The eight Cause is this, Men contenting themselves under a daubing and a flattering Ministry: Men that under pretence of preaching free-grace, the love of God, and the merits of Christ, all their Sermons are comfortable strains, when indeed they are but the making the Way to Heaven wider then God makes it; This reason is given by God himself, Isa. 8. 11. For the Lord spake thus to me with a strong hand, and instructed me, that I should not walk in the way of this people. They speak peace when indeed they were in trouble, Jer. 23. 13, 14. verses, And I have seen folly in the Prophets of Samaria, they prophesied in Baal, and caused my ⟨p. 199⟩people to err. I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing, they have committed adultery, and walk in lies; they strengthen also the hands of evil doers, that none doth return from his wickedness; they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
