2. It's uncertainty is seen in the divers shapes and moulds it hath, denying and affirming. As Tertullian of the Peacock, Multicolor, versicolor, nunquam idem & tamen semper idem. Thus erroneous Doctrines are always in new dresses, in a new garb, as they are necessitated by truth. How often was Pelagianism interpoluted? Therefore the Apostle calls the dealing of such persons who use to sow these tares [Greek or Hebrew], Ephes. 4.14. and [Greek or Hebrew], a slight juggling, yea and bewitching, Gal. 3.1. making such things to appear to the sense, that have no subsistence. Thus among the Arians, both the Eusebiusses were in crafty and divers dresses, sometimes for the Orthodox, sometimes against them. And Pelagius did four times change his opinion about Grace, or rather his expressions. At first he denied grace, then he made nature, grace; then the outward preaching of the Word, grace; then granted the grace of remission of sin. Thus he did gratiae vo•abulo uti, ad frange•dum invidiam. So that herein the levity and uncertainty of falsehoods doth appear, that they are divers and strange Doctrines, strange to the Word, and divers, and disagreeing among themselves.

2. It's uncertainty is seen in the divers shapes and moulds it hath, denying and affirming. As Tertullian of the Peacock, Multicolor, versicolor, nunquam idem & tamen semper idem. Thus erroneous Doctrines are alwayes in new dresses, in a new garb, as they are necessitated by truth. How often was Pelagianism interpoluted? Therefore the Apostle cals the dealing of such persons who use to sow these tares 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, Ephes. 4.14. and 〈non-Latin alphabet〉, a slight jugling, yea and bewitching, Gal. 3.1. making such things to appear to the sense, that have no subsistence. Thus among the Arians, both the Eusebiusses were in crafty and divers dresses, sometimes for the Orthodox, sometimes against them. And Pelagius did four times change his opinion about Grace, or rather his expressions. At first he denied grace, then he made nature, grace; then the outward preaching of the Word, grace; then granted the grace of remission of sinne. Thus he did gratiae voabulo uti, ad frangedum invidiam. So that herein the levity and uncertainty of falshoods doth appear, that they are divers and strange Doctrines, strange to the Word, and divers, and disagreeing among themselves.
