CAP. XIII. Whether Conscionable Christians and such as love the power and practice of piety, can without defiling their own conscience, or without a destructive wounding of the power of godliness, embrace and hold the principles of these who call themselves the godly party? Or whether they ought not rather to avoid these who do now Pharisaically and Donatistically appropriate to themselves the name of the Godly party, as being indeed such, who under the pretence of zeal for the power of godliness, hold diverse ungodly principles. pag. 159. Diverse who now pretend to be the godly party hold many ungodly principles. 1 That none ought to be punished for preaching or publishing an error in faith, except it be contrary to the light of nature. ibid. There is need of some Oedipus to loose this, how these who decline natures light in lesser things, should appeal to it in sublimer things. pag. 160. 2 That in questions of Religion we must only argue from the new testament. ibid. This is shortly refuted. pag, 161. 162. 3 That Sectaries and Heretics peaceable in the state ought to be tolerated and forborne. pag. 162. Toleration is the Sectaries holy of holies. ibid. Its shortly refuted. pag. 163. 4 That none should believe more nor by reason he can comprehend, this is not good Divinity. pag. 164. 165. 5 The only Gospel Reformation, is the destroying of sin out of the Elect, and that this work belongs to Christ alone. ibid. This is a destructive and injurious Doctrine. pag. 165. 166. 6 Diverse Arminian and Antinomian Tenets are maintained by them, which strengthen the hands of the wicked. pag. 167 7 Other Tenets are current among them which are apt to weaken the hearts and hands of the Godly. pag. 168.
