so that all those that will for Doctrines teach the traditions of men, will render the Commandments of God of none effect, in vain do they worship me. Look therefore wherever God doth not find a tongue to speak, do not you find an ear to hear, nor an heart to believe. Christians, if you expect Christs benediction, always call aloud for Christs institution, so Col. 2.18, 19. one of the greatest steps you have against Popery, Let no man beguile you of your reward in a voluntary humility, and worshipping of Angels, intruding into those things which he hath not seen, vainly puffed up by his fleshly mind, &c. Deut. 12.13. What things soever I command you, observe to do it, thou shalt not add thereto, nor diminish from it. There are no Wens in the body of Gods Precepts, therefore none of them to be cut off. You must not deal with Gods Ordinances, as that Tyrant Procrustes did with men, if they were too long for his Bed, he would cut them shorter; if too short, he would pull their limbs out of joint to make them longer. Never think your selves in conscience bound to lend an ear to that which God doth not find a mouth to speak.
