1 JOHN. 2.18, 19, 20. Little Children, it is the last time, and as ye have heard that Antichrist shall come, even now are there many Antichrists, whereby we know that it is the last time, &c.

Saint John writing to all sorts of Christians, Old, Young, and Children, he speaks particularly to them all; to Young-men, and Old, he wrote, Vers. 14, 15. Love not the world, but for Babes, he writes not to them about the love of the World, for they are not easily subject to it; but no age so flexible as young Children, so that if they be once set in a right way, and live under faithful Instructors, there is no great danger of them, therefore he writes to them here, to make them beware of false Teachers, and cleave to sound Doctrine.

First, now he describes and sets out these false Teachers.
