Sound Doctrine is the only substantial and solid food that nourishes and strengthens the heart of the new Creature: but vain Sceptics nauseate and despise this as trite, vulgar, cheap and low. Nothing humours them but Novelties and Rarities: their unsettled Brains must be wheeled about, [Greek or Hebrew], with divers and strange Doctrines, Heb. 13. 9. Novelty and Variety are the only properties that commend Doctrines to wanton Palates. Hence it is they so boldly intrude into things they have not seen, Col. 2. 18. These Cyril fitly calls [Greek or Hebrew], the domineerings, or darings of bold Spirits.
