2 Saltmarsh his Sparkles of Glory, must be an administration by arts & tongues, and so not that Ministry that can destroy the Antichrist, and sparkles of flesh and Antichristianism not of glory, for he besprinkles the margin of his book in the beginning, till his breath fail and he dry up, with the popish lace ⟨p. 202⟩of bits of Greek, as p. 1, 2, 3. &c. and citations of Scripture; and he hath had some Art such as it is, in writing Treatises to the School and Family of Love, the professed enemies of Puritans; yea, there is no writing, no speaking of English, no consequences (of which there be many monstrous ones that follow not from Scripture such as no confession of sin, no working in the Gospel, but only believe, &c. in Saltmarsh his books) but from Tongues, Arts, Logic, and so Familists yet must be under the Law.

3. Observe that Saltmarsh in bringing in Antichrist, is deeply silent of Popery, and the Romish Religion. For H. Nicholas, and Familists deny the Pope to be Antichrist, and think the Mass and Romish Priesthood indifferent, as all Religions are to them, and there is no Antichrist but the Legal Protestant void of the Spirit, because he speaks Greek and Hebrew, and hath some skill in Logic, and would have the Scriptures in use, and the preaching of Gospel, which Saltmarsh in his Reformation would lay aside, as contrary to that, Ye shall be all taught of God, he hath such a stomach against subordinata non pugnant; but whether he will or no, teaching by the Word, and so by Tongues and Arts, and by Timothy's attending to reading, shall go together till Christs second coming, as is clear Isaiah 59.21. Isaiah 61.1. where Christ is anointed with the Spirit to preach, and yet that Scripture was fulfilled when he spoke by Art & Tongues,
