A. None need be discouraged at their natural weakness, if Christ be their Teacher. Mat. 11.25. At that time Jesus answered, and said, I thank thee, O father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. Psal. 19.7. The testimonies of the Lord are sure, making wise the simple.

Q. 8. What is the second Instruction?
A. That it's a dreadful judgment to be spiritually blinded under the Gospel. 2 Cor. 4.3, 4. But if our Gospel be kid, it is ⟨p. 54⟩hid to them that are lost, in whom the God of this world hath blinded the minds of them that believe not, lest the light of the glorious Gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine into them.
