Reas. 1. Because opinion may spring from [Greek or Hebrew] even as Hamans opinion was, that the King would honour no man so much as himself, H•st. 6.6. so many times out of self-love, we think we wish well to God, and he to us, when there is no such matter in truth.
Reas. 1. Because opinion may spring from 〈non-Latin alphabet〉 even as Hamans opinion was, that the King would honour no man so much as himself, H•st. 6.6. so many times out of self-love, we think we wish well to God, and he to us, when there is no such matter in truth.
2 Opinion may spring from common Graces, such as may be in Hypocrites, Matth. 7.22, 23. they wondered why they were not received, because they had done many good works, and Prophesied in his Name, and cast out Devils, &c. therefore they doubted not of acceptance, so from these common Gifts it often falls out, that we have a good conceit of our selves, that God will accept us.
