Now I beseech you brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our assembling unto him: 2 That ye be not suddenly moved from your mind, nor troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter, as it were from us, as though the day of Christ were at hand.

You are the children of those fathers, which have fallen from their steadfastness, and have been led into error: beware least you also be carried away with every blast of false •rine. The Devil is subtle, his baits are pleasant, you are weak and simple, he will ⟨p. 249⟩soon deceive you. Here let us consider how easily man may be deceived, that so we mai• know the corruption and weakness of our nature, and therefore what cause we have ever to walk warily, to take heed to our steppes, and to pray unto GOD that he line our hearts unto his testimonies. When I say, man may be deceived: I mean not bays or children, or fools, or the simpler sort of men: but the learned, the wife, the politic: the •ga and Princes of the world: the teachers, and rulers of the people.
