Our positive Points that we ground out of S. Paul, and out of the Scriptures. We seek the old way, and the best way, as Jeremiah adviseth us. There was none of the Popish trash in Abraham's time, in the Patriarch's time, in Christs, and his Apostles times, or in many hundred years after: they came in by little and little for their own advantage; a mere policy to get money, and to abuse people. I say, they hold all our positive truths: but their error is in addition.

Now this question may be made, whether their additions may be dangerous, or no? because it may be supposed, that some among them will 1say, that heresy is not in addition, but in contrariety to the faith, and detracting: but when one holds more then they should, that is no heresy, because there is somewhat superabounds; now we hold the truth, and more too.
