2. You are enemies to Christ; and I believe that Jesus Christ hath scarcely greater enemies under the Sun than you▪ who are greater enemies to Christ, than those who deny his eternal Deity? (as I have proved to be the plain consequence of W. P's words, and of the ⟨p. 76⟩denial of the Trinity) who are greater enemies to Christ, than those that deny his Satisfaction and Justification by his merits? who are greater enemies to Christ, than those that oppose his faithful Ministers and Ambassadors, and that lye in wait to deceive and mislead Christians? you are enemies to his truths, and ways, and ordinances, and cause, and interest, and Ministers, and true Disciples; and all this with Christ in your mouths, and I am confident the Lord doth hate and abhor you for such hypocrisy.

3. You are Children of the Devil; and the works of your Father you do, and will do; you are his more close and subtle agents, that in a seeming more refined way, do all you can to enlarge the bounds of his Kingdom; and like Satan when the Sons and Daughters of God assemble themselves to worship their Father, some of you will appear amongst them to disturb them; I wonder how you can have the face to pretend Religion, when it is so apparent that you are more than ordinarily acted by the Devil to oppose it.
