Doct. They that are persuaded to attain life by false means, will never be brought to seek after the right means. Thus the Jews, Isaiah 30. and 31. trusting to Egypt, withdrew themselves from the Lord, the only means of their safety. Thus did the Scribes and Pharisees, Luk. 7.30. despise the counsel of God, whereas Publicans, Soldiers, Harlots, &c. came unto Christ. Why? Because these had no other ground to trust unto, whereby they might attain to life. But the Pharisees were full of many false persuasions of attaining to it by other means: Mat. 21.30. Luk. 1.33.
