So that by this Doctrine a man needs not know the persons in the God-head, nor the incarnation of Christ, upon which his Birth, Life, Death, Resurrection and Intercession depends, which are the sum of the Gospel. Yea, he may not only be ignorant of these Truths, the knowledge of which (if of any) is necessary to Salvation: but he may have false and perverse apprehensions of them, and yet be secure from perishing.

Ignorance hereof will be invincible, that is, both inculpable in it self, and sufficient to justify the criminal issues of it, if they want a Teacher: that is, not only, if it be not possible, but if it be ^(l)difficult, or inconvenient to have one.
