1First, In respect of doctrine; and true doctrine, that is the soul and life of all, 1 Tim. 1.3. Paul layeth a charge, that they do not [Greek or Hebrew], teach another doctrine. Oh it's a sad prognostic of ruin, when some Ministers preach one doctrine as necessary to salvation; others another: now the true doctrine is revealed in the Word, and whatsoever is another from that, is not grounded there, that is to be rejected: Yea the Apostle would have us anathematize an Angel from heaven that should bring any other doctrine, Gal. 1.8. And John, would not have us so much as receive them in the house, or bid them God speed, 2 Joh ver. 10, 11. and who doth so, he saith, is partaker of all his evil deeds. So then the Ministry ought to be one in respect of doctrine; to preach one God, one Christ, one Faith, one way to heaven; for they are not to be inverters, but keepers only of heavenly doctrine: Keep that good thing committed to thy trust, said the Apostle, 2 Tim. 1.14.
