A Post-script.
Sect. 1. Whereas divers say, they were drawn in to prefix their Names to this Drs. Book, because they were told, that the Errors were expunged: Upon perusal, I find that it is no such matter; but in Vol. 3. Ser. 3, 4. &c. the Author rather more frequently inculcateth the worst of them, viz. [That sin cannot hurt any that are Elect, or that Christ dyed for.] And that [in 1. Joh. It is a powerful means to keep them from sinning, to believe that if they sin, it can do them no hurt.]

Sect. 2. The Text drew him to use the Name of sinning. [I write to you, that you sin not.] But did not the Contradiction of it to his Doctrine convince him, while he read the Text against sinning; judge whether he took not the thing to be impossible? He saith, Tho' such do Murder, commit Adultery, Blasphemy, Idolatry, or any such thing, they are no Murderers, Adulterers, &c. or Sinners; because it is Christ's sin, and not theirs, and cannot be his and theirs too; so that they may live in the Act, but cannot sin.
