Those that believe, but fail in regard of the use of the Gospel,1 and of the Lord Jesus, and these we read of, Jude 3. viz. of some men that did turn Grace into ••nt•nnesse, for therein appears the exceeding evil of a mans heart, that not only the Law, but also the glorious Gospel of the Lord Jesus works in him all manner of unrighteousness; and 'tis too common for men at the first work of conversion, oh then to cry for Grace, and Christ, and afterward grow licentious, live and lye in the breach of the Law, and take their warrant for their course from the Gospel; I shall not name all the ways that men do so, but I will only speak that ⟨p. 129⟩which conscience and compassion moves me to; not to begin, but if possible to still division, and what I shall speak shall be by way of prevention.
