Did ye never read the Epistles of Saint Paul: Saint Peter, Saint Jude? oh how do they sharpen their style against false Teachers, and seducers, branding them, with the highest ignominies that can drop from an inspired pen, Dogs, 1Wolves, Evil-workers, Wells without water; Clouds carried about with a tempest, 2to whom is reserved the mist of darkness for ever, presumptuous railers, brute beasts; having eyes full of adultery; covetous, cursed children, raging waves, wandering stars, to whom is reserved the blackness of darkness for ever. Cains ⟨p. 81⟩Balaam's, Cores filthy dreamers, murmurers, Complainers, sensual Separatists, who pretend to the spirit, but have it not.
