SECT. XXI
For a Conclusion the Narrator turns Prophet, & gets up to the top of Mount Ehal, and there curses the people of God, or these Churches in New-England: and what is it so stirs his spleen? why they have born their witness faithfully against Anabaptists Errors and Scandals and detected the sin of those men who, after they have (for Lies' Slanders, Covenant breaking, despising Gods Ministers, and slighting the Admonitions of their respective Churches) been in Christs Name delivered up to Satan, have joined themselves in erecting and establishing an Anti-Temple, and (like the Samaritans of old) become a Mount-Gerizzim, a Den, and Receptacle for every mal-content and scandalous person (that cannot submit to the Discipline of Christ in his Churches) to repair unto. And now for this they are compared to those damnable Hypocrites mentioned Mat. 24. 49. and threatened with no less then eternal desolation. We see what men may come to in time, begin with falsehoods, and end with cursings. But causeless curses shall not come, nor need these Churches regard, if they keep faithful to their God, though Anabaptists Anath•matize them.
