And this way of changing all histories of the word in allegories, is the way to elude all truth. When it is said, God created the Heaven and the Earth, the Sea, Man, Beasts, Birds, Fishes, we must make the world an Imaginary and Metaphorical world, the Creation must be but an allegory, men must be figures, allegories and metaphors, so must heaven, earth, sea, land, birds, fishes, be metaphors, for there is as true a real history of all that Jesus did and said until the day he was taken up to heaven, Act. 1.1, 2. As of all other true histories in the word. Else Familists puts us to a stand in all the Articles of our faith.1 I confess the way that Del and the Familists take, when they cite these words for an internal word, and a spiritual and allegoric sense, besides the literal sense, The words that I speak are spirit and life, Is an unavoidable way to elude all scripture, and M. Beacon in his Catechism while he clear himself, is a gross Familist to me, for he speaking of Christ crucified, turns all Christ in a Metaphorical Imaginary Christ in these words pag. 137.2
