Secondly, People understand not that the worship of God must have the word of God to be the rule, and that the government of the Church must be according to the word. They think what shall be most suitable to the reasons of understanding men that is best. Because men understand not this we are in danger to fall.

Thirdly, People at this day think there is too much to do about Religion, and let us rather go in a way of policy to provide for our selves, as for that why should we injure or ⟨p. 168⟩trouble our selves so much? we have troubled our selves too much already. People think not their safety is in Religion therefore they shall fall.
Fourthly, people think if they be taught so by their Ministers that's enough for them. Is it not so with us now? Therefore we have cause to fear that the Lord intendeth us a grievous fall.
