How shall the building up of Jericho be stopped, seeing they go about it so: and indeed 1they have built much of late years, and ha• raised up their walls very high, and labour what they can to stop the building of Jerus• lem?
How shall the building up of Iericho be stopped, seeing they goe about it so: and indee• 1they have built much of late yeares, and ha• raised up their wals very high, and labo• what they can to stop the building of Ierus• lem?
- 1Quest.
The way to stop this Jericho, that it new 1go up again, is the judicious knowledge […] Popery, that it is a Religion contrary to the blessed truth of God. God hath left us hi• Testament, his Will, wherein he hath be quell thed us all the good that we can challenge from him. Now this Religion is contrary […] our Fathers will; and they know it we• 2enough, and therefore they build their co•s ⟨p. 121⟩upon mens devises, and not upon divine •th. They know if people come to know the testament, that they should loose, and therere they labour to suppress knowledge, and extinguish it; we should labour to know the controversial truths between us, and them, nd to have the knowledge of the Scriptures: or knowledge is a notable means to strengthen us; there are none that know Popery; hat will be deceived by it.
