Other false teachers you can suffer, But the true Apostles you cannot suffer them, if one come in his own name, you receive them, I come in my Fathers name, and you reject me says Christ. John, 5.43. And so many complain of the Ministers of God, they take so much upon them, & they will not yield to that they say, but if you live under Popery you must live under every base priest, and what he says you must believe as your Faith, & venture your souls upon it, without examining of it, and you must not manifest any rejection: So that is apparent men will yield to any things rather then to God, rather count the subjection to God bondage, then count the subjection to Antichrist bondage, rather be servants to Antichrist, then servants to God. I speak this the rather, to see what cause we have to bless God for our deliverance from this: And that we may learn to know how to use our liberties.
