Much of the same Spirit was Thomas Muntzer, John of Leiden, David George, Jacob Behmen, &c. whose cloudy Nonsense, enigmatical Expressions, and wilful Obscurity, drew many into a strange admiration of them: They all pretend to an higher knowledge of Mysteries than what the Gospel is acquainted with; and and yet give us (as Mr. Baxter well observes) neither Reasons with Aristotle, nor Miracles with Christ, and his Apostles, to cause us to believe any of their new Revelations. Vid. Baxter of the Sin against the Holy Ghost, p. 148.

Of the same Bran were our late Familists in England, of whom Henry Nichols was the chief Leader, who decried the written Word as a dead Letter; and set up their own fond Conceits and Fancies under the notion of the Spirit; against whom that heavenly and Learned Man, Mr. Samuel Rutherford, seasonably and successfully appeared. Hacket, Coppinger and Arthington, were of the same Tribe; who lived a-while wrapped up in Antinomian Fancies, which at last brake forth into the highest and most horrid Blasphemies.
