1What is the cause of mens erroneous principles but ignorance? They err, not knowing the Scriptures, Mat. 22.29. Impostors like cozening tradesmen, when they have men in a dark shop, put what rotten deceitful ware they please into their hands; they lead captive silly women, that are ever learning and never coming to the knowledge of the truth, 2 Tim. 3.6, 7. Heretics like nurses may put meat or poison into ⟨image 13⟩their mouths who are babes in understanding; they that are children in knowledge will be tossed to and fro with every wind of doctrine. The blind man eats many a fly, and the ignorant man swallows many an error. Men will easily be brought to deny the truths which they understand not, and to speak evil of the things which they know not, Jude vers. 10. Simul ac desinunt ignorare, desinunt odisse, saith Tertullian (in apolog.) of them that condemned the Christian Religion.
