1That when God comes out against false Prophets, and appears against them, then God looks especially that people should not follow them, nor do as they have been taught by them. Ezek. 13.10. there is a woeful judgment denounced against the false Prophets, for prophesying peace when Gods purposes were set against Jerusalem, for destruction. Their judgment was, That they should not come into the Assemblies of his people, and my hand shall be against them; (and mark,) you shall know that I am the Lord God. They shall then know more particularly that I am the Lord God, when my hand is thus out against them. It is a mighty convincement of people, when they see the hand of God out against their false teachers; and if so, how may the ⟨p. 589⟩people of England be convinced of the evil of that way they so admire and cry up,2 when the hand of God is so heavy upon the superstitious time-servers and maintainers of these ways?
