Therefore having observed that Examination is the necessariest lesson in Christianity, and less known than other, I have studied since my Sermon to lay down three Examinations which you should use at all times, and a special Examination, for the Communicants Catechism, which leadeth immediately to the Sacrament as a Guest is handed to the Table. In the first Examination I will show thee a Rule how thou shalt try others Spirits, and how thou shalt try thine own.

Thou shalt try strange Spirits by their manner of speaking, 1plainly, or doubtfully, boldly or fearfully: therefore we read that the Oracles of the Heathen had a double meaning, and that the false Prophets never spake boldly, but where their Patrons were ready to flesh them.
- 1The first examination upon the marks of true Spirits and the false in our selves or others. 1 King. 22. 11. Deu. 18. 22 Mat. 7. 15. Mat. 7. 16.
