Caution 1 1. Take this caution, that men may be strongly conceited and opinionated, that they have an interest in Christ when they have not: I shall give you a plain text for this in 2 Cor. 10. 7. Do you look on things after the outward appearance? (says the Apostle) 1if any man trust to himself, that he is Christs, let him of himself think this again, that as he is Christs, even so are we Christs: This is a very notable place; there were some among the Corinthians that were strongly conceited they did belong to Christ, when they did not; and had an ill opinion of the Apostles, and thought they did not belong to Christ; and to such as these the Apostle Paul here speaks: men may be strongly conceited they have an interest in Christ, when there is no such matter, as it was with the Church of Laodicea, in Rev. 3. 17. Thou sayest I am rich and increased in goods, and have need of nothing: and knowest 2not that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
