This was an old trick and practice of Deceivers, Deut. 13. 1. to give Signs and Wonders in confirmation of their Way, which Signs the Lord may permit to fall out to prove his People, vers. 2. 3. tho, for the most part, they are confuted by their unanswerable Events.
In the beginning of our Reformation by Luther, Calvin, &c. there sprung up a Generation of Men, called Schwenkfeldians, great Pretenders to Revelations and Visions, who were always speaking of Deifications; and an higher strain of Language they commonly used among themselves, than other serious Christians understood, ⟨p. 139⟩and therefore scornfully entitled Orthodox and humble Christians, who stuck to the Scripture-phrase, and wholesome form of sound words, Grammatists, Vocabulists, Literalists, &c. These Men (as* Scultetus in his Annals, ad annum 1525. Observes of them) were so entangled in certain Enthusiastic Snares, that they thought it the highest impiety to renounce them: and they had befooled multitudes with their magnificent words of Illumination, Revelation, Deification.
