1. The object, a lie: that is, either 1. false Doctrines, 1 Tim. 4.2. Speaking lies in Hypocrisy. When palpable errors are taken for truths. A man given over by God to delusion, will swallow the grossest errors and f•ctions, and that in matters dangerous and destructive to Salvation. False Doctrines are often called a lie in Scripture, as opposite to the truth. And yet such things are received by those from whose parts the World would expect better things. 2. False Miracles, in their Legends; a man would wonder any should have the face to obtrude such ridiculous stories, and scandalous to Religion upon the World. 3. False Calumnies against those Instruments whom God employed in the reformation: Popery is a Religion supported by lies, as that Calvin was a Sodomite, and burnt in the shoulder at Noyon, for that crime, and the Popish Dea• and Chapter of that place have published his Vindicate. That Luther was an Incarnate Devil begotten by an Incubus. I should weary you to rake in this Dunghill, but I must close it with the general observation, that Antichristians will lie; some among them call them pious frauds, but they are Diabolical Forgeries.
