
them
,
let
vs
be
sure
to
auoide
them
,
and
vtterly
to
reiect
them
,
lest
God
say
vnto
vs
,
as
he
said
to
the
Angell
or
Bishop
of
the
Church
of
Pergamos
,
thou
hast
them
that
maintaine
the
Doctrine
of
Balaam
,
&c.
For
if
we
proceed
not
against
them
,
by
that
lawfull
power
which
God
and
the
King
hath
giuen
vs
,
or
if
we
will
not
doe
so
much
as
to
auoide
them
,
it
cannot
be
denyed
,
but
that
we
haue
them
.
Let
me
first
direct
my
speech
vnto
those
that
are
fallen
(
whom
I
will
not
terrifie
with
the
greatnesse
of
their
fall
,
by
pointing
vpward
from
whence
they
fell
,
and
downeward
to
let
them
see
whither
they
are
fallen
)
I
beseech
them
to
looke
on
our
Christian
charitie
,
who
doe
not
esteeme
them
to
be
Heretickes
or
Schismatickes
,
but
doe
denie
them
so
to
be
,
vnlesse
with
obstinate
mindes
,
they
will
defend
and
maintaine
their
dangerous
conceipts
.
My
counsell
vnto
such
therefore
is
,
that
they
will
resort
to
our
Sermons
and
Lectures
,
where
they
may
heare
the
reasons
giuen
in
publique
,
for
the
faith
which
we
professe
;
and
if
ioyntly
with
this
they
will
follow
Christ
his
counsell
,
searching
the
Scriptures
,
adding
instant
prayer
vnto
God
,
that
hee
would
be
pleased
to
reueale
vnto
them
the
mysteries
thereof
,
they
shall
doe
well
;
and
I
doubt
not
but
they
will
returne
againe
into
the
bosome
of
our
Church
,
to
bee
ingrafted
as
naturall
branches
into
the
true
Oliue
,
from
which
for
a
time
they
haue
been
cut
off
,
and
wee
shall
reioyce
exceedingly
that
they
are
come
againe
;
yea
,
the
Angells
of
God
in
heauen
,
shall
ioy
for
their
conuersion
.
Secondly
,
to
those
whose
hearts
are
not
yet
inuenomed
,
let
me
speake
a
word
in
due
season
;
Obedience
must
be
giuen
to
the
faith
.
Therefore
let
them
cleaue
close
vnto
it
,
and
not
suffer
themselues
in
any
sort
to
be
seduced
.
It
is
a
rule
to
interpret
the
Scriptures
.
Let
them
expound
the
Scriptures
according
to
the
proportion
of
faith
.
For
if
they
meete
not
in
all
places
with
the
naturall
sense
,
and
the
direct
meaning
of
the
holy
Ghost
,
for
that
in
the
Epistles
of
St.
Paul
,
and
diuers
other
bookes
of
the
Scripture
:
Some
things
are
hard
to
be
vnderstood
;
These
filthy
dreamers
defile
the
flesh
,
despise
dominion
,
and
speake
euill
of
dignities
.
And
God
Almighty
blesse
this
,
and
what
hath
beene
said
this
day
vnto
your
hearts
,
so
that
you
may
all
bring
forth
the
fruites
thereof
in
your
liues
and
conuersations
,
to
the
glory
of
his
great
name
,
who
liueth
foreuer
.
Amen
.
