2 As the Gospel first began by simple Fisher-men to be preached, but afterward being received in love, grew to the other more learneder sort: so, for not receiving the word in love, but having our ears tickling to new doctrine, heresies, and sects, (beginning now amongst1 us but in the simpler sort, and ignorant men of the Country) are like to invade the best learned. And God purposing to punish the coldness of our age, can as well now send an heretical spirit, not only into the common people, but into 400. learned Preachers, as he did in times past send a lying spirit into the mouths of 400. Prophets.
