When God delivers a people or person from danger, and they now Obs. 2, think to sin by this means more freely against him, is a lying against God. As they, in Jer. 7.10. said they were delivered for to do all these abominations. Or as that wicked King,1 being delivered in a storm, said it was to this end, That he might root out all the Lutherans. So, are there not many so vile who being delivered in a sickness, or from any great danger, think it is, that they might sin more freely: which is a most horrible wickedness, and lying against the Lord.

- 1Philip King of Spain.
For any man to urge any false doctrine or opinion upon another, is Obs. 3 a lying against God. Therefore take heed how you bring Scriptures to prove any error which you hold, or is maintained by any, for God will look upon it but as a lying against him. It is a dangerous thing to counterfeit the Kings Stamp;1 and is it not much more to counterfeit the Truths of God, by errors seemingly maintained by Scripture?
