Three things you are to guard against.
1. Your own deceitfulness, especially in a rash and sudden forsaking of those ways that have been taught, and the profession you have taken up; for Christians would never be so mad to Apostatize, were they but seriously deliberate about the weight of them, Gal. 1. 6. O foolish Galatians, who hath bewitched you that you should not obey the truth? &c. I marvel what ailed you, that you are so soon turned away to another Gospel: One would have thought they might have spoken with Paul first, and sent to him, and reasoned the case with him: There's a marvellous bewitching in false Doctrines, and false Worship, to take men presently, who are not watchful over themselves. It is in disputations and practising truth, as it is in contentions: if you make a Judgement before you hear both parties speak, you judge unrighteously: if you forsake the ways and truths of Jesus Christ, before you hear what can be said for them, you do unrighteously.
