CHAP. I.
S. SIR, I am now come to you in a greater straight than I was in before: I have met with a Teacher that tells me you are a deceiver, and have all this while misled me, and have taught me to build upon the sand of my own Righteousness, and set me on doing to my own undoing; and that I have not built on the Righteousness of Christ, and therefore all will end in my overthrow and ruin: I was not able to answer him; And I have prevailed with him to come to you, that I may hear you speak together.

P. Did not I tell you before-hand of such temptations? and give you instructions for your preservation against them?
S. I confess you did: But I find my self insufficient to use them without help when it comes to trial.
