1. Learn we to judge aright of Liberty; Scripture-liberty. Gal. 5.1. Paul biddeth us stand fast in our liberty: and those accursed ones he looks unto, Chap. 1. who also pleaded for liberty, and whom the Assertors of true Liberty should accordingly pronounce accursed. Blessed men plead for liberty, and cursed men plead for liberty. The Gnostic in 2 Pet. 2.19. doth plead for liberty: Good men plead for liberty, and bad men plead for liberty: the best men plead for liberty, and the worst men plead for liberty. If you ask what Liberty is? you may look at it as a Power, as to any external restraint, or obstruction-on mans part, to walk in the Faith, Worship; Doctrine and Discipline of the Gospel, according to the Order of the Gospel. When you hear ⟨p. 8⟩men plead for Liberty, see that it be not Liberty falsely so called.
