I. Scripture-light the most sure light ... delivered in three sermons on 2 Pet.…

whereas the Apostle Paul, writing to Timothy, saith, Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding oppositions of Science, falsely so called; which some professing, have erred concerning the Faith, 1 Tim. 6.20, 21. And what is the reason, that not only some, but many have now erred concerning the Faith, and have fallen from their steadfastness? but because they have been thus affected? 9. Or because they have not been built on the Rock Christ; but on some Sandy, and washy Foundation: whereas the Psalmist saith, He set my feet on a Rock, and established my goings, Psal. 40.2. but if men be upon the Sand, they must needs fall, and great will be their fall, as their Profession is great. 10. Sometimes men live high, and profess beyond that Stock of Grace which they have: But if you would be kept and established, observe what the causes, and reasons are, of the Instability, and Apostasy of others, and take heed thereof.
