Remedy I.
Pray fervently, and labour diligently in the use of all God's appointed means, ⟨p. 120⟩to get more solidity of Judgment, and strength of Grace to establish you in the Truth, and secure your Souls against the cunning craftiness of Men that lye in to deceive.
'Tis the ignorance and weakness of the people, which makes the Factors for Error so successful as they are. Consult the Scriptures, and you shall find these cunning Merchants drive the quickest and gainfullest trade among the weak and injudicious. So speaks the Apostle, With good words and fair speeches, they deceive the hearts of the simple; [Greek or Hebrew], harmless, weak, easy Souls, who have a desire to do well, but want wisdom to discern the subtleties of them that mean ill; who are void both of fraud in themselves, and suspicion of others. Oh! what success have the Deceivers, [Greek or Hebrew], their fair words and sugared speeches, sweet and taking expressions, among such innocent ones!

Oh! what success have the Deceivers, , their fair words and sugared speeches, sweet and taking expressions, among such innocent ones!
