1 Of the truth, as the cause of it, John 8.37. he that is born of the truth, 1 John 3.19. so to be of the truth, is to be a Child of the truth, so that when it is said, it it not of the truth, that is, it is not born of the truth, and it is not bred of the truth.

:2128p. 175¶2

2 It springs not from the Spirit of truth, but from a lying spirit.

:2129p. 175¶3

3 It springs not from the truth of their own hearts, not from the very moral civill truth; they neither spring from the divine truth of the Gospel, nor from the Spirit, nor from the moral truth in their own hearts; a man may speak not from the Spirit of truth in the word, and yet speak from an honest heart, but an Heretic speaks not from the truth of his own heart,
