Ninteenth Observation.
How specious and taking soever the pretences of Error be, and how long soever they maintain themselves in esteem among men, they are sure to end in the loss and shame of their Authors and Abetters at last.*
- *Post foedum Arii obirum, quamplurimos ex iis, qui ab Ario priùs decepti fuerant, ad sanitatem rediisse, scribit Athanasius, ad Serapion•m▪
Truth is a Rock, the waves of Error that dash against, evermore return in ⟨p. 41⟩froth and foam: yea, they foam out their own shame, saith the Apostle, Jud. 13. What Tacitus spake of crafty Counsels, I may as truly apply to crafty Errors, Consilia callida primâ specie laeta, tractatu dura, eventu tristia: They are pleasant in their beginnings, difficult in their management, and sad in their event and issue.
