You will say, Must we beleeve every thing that is spoken? sometimes there are some things spoken that we cannot tell how to beleeve?
I do not mean so, to believe every thing merely being spoken, for you must take heed what you hear, as well as how you hear; but do thus much at least.
I do not mean so, to beleeve every thing meerly being spoken, for you must take heed what you hear, as well as how you hear; but do thus much at least.
1 In the First place, whatsoever comes in the name of God to you, (except you know certainly it is not according to the written Word) you owe so much respect to it, as to examine it, at least to try it whether it be so or no, as it is said of those Well-bred men that I spake of, that they did examine whether things were so or no. Do not cast off any thing presently that comes in the Name of God: Now any thing that hath the broad Seal upon it, you must not disobey: You will say, It may be counterfeit: but do not disobey it till you be sure it be counterfeit. ⟨p. 178⟩Oh that men would give but this respect to all things that they hear, never to cast them off till they have examined and tried whether they be so or no.
