1. The Subject, Every m•ns work, [work.] Here the Apostle calleth erroneous Doctrines; as also the publishing and propagating of them works, which overthroweth that nice distinction of some, who pressed with that place, Rom. 13. The Magistrate is a terror to evil works. Works (say they) not opinions, or false Doctrines, for though the opinion simply as so, is hidden in the heart, yet the professing and publication of it, is a work, therefore here they are made all one. So vers. 8. it's called a mans labour. And John epist. 2. we must not bid God speed, to a man that brings a false Doctrine, lest thereby we be partaker of his evil deeds.
