2. Wherever you find any doctrine that shall tend to the lifting up of mans free-will, and debasing of Gods free grace, know, 'tis a wicked doctrine, and against the genius of the Gospel. Perhaps the Papists will tell you, we are alive; Paul tells you, we are dead. They say that we can do any thing many things that we talk to the World we cannot do; they say, that we can save our selves, and those with Christ if we will; whereas the Apostle tells you, 1 Cor. 1. 14. The natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God, for they are foolishness unto him, neither can be know them▪ because they are spiritually discerned. It may be they will tell you, a natural man may love God with his heart, really as so, & savingly; whereas the Apostle tells you. Rom. 8. 7. The carnal mind is enmity against God, for it is not subject unto the Law of God, neither indeed can be. Remember it, in all those Doctrines wherein we do agree with those whom we call Pelagians, and their brood the Arminians, so far we agree with the Jesuits, and the worst of Papists.
