The arraignment of errorThe arraignment of errour
The arraignment of error: or, A discourse serving as a curb to restrain the wantonness of mens spirits in the entertainment of opinions; and as a compass, whereby we may sail in the search and finding of truth; distributed into six main questions. Quest. 1. How it may stand with Gods, with Satan's, with a mans own ends, that there should be erroneous opinions? Quest. 2. What are the grounds of abounding errors? Quest. 3. Why so many are carried away with error? Quest. 4. Who those are that are in danger? Quest. 5. What are the examens, or the trials of opinions, and characters of truth? Quest. 6. What ways God hath left in his Word for the suppressing of error, and reducing of erroneous persons? Under which general questions, many other necessary and profitable queries are comprised, discussed, and resolved. And in conclusion of all; some motives, and means, conducing to an happy accommodation of our present differences, are subjoined. / By Samuel Bolton minister of the Word of God at Saviours-Southwark.The arraignment of errour: or, A discourse serving as a curb to restrain the wantonnesse of mens spirits in the entertainment of opinions; and as a compasse, whereby we may sail in the search and finding of truth; distributed into six main questions.

7 M. All our expositions should agree with the Analogy of faith, which you read of 12. Rom. 6. Prophesy according to the proportion of faith; now the Analogy of faith is nothing else, but the constant and perpetual sentence of Scripture, in the clearest places of it: of which sort are the Articles of faith, the Lords Prayer, the ten Commandments; and what ever is repugnant ⟨p. 251⟩to this is a false exposition: now for instance, that exposition, this is my body, by which Papists interpret, this bred is changed into my body; the Lutherans they say the body of Christ is under this bread: both these are false, they differ from the Analogy of faith.
