Secondly, many of those new lights which some brag off, ⟨p. 129⟩not only expel much of the good old light, but bring in gross Egyptian darkness. There is a woe denounced against those who put darkness for light, as well as against those who put light for darkness, Isay 5. 20. I may well say, that gross darkness is introduced, when the fundamental Articles of faith are called in question, denied, and oppugned, as the Godhead of Jesus Christ, the divine authority of the Scriptures; the immortality of the Soul, the eternity of glory to the Elect, and of torments to the Reprobate, &c. If the foundations be shaken, what can the righteous do? If we hold not fast this Gospel, if we embrace not this Saviour, we cannot have another, 1 Cor: 3. 11. For other foundation can no man lay, then that is laid, which is Jesus Christ, Gal: 1. 6. I marvel that ye are so soon removed from him that called you into the grace of Christ, unto another Gospel, vers, 8. But though we or an Angel from heaven preach any other Gospel unto you, then that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
