Reproof of them that deal in deep points, and yet have but shallow understandings, corrupt affections, and scandalous behaviour: they delight to parle of predestination, and ⟨p. 126⟩yet find no testimony of their own election: they reason much of justification, but are utterly unacquainted with regeneration.

Thou that sayest ¹a man should not commit adultery, doest thou commit adultery? &c.
