Rom. 16. 17, 18. Now I beseech you brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offences, contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned, and avoid them: For they that are such, serve not our Lord Jesus, but their own belly, and by good words and fair speeches deceive ⟨p. 83⟩the hearts of the simple.
Matth. 24. 4. Jesus said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you: vers. 5. For many shall come in my Name, saying, I am Christ,: and shall deceive many. vers. 23. Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there: believe it not. vers. 24. For there shall arise false Christs, and false Prophets and shall show great signs and wonders: insomuch that (if it were possible) they shall deceive the very Elect. vers. 25. Behold I have told you before.
