4 The Familists of New England take on them to judge who are elect and who are reprobate: and Saltmarsh will have one Saint to know another, as well as we know one another by voice, features, statures of the outward man; then must the light of this new spirit be as certain as our knowledge by sense, why then are we bidden, try the spirits, and believe not every spirit? Peter (saith he pag. 150, 151, 152.) walked in his fleshly appearance with his sword, not knowing God was to call him out of that dispensation of the flesh to more glory, into the same glory he had with God before the world was. Eye for eye, and wars, are from the Law and legal principles.

Ans. Peter was not called to the glory that Christ had with his father before the world was, in this life, so long as his flesh needed the defence of a sword, except heaven and the resurrection be in this life while we are clothed with flesh, as Familists teach.
