Thirdly, Some speak against their hearts doctrinally or in the Doctrines which they propound and teach. There are three sorts who speak amiss doctrinally.
Thirdly, Some speake against their hearts doctrinally or in the Doctrines which they propound and teach. There are three sorts who speak amisse doctrinally.
First, Some speak that which is not right in the uprightness of their hearts; or, I may say, they speak that which is false with a true heart; that is, they think it to be a truth which they utter, when 'tis an error, and will be found so at last. When ever we see different opinions stiffly maintained among honest and godly men, (which though it be a very sad sight, yet it is too often seen, in that case I say) one side always speaks that which is false with a true heart, and utters error uprightly. The truth is, some men defend an error with better and more honest hearts, then some others defend the truth. For

Some preach Christ, that is, the Gospel, yea the truth of Christ in the Gospel, (else the Apostle would not have rejoiced in it, as he professeth he did at the 18th verse, I therein do rejoice, yea and will rejoice.) Yet these men did not preach in the uprightness of their own hearts; for, saith he, Some Preach Christ out of envy and strife, and some out of good will, (they preached Christ, pure Gospel, yet not with pure hearts, for, he adds, they did it) supposing to add affliction to my bonds; They preached to oppose the Apostles more then to set up Christ, and though they preached the truth, yet they did it more in pretence then in truth; as 'tis said at the 18th verse. The same Apostle speaks of others, (2 Cor: 11.13, 14.) who preached what was true for the matter, and yet he calls them false Apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into the Apostles of Christ, and no marvel, for
