This word confounded the Arians & all sects of heretics. What is become of Marcion, of Nestorius, of Valentinu• of Menander, of Sabellius, of Eutyches, and others? they are blown away as smoke before the wind: the word of God hath confounded them, and beat them away. As Dagon fell, and brake his hands and neck, and could not stand in the presence of the Ark of the Lord: even so shall all falsehood fall and hide it self in the presence of the truth of God. As the Rod of Moses devoured the Rods of the Charmers: as the beams of the Sun drive away and consume darkness, so shall the word of God chase away errors.

When the two Disciples walked by the way with Christ, they said between themselves,1 after their eyes were opened, that they knew him: Did not our hearts burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and opened to us the Scriptures? His words did possess all our senses: this talk was not like common talk, we felt it forcible in us, as the word of ⟨p. 144⟩Israel heard Peter declare unto them at Jerusalem by proof of the Scriptures,2 that Christ was come, they were not able to resist the word of God, but were pricked in their hearts and said unto Peter and the other Apostles Men and brethren what shall we do? we acknowledge our error: the words which you speak are most true: they are the words of life: teach us and instruct us what we shall do. They felt the force of it, and yielded unto it: they did acknowledge it was the word of God.
