§. 171. Of the cause of errors about the Gospell.
Let not any be offended that so many in all ages have grossly erred,1 and broached divers heresies about⟨p. 532⟩ the Gospel, as Arians, Aetians, Ennomians, Eutychians, Marcionites, Manichees, Nestorians, Papists, Anabaptists, Familists, and many others. For the Gospel being a mystery, it is no marvel that many who have searched into it by their own wit, have erred therein. Their errors have not risen from any uncertainty and variableness in the Gospel, but from the shallowness of their own conceit. God in just judgement hath not vouchsafed to open the eyes of their understanding, but rather (asc Christ said) Hath hid these things from the wise and men of understanding and also sufferedd the God of this world to blind their eyes, that the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ should not shine unto them.
