This have I said (most dear reader) to warn thee, least thou shouldst be deceived, and shouldest not only read the scriptures in vain, and to no 1profit, but also unto thy greater damnation. For the nature of gods word is, that whosoever read it, or hear it reasoned and disputed before him, it will begin immediately to make him every day better and better, till he be grown into a perfect man in yt knowledge of Christ, and love of the law of God, or else make him worse & worse, till he be hardened, that he openly resist the spirit of god, & then blaspheme, after the ensample of Pharaoh, Coran, Abiron, Balaam, Judas, Simon Magus and such other.
