We had need therefore to beware of those that are superstitious Use 1 when they come with the greatest show of arguments: They are deeply rooted and can hardly be gotten off from Use 2 their superstitious ways; we had need likewise be deeply rooted in the truths of God or they certainly will undermine us. The Scripture telleth us, that the Spirit of God searcheth the deep things of God, 1 Cor. 2.10. revealeth the mysteries of Christ; Those that have that Spirit of God1 that searcheth those deep thing of God, they are the only men and women that are like to stand out against the deep policies of Idolaters.2 And the truth is, every godly man and woman though never so mean parted, yet they are more profound than the greatest Scholar in the world that is wicked and superstitious; for they have the Spirit of God that searcheth the deep things of God: and this it is that keeps their hearts from being taken with greatest profoundness of false worship.
