S. Peter in setting down this point, notes out the true ground and reason thereof in these words, Denying the Lord that bought them, they bring upon themselves swift destruction, 2 Pet. 2.1. By the Lord that bought them, he means the Lord Jesus Christ. Now to deny him is an high pitch of Apostasy: And thereby •hey bring upon themselves destruction; in that there is no salvation ⟨p. 24⟩in any other. For there is no other name under heaven given among men whereby we must be saved. Act. 4.12. They who deny him by whom alone salvation is to be had must needs bring destruction upon themselves. This is the most principal reason of all.
