Answ. Nay, but this follows not, no more than that you must go to Rome, to try, and find out the Deceits of the Papists; or that you must go into Turkey, to try, and find out the false Doctrine of the Turks: you may try, and discover Papists, and Turks; yet it doth not follow, that you must read over their Books, and Alcoran. The Apostle saith, Mark those which cause division, and avoid them: False Teachers shall arise in the last days (saith he) and from such turn away. And the Apostle John saith, If any come to you not with this Doctrine, receive him not into your House, nor bid him God speed, lest you be partaker of their evil Deeds. Look whatever mischief they shall do abroad by their False Doctrines, all that shall you partake in, if you receive them into your Houses, or countenance them by bidding them God speed. He that receiveth a true Prophet in the Name of a Prophet, shall receive that Prophets Reward; he shall profit by that Prophet, and shall have a share in all the good which he doth: So he that receiveth a false Prophet, shall receive a false Prophets Reward; he shall be poisoned by him, and shall partake in his evil Deeds.
