There are another sort of men, that raise up 1Jericho, that revive all the heresies that were damned to Hell, by the ancient Councils. The heresy of Pelagius, was damned to Hell by the ancient Councils: The African Councils, divers of them, divers Synods (wherein Augustine himself was a party) they condemned ⟨p. 116⟩Pelagius heresy. Are there not men now abroad, that will revive these heresies? And there must be expected nothing, but a curse, where this prevails: for they are opinions cursed by the Church of God, that have bi• lead by the Spirit of God heretofore, such opinions I mean, as speak meanly of the grace of God, as if it were a weak thing, and advance the strength of Free-will, and make an Idol of that; And so under the commendation, and setting up of nature, are enemies of grace: These are those that build up Jericho.
