A second admonition to Mr. Edward Bagshaw written to call him to repentance for…

Prop. 6. But our Liberty in either of these three last mentioned Cases, ought not causelessly to be taken from us by others, nor must be causelessly cast away by our selves; nor should we yield to false Teachers, who would deceive the Churches, by telling them that they are under Divine Obligations, when they are not; and make them believe that things lawful are unlawful, and things indifferent are necessary, Gal. 2. 4, 5. Col. 2. 16, 18, 20, 21, 22, 23. Acts 15. 1 Cor. 7. 21, 22.
