1THE word translated silly signifies, easily seduced, persuaded to any thing; we use to say, that children and fools are easily persuaded to any thing; men that are hardly persuaded to believe in God, and what God saith? yet are easily persuaded to believe errors, these are silly Doves: yet they thought themselves very wise, in going to Egypt, but they have done very sillily, 2 King. 17.4. the leaving of Gods ways and following our own is very silly: how many when it hath been too late have cried out of this their folly? From whence this Note may be observed.

1That although men by others may be misled and seduced, yet are they not excused; this will not excuse them before God at the great day to say others did thus, and I followed them, thinking them to be in the right.
