2 They that have gotten knowledge, but want honesty; and these are the most dangerous seducers, 2 Cor. 11.13. Such are false Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of CHRIST. When Achitophels head stands upon Simon Magus his shoulders, there is a world of mischief towards. A will bent to do harm, and a wit able to prosecute it; like Cannon-shot makes a lane where it goes. Such a Prophet was Balaam, he could not make Israel cursed by his Prophecy, therefore he tries to effect it by his policy. He sends a troop of Moabitish whores among them: that so they might be tempted to offend GOD, and GOD might cease to defend them. He had confessed before, Numb. 23.23. That there could be no Enchantment nor witchcraft against Israel. No devils, but those she-devils could do it. A whore is that damnable witch that often brings a Saint in danger of a curse. In this rank is that rank rabble of Jesuits: they have fired their brains at Machiavel's forge, and cast their hearts in the mould of Antichrist; and now they are fitted to steal away souls from JESUS. These are Satan's Emissaries, the Popes Seminaries, the Lands Incendiaries, the worlds Voluptuaries, the bane of a kingdom that harbours them. The cruellest murderers. He that lets out the blood, the body kills: But he that breaks hearts-peace, the dear soul spills. O that these Foxes were un-earthed from their thievish boroughs, and our Land preserved from that kind of false Teachers! Their very mercies are cruel; we know their bloody purposes both to souls and bodies. The Lord or his mercy cast them for ever far from us; and let all people, that have, or desire to have, in themselves and their Posterity, the heads of good subjects, and the hearts of good Christians, say Amen.
