These were the Doctrines of the Apostles, and the true Teachers of the Gospel. Doth any man therefore say, I now come unto you from God, and God hath sent me? And doth he say, there is no other Heaven, nor Hell, than what is in this Life? Or doth he preach against the Resurrection, and Ascension of our Bodies? Or doth he preach against respect unto Magistrates, and Civil Relations? Or doth he tell you of a Light within all men, ⟨p. 417⟩which is able to bring them to Salvation? Doth he preach Perfection, saying, That Man may be perfect, and without sin in this Life? Or doth he tell you of Justification by somewhat within you? Or doth he cry down, degrade, and vilify the Ordinances of Christ, Ministry, Water Baptism, Lords Supper, and Singing? Or doth he deny the Deity of Christ on Earth? or the Humanity of Christ in Heaven? Or doth he preach down the Scripture, by telling you, that the Light and Spirit within you, is your Rule? Surely this Person is a false Apostle, and a false Teacher. Thus you may try a man by his Doctrine.
