Use. It should teach us then to labour to be wise in the worship of God.1 When we would maintain God in his worship it should teach us to learn to seek to out plot them; they are full of their plots, why should not the Spirit of God teach us wisdom as well as the spirit of Satan teacheth them? Why ⟨p. 359⟩should we not exercise our parts as strongly in the true worship of God, as they theirs in the way of superstition and Idolatry? But we see it ordinarily otherwise, That the men of the world are wiser in their generation than the children of light, they are deeper in waie• of policy and so deceive such as are simple If you take them upon the first presenting of things, the first show of things, they will seem to come with such colour of arguments as will certainly deceive you. Therefore you should beg wisdom of God that you might not be deceived through the subtlety of •atan through these men.
