THE Gnostics having their name from knowledge, had their rise not from Nicholas, one of the seven Deacons, as Philaster thinketh, but rather as Irenaeus saith, lib. 1. heres. c. 24. from Carpocrates, they said the Soul was made of the substance of God, or, It was the very essence of God; I conceive the Monkish Familists had their rise from the Gnostics, and Manicheans, who sprang from the Gnostics. The Libertines, David George, 1and H. Nicholas seem to have their first spring from these two, to wit, Theologia Germanica, and The Bright-star. For Philosophy and Divinity dissected, is but a rude, foolish, and unlearned Pamphlet, of late penned, and changing as Familists and Antinomians do, Scripture, and God, and Christ, into Metaphors and vain Allegories.
