1. Those that are delivered by Faith are those that are well grounded in the Doctrinal and main points of Religion: Faith can never work off the soul from the Government and Ceremonies of Antichrist, unless it be well grounded in the doctrine and principles of Religion if I see men cry out of Antichrist, and of the Government of Antichrist, and it appears that they have not a competent measure of knowledge in the grounds of Religion and Principles of Faith, they are to be suspected: As many: come and examine them about Church Government, and they will tell you a great deal (not but that Christians should labour to have knowledge in that) but come to examine them the Principles of Religion, and there they are silly and ignorant: if they be not grounded in them it appears it is not a work of Faith.
