First,1 Thou diddest trust in thy Way; they were confident that was right, they were not willing to hear any thing to the contrary: And if they did, yet their hearts were so biassed by their false worship, that any thing that was said to the contrary was nothing to them, they were very confident that there was no man able to say any thing to purpose against them, no, we have so many understanding learned men for this way, no question it is right, there's none but a company of silly, weak men that are in any other way.

There's no way of peace to the State, ⟨p. 493⟩to the Kingdom, but this, that which others would have, namely to go to Jerusalem to worship, it's a most unreasonable way. Yea, they think that God is well pleased with their way, and they do good service in opposing and persecuting those that are not of their way; Thus they trust in their way.
