Obs. 3 Men may be very diligent in instituted worship, and yet very ignorant: none so acted in their instituted worship as these people, ye• none so ignorant as they.
Use. That you are forward in instituted worship it is your commendation, but take heed this be not your sin, to be ignorant of fundamental things. It is the great design of the Devil to set up the man of sin, to keep men in darkness and ignorance; many who think themselves, and would be thought to be opposers of Antichrist, even in this, by their questioning of fundamentals of Religion, and disputings about their new Opinions, they raise him up; when as the truth is, it is the way the Devil useth to darken the truth of Christ and Religion, by casting a veil over it, therefore you that are guilty of this distemper, take heed though you have light in some things, yet take heed that a veil be not drawn over those things which do more nearly concern you, and are of greater consequence.
