SECT. XXIV. Use 1.
THE first Use that we shall make of this part of the Observation (before we proceed to the explication of the other parts) is, To inform us of the mistake and injurious dealing of some misguided ones, commonly called Antinomians, who tell us, that we must look at nothing in our selves, nor fetch comfort from it, and earnestly exclaim against the Preachers of the Gospel for teaching men to look at any thing in themselves, and to take comfort from the Evidence of their graces, and tell us that we must look to Christ alone, and call all those Legal Preachers or Professors that be not of their mind in this. But you may see by what is said before, that they speak against the clearest fullest Evidence; and that the whole stream of Scripture, beareth down their opinion. And therefore it is sad, that when they go against the light of the Sun, they should be so confident as to accuse their Brethren of darkness, and so rash as to censure them as Legalists and ignorant of the righteousness of Christ.
