CHAP. VII. Of Revelations and Inspirations.
AS Swenckefeld and his; so Familists and Antinomians now, as also the Nicolaitans, of which hereafter, were all for immediate inspirations, revelations, without scripture, or endeavours or studying, or books or reading. It was observed in New England, when Familists grew, that, especially in the Town of Boston and in other parts of New England, Familists ⟨p. 39⟩devised such a difference between the covenant of works, and of grace, especially after a sermon preached by M. Wheelwright a prime Familist, that he that will not renounce (saith the author of the story of the rise, reign. &c. pag. 24 25) his sanctification, and wait for an immediate revelation of the Spirit, cannot be admitted, be he never so Godly, and is looked on as an enemy to Christ, and he that is already in the Church and will not acknowledge this new light, is undervalued.
